You should call your doctor's office about this. They can help you, I'm sure. Are you drinking enough liquids? Would you be allowed to have prune juice? May if you diluted it with water.

I was just at the doctors today and they said call if its more than 3 days, when in doubt try and find out!

Prune juice is a great natural way of moving things along, or miralax or something like that .. check with doctors office to see what they recommend.

I've the same problem, I tried a natural tea for const yesterday no luck!

I had surgery on Mon 2 Jul and its was 8 days before a BM. Even when it happened, it was rather uneventful!

I've been on liquids only since surgery and despite adding some Benefibre to Protein shakes, juice and Soup, i still had no luck.

I spoke to the surgeon at day 7, as well as a mum who is nurse, and both noted with such little fibre in the diet it was going to be difficult. Both recommended keeping up the Water and walking which can help bowel movements. Fortunately i didnt have any specific pain from it (although still uncomfortable post surgery, it was hard to pinpoint if that was the problem).

My surgeon recommended benefiber.

Thanks all I will call dr this an

I had an anema from chemist yesterday, it work In minutes, also taking some prune juice daily
