Oh Banjo, I'm so sorry. At least you didn't hesitate to go to the ER. I took some Miralax yesterday and it helped. I've been working on getting in more liquid throughout the day.

Omg I haven't pooped in a week!! I'm scared now! How did you know this happened?!?! My doc said no laxitives cuz it would dehydrate me!!

me either..is this normal

It was a week for me also. Take your stool softeners even if you think you don't need them. My doctor explained that when nothing solid goes in, nothing solid comes out.

Hope all are doing well and wishing everyone a happy holiday.

Been absent for a few days, was hiding in an undisclosed location awaiting the end of the Mayan calendar.

Merry Christmas dec foljs. I just want to make you aware without scaring the inportance of bowel movements' date=' stool softeners, etc.

I am sure this wont happen to any one but this mornibg I was admitted to the er for fecal impaction. {think constipation x1000!}

I suffered at home from 9to 1, was in the er being helped not waiting from 1 to 7 am

My wish for you is be diligent, even tho I thought I was, and hydrate, and keep track of movements.

i don't think how bad i got was normal. but my doc has had me on some solids(jello,pudding,yogurt) besides liquids. stool softener is the best preventative. i did all the right things, but $#:! happens! or in my case, it didn't.
