Bowel movements

So I have always been a regular person. Every morning like clockwork and somedays during the day. I'm 4 days postop and I haven't had a movement since Christmas morning 5 days ago. I don't feel bloated at all and I didn't have too much trouble with gas pains. Just wondering when this will start up again? I'm hoping that I won't become a constipated person and if there is anything I can do know to prevent it.

    My surgeon said to use Miralax. You need to just follow instructions by your doctor. Everyone is different so only go by what YOUR doc tells you to do.

    Just trying to help!!
