Marty you are killing me over here, lol, especially your "Well Doc, I had a spot of coffee, with a little dash of Palmolive." lol. Funny. Has anyone tried apple juice? When my son was constipated apple juice was an option. Maybe you can find some unsweetened apple juice or baby apple juice and try that. I heard pear juice is good as well. Apples make me go to the bathroom fast, as well as bananas. I'm not post op yet, but by day ten I would hope you could have a banana, or maybe banana puree (baby food.) I'd suggest drinking more liquids. Hot liquids always got me going, and sometimes I would put a dash of cayenne pepper (definitely ask your doctor before trying the cayenne pepper.) Cayenne pepper is suppose to be different than black pepper because its not suppose to make your booty burn, however I have found if you use to much its possible. Good luck all.

about 10 prunes + 2 cups Water in small sauce pan boil until reduced by about half strain and drink while as hot as you can tolerate. DO NOT go far from home for a while ! Grandma used to put a little brandy in there too! She put brandy in everything though,my experience is it works fine with out it.

Shortly after my surgery, my NUt included fresh apple juice in my diet, and I am convinced that kept me regular, because when I didn't drink my juice, I had severe problems with Constipation. Now that I am allowed, I have half an apple,peeled, or some watermelon everyday( yes, I know it's high in carbs) and that helps.

I never knew that my initial post would turn into such a wonderfully entertaining topic. I love this forum!! FYI - I'm doing much better.
