Hi all. I am on day 10 of basically NO bowel movement at all. I was told to go to the ER 3 days ago. After an embarrassing rectal exam, they said there was nothing "down there." They did an x-ray and said they did not see any blockages and sent me on my way with colace. I've already tried colace, Milk of Mag, Miralax, Fiber, several enemas, Water, moving, you name it. All I consume is Protein. My surgery was on the 21st of May. I AM eating.

I am SO FULL. I can hardly eat, let alone drink my protein. My weight loss has nearly halted. Nothing is moving. I've already posted about this once, and it's getting worse. Has anyone else experienced constipation to this degree????

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.
