I hope this is in the right place. If not, please feel free to move it. I have not been doing #2 at all in about 3 days. That's not like me because I go every day. What can I take that is safe for my stomach to be able to go? I'm almost 2 weeks post op.

Thanks to whoever replies:))

I took the Milk Of Magnesia last night and it worked great. No cramps at all. It went down very easy too. Thanks for the advice everyone!

Glad you got some relief! It's not a good feeling when u can't go.

No it's not. I took some more MOM tonight to make sure it's all out. I know, Tmi, but it happenes, lol.

I wonder if part of this could be because of all the protein as well? I remember when I tried Atkins...one of the main reasons I stopped was constipation. Just thoughts....

Man I'm having the opposite problem and my hems are hurting and bleeding grrr

Are you still on liquids?

Good news- once you start eating that will go away

Bad news- once the constipation starts, you'll wish you could go back to liquids.

I'm on iv nutrition or TPN I can try anything up to full liquids which does help a little but I'm just so swollen it sucks I'm either throwing up or diarrhea or both.. I have had problems with dumping since my gall bladder came out I was in the bathroom for hours at a time so constipation is wanted at this moment. But not lasting

lstacey- how is your stomache doing? Has the swelling/ inflammation gone down at all? Your in my prayers... Positive thoughts your way for a faster healing period. Stay positive you can do this!

My stomach is still swelled. I just called dr cause my throat feels swelled up. I still feel very sick especially when taking meds. Thank you for the prayers I need them and mine go to the others having issues too! Thanks for checking

Bless your heart! Definitely use the ER services if you feel your getting worse. It seems sometimes we have to demand to be helped.

Keep us updated on your progress and know we are here for you if you need to talk!

You are so right!! The nurse just called me back and said I need to call my family physician. So now I will have to pay copayment and watch they will say its from my stomach

This has made me seriously consider switching to the PPO coverage instead of H.M.O. that I have now!! WHY does everything have to be so complicated when it comes to insurance? :\ IDK if PPO would even be any better!

I'm going to a surgeon over an hour away, it worries me that if I have complications that I'll have to go that far to be seen.

Praying for a great recovery,mostly a fast one ... Please let us know how you are.

Let me tell you I'm frustrated I do have to go back to the surgeon while the family dr is now in the loop of what's going on there is nothing he can do for me. I will have to go to ER to get the problem checked out grrrr
