I Have A Question About Going To The Bathroom

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:))
