So, I a, 6 months out. I really haven't had an issue with constipation. I take 6 Metamucil tablets per day, drink and walk. If I a feel a little off, I add miralax and docusate. So...I haven't really pooped in a few days, no discomfort, just nothing. So I added more veggies, more Fiber and NUTS. Well today I was so uncomfortable ... Felt bloated and abdomen felt swollen. I decided to try magnesium citrate to push it all along. Hours later...nothing. I then tried MOM. Then the agony started, I probably had about 3 in of feces stuck. I couldn't get it out and it wasn't going back in. So what do you do? And I was in pain. I used baby wipes and just kept pulling off small pieces as they came out. But the whole area was just swollen and full. I coud only push a little due to tearing pain, grab what I could...walked around and tried again. This agony went on for 3 hours. I cried, I took Valium...I tried to sleep. I then got a tremendous urge and went back on the bowl. Again, slow and painful chunks could be manually eliminated. Having to touch it do much, I swear I felt the nuts. Finally, I think that I got it all out...about the consistency of modeling clay. I tried to get up and walk around...then I felt such an urge, I went back, sat down and passed the thickes, longest feces of my life. It was over 12" long and at least 6" around. I took a pic for my doc. I weighed myself and was 3 lbs lighter than the morning. I still cannot believe the absolute pain, the feeling of tearing and just being stuck. What a re

Over finally, but what do I do to never, ever get ere again, am thinking no nuts?

I know that this was very graphic, but was so disturbing. I had to share for some support....and hopefully advice.

This is the single greatest thread in the history of the Internet.

This was WAY too familiar to me. I had a very similar experience on my third day out and had no idea what to do. I am now regularly drinking a small glass of prune juice daily and it seems to help. I do want to share that I got the best text of my life when I told my Husband that I had achieved victory...........RELEASED THE CRAPPEN!! lol

HAAAAAA!!!!!!! That made me literally lol and I never do that! Amazing.

When I'm constipated like that I do a full squat. Sitting on the toilet to poop when constipated is absolute torture. Doing a full squat where your knees are up against your chest and your butt near your ankles makes it easier to pass stool. If you were out in the woods you would do a full squat and I don't think the porcelain throne is a natural way to sit while pooping. I have a squatting platform that goes over the toilet, works great especially when you have to take a monster crap

i'm sorry, but you have a pooping PLATFORM?!?! I didn't know there was a market for that! lol. If this works for you then that is great...but I am sitting here trying to figure out the logistics of something like that and coming up with some hilarious scenarios...oh man...what a good laugh!
