How often should you be having a bowel movement at almost 2 months out? The reason I ask is because since surgery I have a bowel movement maybe once every 2 weeks and this last time its longer than 2 weeks. I pass gas so I know something is moving around in there. I take MOM and it does not seem to help. I rarely got constipated prior to surgery and when I did I was very uncomfortable and I don't get that same feeling now. IF I am lucky i get about 2oz of protein in me at each sitting and can not stomach any veggies to get any fiber in so my diet consist of pure protein. I tried to search the topic but found a lot of post about a week or so post op so I apologize if this is a repeat of another thread...Is this common?? or am I the only one and need to start worrying and call the doctor?

I've thought about trying dulcolax. I have had one bowel movement in the last 2 and a half weeks. I kept cramping and was even bloated on my lower stomach. I can tell that I need to go, but I can't.

Ok so just an update on what the Dr's office said...full dose of miralax 4x a day and 2 colace morning and night and if not relieved by tomorrow to do an enema. If that doesn't work then she mentioned a Coca-Cola enema??? Wtf! She said it's an enema with flat coke.

Bwahahaha. Coca cola enama, can't help the imagery of a carbonated enama.

Fiddleman that's exactly what I thought! I have never heard of it before but can't imagine putting coca cola up there!

I take Miralax every other day. I used to take it every day to get regular, now I only need it every other but I still go pretty much every day. No cramping!

When I have Greek yogurt..it helps me..almost everytime
