Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem ? Not to be harsh but was trying to go for about an hour !!!! I am taking down 3 protein shakes , about 3 bottles of water and 2 jellos a day ! But scared as hell to go to the bathroom again !!!!! I was wondering if it is the protein that is backing me up ????HELP :/

it was almost 2 full weeks before i had my first bm after surgery. my advice. start taking some kind of fiber supplement and a stool softener. my first one, was awful. like, hey honey, i'm on the pot and you may need to get the fire department to bring the jaws of life in here to get me out kind of awful. since then, i take fiber every day, and a softener as needed. it does get better, but, the fiber is a must for me.

good luck on your journey

Thanks lol

I think magnesium would help you. I got mine from the health food store. It works fast to I took the 250 mg just one with some Water and 10 minutes later I was releasing. This worked for me you can try it if you like it also comes in liquid and some times they carry it flavored. Also I started taking a spoon full of flaxseed oil everyday that keeps me soft just add it to your Protein shake you don't even taste it. I get that from trade Jose's at a good price. I hope this helps.

Sorry I meant from Trader Joe's.

Hoo boy. This is so common, so do not fret. My doc has me on colace - a stool softener - twice a day. After surgery she advised using Miralax for two weeks to get me straightened out. It is very gentle, but you might want to get some flushable wipes as well.
