I'm never comfortable talking about bowel movements, but I'm not sure if everything is normal. I am 19 days post-op and four days ago I had my first solid bm. (I was on liquids until 14 days out) I have taken that one solid bm an that's it. I haven't gone since. I was going regularly prior to surgery and going regularly after surgery (although diarrhea).

Any help?

I'm almost a year out and still not normal. (Bowel movements, that is.) Even eating cherries hasn't helped. (Most people get the runs from cherries.. nope, not this chick - at least not this season.)

If you cant go, eating a few prunes or drinking some diluted prune juice before bed works like a charm for me, without having to introduce pills or powders. I prefer natural products as much as possible
