Have been absolutely plugged up since surgery. Today was the 2nd BM i've had in over a week. Hoping it gets better.

It took me 13 days to poo. After, birds were singing, the sky was bluer, flowers brighter, children were giggling and rainbows were everywhere.

I get it.

I'm 1 week post op... No BM yet!

I cheer whenever I poo now - it's a life event these days. I get stupidly excited because it's so infrequent now!!!

Two things I live by Colace and Miralax! Makes life easier!

Who knew BMs could be such a game changer!?!

Milk of Magnesia is my BFF. I had to call on Jesus, Mary, and Joseph for relief the 1st time and it was about a 3 hour endeavor after 2 MOM doses over 24 hours time. I cried a little

OMG... Been where you ARE.. get you some MOM. Milk of magnesium. TAKE a capful. I KNOW what $hitting a BRICK feels like as I waited TOO long after surgery. I had to give myself enemas, and it still did not work. MOM, milk of magnesium will be your FRIEND~~~ take a cap-full early morning-afternoon......if it does not work the first time, ADD MORE to the cap on top of bottle. Take a double shot if needed, Just STAY CLOSE to the bathroom as it will remove the PLUG, but will make u RUN...................SMOOTH MOVE.................after MOM......... it makes u say AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Dude, i think i almost burst a vessel going the 1st time, literally brought tears to my eyes. I don't have kids so couldn't judge if this was worse than childbirth lol

Just had my band out and I pushed for an hour when I finally had to go. My legs and feet got numb from sitting. Talk about interrupting progress to stand and shake out the numbness in my lower extremities
