Should I be concerned?

I have not made a number two in about 3 days....it's been almost three weeks since surgery...thought I was doing good. Should I be concerned????

definitely. Get some fiber asap. Constipation over 3 days becomes super toxic for your body.

I am 6 monthd post op but still have days where I don't BM. Everyone is different, consult your Dr. They will let you know what to expect.

Are you really eating anything solid at 3 weeks out?? You can try a natural stool aid, but I'm guessing it's because there isn't solids going in.

Well I get super nervous if I don't go, I put Mira lax in my drinks, or if I know I'm not going anywhere, I do milk of magnesium! You gotta stay reg!

I use to be super regular same time every morning like clock work pre surgery. Now post, I don't eat no where as much as I use to. 2 1/2 months out every 3-4 days is regular.

Wow! So I know what to expect!

Sounds good very one thanks for advice :)

I had the same problem. I tried a stool softener, prune juice, and finally got some suppositories. Since then I put some Holy Crap mix in my oatmeal -chia seeds, buckwheat, hemp seeds. Works like a charm

Disagree. I was a every three or four day pooper pre op and poo even less often now. I'm healthy as a horse. :)

I was having the same concerns so I asked my dr and he advised my that's its normal since there's not as much going in, said to call him if I had any stomach pains or discomfort due to constipation.

But you should always ask your drs advise just to be on the safe side.

You really aren't constipated until like a week. Your fine, take a laxative and move it.
