2 Weeks Post Op Tomorrow

[Tamster01 36]

I still have not had a BM ????????????

My Dr said its normal, but I don't think so.

Has anyone experienced this?

Please advise!!!!

Have you tried Smooth Move tea? It works great!!!

[Tamster01 36]

@@bobbyswife - NO what brand and kind to get? I'm desperate at this point.

[bobbyswife 862]

Just google Smooth Move tea. You can get it at Amazon, or if you have a GNC near you, and some grocery stores have it.

I think I'm going to order some of this tea, just to have on hand, in prep for my upcoming surgery (provided I'm approved) ((trying not to jinx myself)

Just an fyi, I've seen it at Wal-Mart also.

Milk of magnesia helped me

Smoothe move is great!! Some of those teas (a s laxatives in general) make my stomach cramp really bad but this is mild but effective.

Yes, I've seen it a few places also. Grocery stores, Walmart.< /p>

I was given the ok to take mirilax and milk of mag also. But I'm the complete opposite at this point lol

A little too loose lol

Water, Water, Water!!! I went 2 weeks post-op without a bowel movement and my doctor said drink all your water (which I wasn't ????). And the next day I made it a priority to drink all my water, after that I had the best poop of my life. Lol

I didn't have a bm for close to three weeks post op (bc I became severely dehydrated in my first few weeks post op) and didn't have regular bm's until well over a month out. My dr Rx'd Miralax for me to help get things going. You can also try magnesium citrate. Tastes gross but FOR SURE gets things moving in the right direction!! Lol

You are so right water water water something I've always had a hard time drinking. Im going to challenge myself today to try to get down 32 oz of water. I know I suppose to drink more.

Metamucil Fiber clear and natural is great it's tasteless so you can add it to anything.

I was given an rx for senna on my discharge. I'm surprised they didn't give you an rx for something to speed the process along. You might also try prune juice.
