I know it is TMI, but I am constipated.. I think.. I say I think because I haven't really pooped much in 3 days... BUT, I do not really feel like I NEED to poop...

Normal or not??

I took 2 stool softeners yesterday and then again 2 more today.. still no urge to go... I have also been drinking diluted apple juice.

anything else I should do? or just wait for things to get moving?

oh man... i didn't poo for 9 days after surgery. It was cray cray. I started adding A LOT of Sunsweet Suprafiber to my smoothies AND takling 2x dose of Miralax for days 6-8...then on Day 9 the miracle happened. Now that I am 8 mos out, I make sure to include a lot of high Fiber foods in my diet...or it somes back REAL QUICK. Something about super-high Protein diet...it's binding (much like our decision, lol).

Here is a good one that will help you. 1/2 tablespoon of butter, 2 tbsp of Milk of Magnesia, Prune juice mixed in a cup, Microwave it for warm feeling and drink it. Wait 30 Minutes and it is magic.

Please this is for when you are really STOPPED. Best practice is to add fiber to your daily .

Trader Joes Just mangos. A couple of those a day will help.

I'm 6 days out, and no BM yet. I'm going to try a bit of miralax tonite, as it was the one that gently worked for me prior to my surgery. Sounds like this is a common problem after surgery.

Oh Lordy! I am four days post op and haven't had a bm since 2 days before surgery. I Amin the airport miserably waiting for my flight home so I don't want to take anything until I get home. On top of that I started my period early today. Double cramping! Can't wait to get home!
