Hello all!!! Excuse the inappropriate chat if poop but I need advice !!! Sleeved shirt 1/8/15. Have only had 3 BM and it they have been the most painful , and long thing ever !! Takes about 45 min sitting on throne pushing ( excuse the mental image) for me to be relieved .!

I need to drink more water I know that but have tried smooth move tea and it doesn't qork. I know I'm not eating much so won't have much to dispose BUT when do you become regular . Do you have any suggestions????? Please help

Water is key to a good BM, so increase your Fluid intake. Did your doctor put you on a stool softener of any kind? I was on colace for the first 30 days post op. I was discharged on Saturday and had my first BM on Monday. I've been regular ever since.

Other things that people have tired:

ducolax, miralax, benefiber, prunes, prune juice, apple juice, psyllium powder, flax powder, smooth move tea to name just a few.

No stool softner But will get some because Its painful !!!!! Im on purée stage so can't do prunes or prune juice . Will try Mille of magnesia and miralax asap! Thanks

check with ur nut as they may actually allow the juice. In addition u can purée your own prunes or buy babyfood.
