Hi All, I am 8 days post-op & still haven't emptied bowels. I have taken Benefibre once since I started pureed foods on Tues but just felt bloated & uncomfortable. Now I feel as though my stomach has hardened & bloated even more. I am having approx. 1.1L fluid a day which includes 300mls protein shake. Dr told me to wait for the 'urge' but thats not happening!!

My question I guess is, should this be taking this long....Help please!!

Drink some "smooth move tea" (actual name) you should be able to get it at Walmart or some grocery stores. Trust me it will work!! @@TereseG

This is too long! Address it today. I know the teas can work. There's alway Milk of Magnesia which also works quite well.
