What the F**K Up with the Constipation!

Jesus boys, I'm shattin pineapples. Okay, maybe not pineapple, but-no exaggeration, hand-grenades.Same size and same freaking texture. These dookies are so freaking hard and large my sphincter has absolutely no chance of pinching one off in a doable size.

Okay, I know this is rough, but to give you all an idea how terrible this is, I had to go in and get a couple of these bad boys. Vaseline on the digit and operation remove the dook was on. Oh MY Freaking God! These things are like steel. Serious pain and blood... I'm only 9 days out and I'm not eating, what is going on! Don't you need food to form these bombers?

Okay, not trying to brag. Trying to figure out what the H to do! I'm not on any painkillers and have not been since day three. I'm hydrating pretty well and taking a dulcolax daily. What to do?!

Had my first issue with constipation. After the surgery I was having diarrhea but this morning was brutal. About 45 minutes and I noticed blood in the stool which has me concerned. My doctor prescribed Colace but it said to stop if I had diarrhea which I did. Hopefully I didn't wreck anything. My doctor told me to start sweating to lose weight and I was sweating passing this.

This will pass. It finally did for me. Take the colace. If it gets too bad, use a fleet suppository. Sounds gross but it works and is for better than tearing your rectum or causing a bleeding hemorrhoid !

I'm think of adding some Metamucil or something to my Protein shake as well.

@@sgc that is a good idea. Fiber will help keep things moving once it gets started.

I second Probiotics... mine work wonders. Now I actually enjoy pooping.

ok, that sounded weird.

then again, I'm also thrilled I can actually wipe my own butt now with all the weight loss...

Colace has worked for me. Much better than being in labor for 45 minutes.
