Help... I really need to poop



Recommended Posts

After going to urgent care this evening to help remove an impact (there was no bowel prep prior to my surgery 2/12 weeks ago), I'm now waiting in the ER since the urgent care didn't have a "vacuum." No more pride...this is crap. Literally!!!

I am so sorry! Seriously I am sorry! But you are getting it over with, it will be behind you (sorry) in no time. Think of the ER doc that does this daily.

For whatever reason avocado has always been a natural laxative that is extremely fast working for me. I can certainly report that post op that is still the case! Is there any food that you had pre-op that can help you push it out?

You can grind your shrimp up in a blender with some cocktail sauce? We all need a prescription. Can be taken everyday. It is taking every day by those with IBS AND CHRONIC Constipation

LINZESS... Is med

I paid attention to what my husband was taking when he did his colonoscopy prep; I figured if it was good enough for that, it'd help me with my post-surgery issues! However, I haven't had an issue yet. I was 2 weeks full liquid high Protein diet, and am following the same diet post-op. I am 3 days post-op and had a small bowel movement this morning without any outside help, but I'm not sure how it's going to go over the next 2 weeks. I have my dulcolax pills ready- left over from my husband's "experience"!

Try Actilax or Lactulose Syrup. It is a sticky liquid laxative and helped me greatly after spinal fusion surgery. I swear by it. In my work as a nurse, we also do a Coloxyl milk shake which consists of crushing 2xColoxyl with senna tablets, add 30ml Lactulose syrup and 20ml of Agarol syrup. Add 50ml of milk and mix together. Works a treat!!

I was feeling "plugged" two weeks post op today. Yesterday I took three generic bus idyl tabs. Six hours later, small firm bm. Have had several small mushy, loose stools since.

Really don't like autocorrect sometimes. The med is biscodyl. Teeny, tiny tablets.

The first month was the worst for me with Constipation. It can be miserable. I started taking a stool softener daily and now I'm so regular it's unreal.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
