Is it me or has this happened to anyone...

Did anyone stopped pooping I'm going on my 4th day but I don't feel the urge or need?

Most of us need laxatives after surgery to keep from having a bowel obstruction.

Four days is not normal.

Yeah take stool softer I did the same .it even held my weight loss back for aboutv2 weeks over that .

Can it be that I'm not eating enough Protein?

​Actually eating too much Protein causes the constipation. Because we are on high protein diet we need laxatives, stool softeners, sometimes suppositories and enemas. Keep eating high protein but add something to counteract the constipation.

Ok thank you

I just went 5 days without a bowel movement and as I was talking to my mom on the phone I felt the urge!!! Thank God! Either way I'm going to take a stool softener! Be careful with laxatives, they can deplete you of nutrients (the very little we get) and can dehydrate you! Stool softener is a better route!

I went 6 days without being able to go to the bathroom, I got some milk of magnesia and stool softener and I went within the next few hours.
