Fun subject: pooping!

So, I went for 14 days with no pressure or urge to poop. I took a stool softener in case it was that. I pooped some, but then went another 5 days. Took another softener and voila...I pooped...once again, not lots.

Anyone else like this? Is it because I am not eating meals of substance, mostly liquids?

Following also. Surgery 2/14 haven't pooped yet. Taking stool softener, miralax every other day. Doesn't feel normal not to poop in over a week

I've been pooping every day since about day 5 post-op. Usually 3 times a day. It's mostly liquidy, but sometimes (maybe once a day) I'll get something a little more substantial. I just started purees, so am not sure how that will affect things. I've started taking extra fibre, because the 'liquids' can be a problem when I cough or sneeze. :49_triumph::70_poop::o;-)

Holy crap! (Litterally!) I pooped without help today!



Get Smooth Move tea. It tastes like licorice and is very effective. I go within 24 hours of drinking one cup.
