Ok, this is going to sound gross but I’ve been on my liquid diet almost 2 weeks now and I’m having major constipation right now. I have taken stool softeners and did an enema. When i go to push, the hard piece is stuck and liquid just comes out around it. So nasty I know! I’ve even resorted to digging pieces out myself and still nothing. Now I’m in pain and crying. I can’t pee because the pain of pushing hurts my butt. Does anyone have a recommendation or should I just call the doctor?

I have no real advise other then to keep taking a stool softener and maybe a fiber supplement you can sprinkle in your foods. I went just over 2 weeks without being able to go #2. I feel your pain.

That happened to me too. I tried everything you did too but in the end I had to push really hard until the clog came out and then it was just liquid all behind it.
It’s from all the protein in the shakes that can make you constipated.
Good luck!

Metamucil 3x a day, colace 3x a day, maybe the occasional miralax.

The fiber game is all about staying ahead, because once you fall behind its a pain in the ass

Keep up on the stool softeners . and the good old emma. lol that is what we have called it since I was young. I literally used KY jelly when I was that bad . yes it sounds gross but it worked (as a lub not orally) lol. I know it isn't nothing to laugh at .I started bleeding cause it was so hard . then after that I stayed on top of my Muralax . every evening and my pro biotics and stool softeners. Like they said it is a real pain in the ass literally

I just went through this yesterday again and i have been faithful on my stool softeners too .I need to get more fiber snacks in too

OMG! I experienced the same thing this morning. It was the worst pain I have ever felt. I thought I was going to faint on the toilet.

I’m 10 days post-op and I have been taking stool softener every night. Anyone else have any suggestions?

I’m drinking the smooth move tea as I type this.. I’ve also increased my water intake and have been consuming 2 premier shakes everyday since surgery. Please help!!!! TMI, but my rectum still hurts so bad :(
