I had surgery 7/24, drank smooth move tea with no results, finally had a dose of Milk Of Magnesia before bed last night and this morning 7/29 got great results with no straining.
My Dr office recommended MOM with prune juice but it worked for me without the juice.
I feel much better and relieved that all is working. Good luck.

Thanks for posting I got some Milk of magnesia today getting ready to take some. I think that's my major problem and the reason why it's hard to get fluids in.

Take 60mls right before you go to bed and drink a full glass of water. Hopefully you'll be able to poop tomorrow and feel better.

I'm taking another dose tonight, hopefully every other day while I'm healing.

Trying to decide how soon to do the MOM. I had surgery 730am on 7/30, so I’m only on my first full day home...do you think around day 4 post-op makes most sense?

I'm drinking Smooth Move tea right now lol

Stuff works wonders in a few hours :)

If you haven't pooped in more than 3 days I'd surely take MOM or something to get things moving, Since my surgery 8 days ago I have made sure to go once a day. I don't want to get constipated and have to fight that battle. Good luck
