Doing a little poll...
How many days after surgery did you have your first poo? Assisted by laxatives or unassisted?


I'm only 2.5 days post-op so I'm just gathering data. But if you want to tell me your poo story go for it. I'm all ears.

11days post op. What did you take for constipation and how much? How often?

4 days postop, I took a half dose of milk of magnesia in the morning, then a second half dose before bed. Went during the night. 3 days later i did a full dose before bed, went during the night. Didn't take stool softeners. Off pain meds now so hoping that keeps me on track
