Post Op Question...

Be prepared, they are not exactly yummy. 👍

I also had lots of pain the first week too and I slept on recliner sofa for the 1st month (and I have a very high pain threshold).

I did not had a BM for the first 5 days and then I was told to take Milk of magnesium and that has sorted the problem the same day. I had BMs every day since as long as I stay within my liquids range.

Each day will get much better.

My pain meds make me tired also so I try not to take them.  As for bowel movement I'm worried about it also but had diarrhea in hospital day after surgery and two days later. Now nothing but gas.  Surgeon told me to take solace pills and chewable fiber tablets everyday.

I just bought some today so well see how it will work.
