Calling on Pebtash

Hello Pebtash,

Just saying hello from the boards and hoping surgery and recovery go well!! 

Thank you. Surgery went well. I'm 5 days post op now and healing well except constipated. I have tried taking 3 stool softners  for 2 nights in a row, then 4 stool softners with a laxative in them and still nothing. Sending hubby to the store today to find something better. The last thing I want is to have to go to the hospital for this. But my stomach doesn't hurt from it.  Lost more weight. I am almost at my 50 pound mark since the beginning. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks for inquiring.

But of course I have advice.

Have you tried drinking some very warm chicken broth?  You know, it is just a tad "greasy" and warm, ought to help things slide thru.  ;)
