HEY LAURA...

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOUR POST, AND TO SEE YOU ARE DOING SO WELL..CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR PICS...I KNOW YOU LOOK AMAZING..!!

I HAVEN'T TRIED THIS YET, BUT A FRIEND OF MINE AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT BEING CONSTIPATED AFTER SURGERY, AND SHE TOLD ME TO DRINK HOT APPLE CIDER OR JUICE WITH A LITTLE CINNAMON AND IT WOULD WORK WONDERS...I  PLAN ON TRYING IT AFTER MY SURGERY ALONG WITH A STOOL SOFTNER...HOPE THIS HELPS...

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE NEW YOU..!!

I haven't had that surgery, but I had an 11+ in*****ision down my lower belly through the muscles when I had an ovary and tumors removed a few years ago, so I understand the fact that pushing with your muscles is a form of torture. The colace did work for me, it just took a few days, and the actual event was not painful because the colace is a softener, not a stimulant.

As Dr. LaMonaco says "you have to work from the bottom up".  I had to use a glycerin suppository.  Worked wonderful.

I took colace after my TT.  It sounds like you've got a lot of good suggestions.

Hoping things move quickly for you!!

And again, you look just awesome!  Maybe he will do a "friends and family" discount - LOL...
