Not feeling so good

I feel bad today. Lack of sleep last night because for the first time after surgery I am severly Constipated. Sorry so graffic but I am miserable. Anyone have any remedies or old fashion advice or experience they can share? Right now I'd try just about anything to feel better.

Juanita, I know that I am only 5 weeks out, but just two days ago I had the same problem, strange because I am only doing liquids, anyway the nurse at Dr. Spaws office told me to take Milk of Magnesia 2TBSP and in 3-4 hours if I had not had a BM take 2TBSP more. Two doses worked for me, hopefully this will help you. I felt like going to the ER. Best of luck!! Shelia

Thank you so much Shiela. I appreciate this. I will go out and get some MOM and see if it helps.

MOM helped me. I have only had it once... thank god. Something I never want to experience....ever again!

I can totally agree. If this never happens again it would be too soon. I am definetly going to get some MOM today. Why must we suffer so ??? ; O )

Juanita. I am sorry to hear about your problem. I have dealt with that too. I never took anything by mouth because I was worried I wasn't allowed after surgery and I didn't want to deal with any possible cramping. I tried everything else. I tried an enema (I know graphic) and that didnt work. What finally worked for me is a suppository. It worked reallyt well and I keep some on stock at home in case it happens agian. It has happened once or twice. Good luck. i hope you find something that helps. Misty

Juanita, Iused mom too worked realllllly well hope your feeling better nothing worse then being constipated. sorry we won't get to see ya saturday. big hug anyway!!! sue w
