How soon after surgery did you have one anddid you have to take something to encourage it and if so what.
Thanks

I know this is tmi, but on my 3rd day (my first day home) I had a bout of horrible diarrhea then nothing.
I think about day five I took some milk of magnesia for some relief.
Hope this helps.

I had diarrhea after I drank the stuff for the leak test. After a while I started having problems with constipation. I take 2 Colace a day, put 1 tablespoon of Miralax in one of my protein drinks each day and drink lots of fluids. This works for me usually.

I had loose BM/diarhhea for the first 2 weeks but that changed quickly. I now use benefiber or miralax on a regular basis. Cindy
