6 Months Post Op, Great Difficutly w/Bowel Movements. Advice Needed.

Since surgery I have not gone to the Bathroom reguarly(#2) I went a whole month with out going, I took 3 ex-lax, the tea, upped the fiber, did Milk of Magnesia. NOTHING worked, My doctor did a rectal exam and he said he could feel it. He gave me a drink, I gagged it down and it just gave me gas. I gave myself an enema and it took 45 minutes and hurt real bad but I finnaly passed a small stool. I am nauseous and cant really eat. For breakfast I had .5 oz of cheese I can still feel it 3 hours later and no desire to eat.I feel full still and I feel like it is in the back of my throat. I am dizzy whenever I stand up and have pain in the lower abdomen. and overall not feeling well. I called my surgeon and they just keeping giving more suggestions about things to do for the constipation, My PCP doesnt have a clue what to do, keeps sending me back to the surgeon, can anyone relate and guide me in the right direction? Thank you Nicole. I am 6 months out, had Lap RNY, I have my gall bladder and have lost 105 pounds
