Bowel problems

Well since my gastric bypass surgery on nov 4, i've had problems with my bowels, had to take milk of magnesia two times to help with some relief, well yesterday it was my 4th day i didn't go and felt the need to but couldn't, it hurt so bad. tried 2 milk of magnesia at lunch, a stool softener in the afternoon, and at night time still didn't go and was in pain, i went to the pharmacy and go some suppositories, tried 2 of them, and had no relief, well my husband took me to the emerge and told me good thing i came cause there was nothing i could of taken to help me at this point cause i was so inpacted,,,,, well you know what happend next,with the pain and embasement, he losend it up and after 2 enamas finally i had some relief, i thought i was doing fine,,, i'm having 8 to 10 cups of water a day and walking 20 min everyday, the doc said it could be a reaction of the anestetic, and all the changes that i've been doing ,,,, so anyhow listen to your bodies, if you don't go the max 5 days then take something forsure to help you... just a thought. thanks. claire
