Need IMMEDIATE help with impaction/constipation

Please don't read if you find this topic unpleasant. I am two months out. Am eating mostly ALL protein in the form of meat and protein shakes. Am taking calcium (Citrical), iron and vitamins. I drink 64 oz of water a day. I feel good EXCEPT I am SEVERELY constipated enough so that I have a pretty bad impaction. I have been plugged up severely for the past two days. This morning I went out and got glycerin supposities, nothing. After screaming on the toilet for an hour, I finally used my fingers and could basically pull out some terribly hard ball. I got enough out to relieve the pain and pressure in my rectum but it caused me to bleed and I still feel miserable. I have sent my husband to the store for MOM, prune juice and some sort of suppository to help with the pain I caused myself by trying to dig out the impaction. I have strained so hard I'm afraid I will have huge hemorroids and don't want to go through this again. Anyway, I have read everyone's advice here on how to prevent this from happening again (I plan to use Beneful, add some carbs and some fat) but until I'm on the prevention side of this problem, what am I to do to get rid of this impaction?
