More info than you wanted to know, but how do I know if its constipation?

I am going about 3-4 days (3 weeks post op VBG) with out even feeling the need to poop. I took Ex-Lax and went, but it felt like I was pooping razor blades and I bled pretty bad, and it HURT! Is this happening just because I am not eating that much? And why did it hurt so bad? Was that because I took Ex-lax and didn't really need to go? I have never had constipation before that I can remember anyway, and I don't know if this is it since I just don't feel like I need to go.
