Is it normal to use an enema and not have ANYTHING come out ?

Including the water that JUST went in!! I'm almost 3 months post op. (open rny) I've had contipation issues since surgery. I don't have BM's w/out an enema. (Before surgery, I would go at least once every two days) Now - after surgery - it's enema or no BM! :( Today, which is only the 3rd time I've done the enema, NOTHING came out! Not even the water that just went in!! Has that ever happened to anyone else? I'm getting scared - I know I need to call the doctor - just wanted to post here since it's Sunday. Thank you all!
