Laxatives are the thing that would not only start you down the hall but also help you pace back and forth to the bathroom. Make sure you stay hydrated if you use em. I bought suppositoris just in case. And I know that it's the pain reliever that stops me up. So I don't take anything but Tylenol. The thing I find silly is to weigh myself before and after to see how much junk I was carrying. Hope all is well with ya.

It’s already been said, but I’ll say it again. Hydrate. Especially if you use a laxative. I was told by my doc to expect constipation once you get on solids as a high protein diet will cause it. I’ve been lucky, so to speak, as I have a digestive disease that causes the other and they are balancing each other out. Good luck. Hope you are able to go soon.

You ladies are true Gurus, I was dehydrated. I actually spent this past weekend in the hospital. Although I am still having issues keeping down my protein drinks, I am getting my water down. It takes some hard work, but I am doing it. I am now 23 days post op. I have my first appointment with the dietitian this upcoming Thursday.

Don't forget you get to count your protein, if in liquid form, towards your daily water goal.
