malika02 · 10-06-2007, 03:58 AM

Same thing happened to me, I looked pregnant as well...as soon as I quit taking my pills I was fine. Try drinking prune juice, that might help. Also some girls have recommended getting a sort of laxative, but I can't remember the name of it right now.

NavyWife · 10-06-2007, 04:26 AM

This was the worst for me.. Im trying to look sexy while healing but the preggo belly wasnt working lol.. its totally normal.. mine has gone away a lot! and yes it takes a while to go to the bathroom again.. I think I went on day 6-7

If you're like me and can't stomach prune juice, use stool softeners; just don't over-do it with them. I don't like stimulant laxitives because they can cause stomach cramps and that's the last thing any of us need. Pear juice helps too and tastes good. Oatmeal and whole grains and fiber rich foods are good.

Stay away from the BRAT diet (bananas rice apples toast) that does the opposite of what you need.

HTH

Yeah it's the meds. I didn't go poop for over a week! I've always had good luck with eathing apples to help it along. And drinking HAAHAA One good night of beer drinking always makes me poop in the morning! LMAO

thanks I know gross.

Try buying an over the counter enema, thats what I had to use, I dont really like things in there but its just like a plastic douche bottle except in the back door, and the applicator is small so its not uncomfortable. I had to use one because I went on day 6 and could hardly walk due to constipation. They also sell tea's that help you go, drink them at night and by morning you are ready!

jenn · 10-06-2007, 01:35 PM

thanks guys I'll try those things

You might also consider adding yogurt to your diet, or taking a probiotic (acidophilus) supplement. They help supply your body with the "good bacteria" that you need for digestion. Antibiotics contribute to constipation -- in addition to killing bad bacteria, they kill the good bacteria in your body too.

sognatore1228 · 10-06-2007, 02:05 PM

The minute I stopped taking mine...all problems went away. Are you ready to stop taking them. Keep in mind...too much bran can constipate you too. What about a salad?

Too Funny...but true!

Boobs-a-Bouncin · 10-06-2007, 05:47 PM

Walk around as much as you are able (or advised by PS), drink lots of water (warm does help some people as already suggested) and since pills/bran isn't helping so far you might have better luck with prune juice because it has different mechanism of action. I hope you get some relief soon! Those pain meds can really do a number on a lot of people!

TrekChick · 10-06-2007, 10:59 PM

I just went through this from my hysterectomy this week...... urgh! My doc said no dairy, meat or veggies until AFTER I made a #2; don't treat constipation "from above" - meaning don't take oral fiber or oral laxatives as they just make you gassy and uncomfortable when you're still blocked up. He said DO eat soft foods - jello, apple sauce, clear broth, apple juice, cranberry juice; walk a little every couple of hours to get your GI system functioning again; try not to force it when it finally starts to happen; use an enema if it doesn't happen naturally. I had to visit the toilet no less than 6 times over about a 12-hour period before I unclogged (sorry TMI!)... it's definately one of the worst things about anesthesia!

FabBri · 10-07-2007, 02:30 AM

Ok I'm gonna get really gross here. So stop reading if you have a weak stomach...

This happened just 2 days ago so it's still fresh in my memory, although I don't think I'll ever forget. My PS had me on Percocet, and I was also taking stool softeners and drinking lots of water to make sure I went. Well I just didn't need to go for about 6 days, and the lo-and-behold, I had to go 2 days ago. Strain and push as much as I could, I just couldn't get the damn thing out. I ended up having to use 6 suppositories and pooped out the biggest turd of my whole life. I'm not even kidding, this poop must have been a foot long and 4 fingers across. I'm still walking with a little limp. Ouch. So ouch.

I did some research and if the suppositories didn't do it I would have had to go out and buy a home-enema to lubricate the poop out. Apparently that makes it come out like nothing.

Good luck and Happy pooping!!!

I had the same problem and tried Miralax...It is a new over the counter laxative that causes no cramping. Took it for 2 days and it did the trick...hope it helps!!

jilly · 10-07-2007, 09:55 PM

Lots of fruit and water. And coffee helped me to "go."
