Pooping after surgery???
NO...see all the 'never trust a fart' quotes. Meaning, that's all there is to it. You think, "oh, gotta poot."..EEEEEK UH ooooohhhhhNNNOOOO!!!!
Let's see...you are on day 5, it's time to start getting on the throne before pasing gas. You have been warned.
I would advise once this stage is over go ahead and start some fiber therapy, so you aren't constantly stopped up.

The docs all seem very nonchalant about how long it takes to get going after surgery. My advice is not to let it get much beyond 5 days or you're gonna have a real problem. By then, your gut should be awake from the anesthesia and, even on an all liquid diet, you still need to poop. Take some milk of magnesia to get things going then start dosing your self with your fiber of choice to keep things regular. (Note: fiber helps with both diarrhea and constipation) For most of us, things normalize after we're on regular food.

For the fiber seekers...for what its worth I've been taking an her al all natural laxative called swiss kriss...works wonders and doesn't leave u feeling bloated. You will have a moving experience in the morning if u take 2-3 pills at night. They also make it in loose leaf form for the tea drinkers. Walgreens sells the pills, n u can check online thru amazon or somewhere like that. Good luck!
