Are you in discomfort? Its not like you are eating a lot that produces a bowel movement.

If you are in discomfort from not having a movement some MIlk of Magnesia (you may need to take a couple doses) should get things moving. That's what my centre recommended when I had my surgery.

Sometimes the best support you can get isn't all purple puddles and pink rainbows.

if you're feeling uncomfortable, you might need a laxative. You're not ingesting a lot of bulk, so you may not need to get rid of much.

I'd call the centre & get their advice/input. 9 days seems like a long time to go without a BM.

you definetely need to take something. It is not good to leave it so long.
