It's TMI time with Shira's ass. Uh oh. Hi guys. So it's almost midnight. I haven't sh*t in a few days, and I'm getting antsy. Cause I feel it. So I took 2 Colace, figuring (i.e. hoping) they'd do their magic in my sleep. I'm now in pain, as I feel some stuff pushing, but the pain is sharp and throbbing, and when I try to go, the act of pushing hurts too much. Like WAY too much. What do I do? Should I wait it out until tomorrow? I'm not in danger or anything. I mainly wanted to know if anyone else has had this sort of experience.

Uh, I definitely have felt that kind of ****ting pain. (excuse my language) Basically, I tried to pu**** out. It was not pleasant... But I don't know what Colace does, etc etc... If you can wait it out till tomorrow and you think everything will slide out easier, I'd wait it out... Most of all,

.... everyone needs some friendly love when things like this arise.

It's very frustrating. Good to know I'm not the only one. My bathroom is filled with books now, for these inevitable times.

Personally, milk of magnissia is the rocker for BM problems. Drink water, water water. Dehydration=slow/no BM. remember three day rule. don't take anything until that third day. try adding a fiber suppliment. as you are further out eat things like SOY NUTS (FIBER), drink coffee... skip colace and docosate. go right for max dose of Milk of Mag. at any wls stage.

Milk of Magnesia is a laxative, and some can become laxative dependent, meaning they cannot go without one in time. MOM is okay in a rare emergency, but my surgeon warns that it's better to use Miralax, which adds water to the impacted stool.

Personally.....since we are sharing and all.... I don't take the pills. Thats potentially 2 to 6 more hours of pain. Go for the $2.00 fleet enema. Very quick results and no more pain. Make sure that you get fresh TP when you go also.

I went through this 2 days ago. 3 days with nothing moving and I thought I was going to die of discomfort. When I sat down I could feel it just sitting there with some pressure but no movement. I feel like everyone knows about my BM's now because how can you not share with family when your that uncomfortable. Finally some relief on Saturday morning, but feel it building again. I use colace but need to ad benefiber as suggested by Dr. Can't ever seem to get enough Fiber. Hope everything comes out ok! Liz
