You should still be having some movement by this far out. If you haven't gone at all I'd take something, I had to take something at about 5 days out to get it moving. Not to sound like TMI but it was in there, but I didn't feel constipated yet at that point, but I didn't want to feel that way either.

I went at 4 days out, then not again for another 6 days. Now it never stops! :(
Take something now.... What I wouldn't give to have the problem that some people do which is loose bm's. I never had a problem before surgery.. Always loose daily bm's. I now have tons of stuff everyday to have a regular bm. I take Phillips mag caps, docusate, Walmart brand stool softeners and occasionally I have to throw in a biscadoyl stimulant to go. It has been the most difficult and truly horrific part of this process. A lot of people use miralax but it makes me have lots of gas, so daily I struggle to find the right mixture to produce a bm without killing my butt... Sorry if TMI I just wish I had been told pre op to prepare and medicate accordingly. Good luck!!!
