I hope it works! The step after that is a glycerin suppository.

After that, they say to contact your primary physician.

I am now 4 days post op and was getting worried about constipation and awaiting my first BM. Based on some research I have done I have found that have one cup of Senna herbal tea daily has let me help things along on top of walking a lot. I also discovered that Dandelion root herbal tea helped me drop some of the post surgery water retention that I incurred. Mind you, I had Miralax, Colace, Milk of Magnesia and Ducolax at the ready and have yet to open any of them. Good luck!
