Forget the Metamucil.  Go out and get some Milk of Magnesia.  You need to have a bowel movement.

Colace is a stool softener, it sounds like  you need something to get things moving! Yes to milk of mag, asap!

I need more info to answer are  you eating enough???  How far out are you?  Are you tracking?  Based on the shakes I'm guessing about 60g of protein with is good.  Depending on how far out you are determines MY response to the question.

As far as not pooping...collace is a stool softener (if I remember correctly).  Metamucil is a fiber additive.  Both EVENTUALLY make you go poop.  Milk of Magnesia WILL make you go.  Again how far out are you?

A stall isn't 2 weeks.  Your body undergoes changes.  A true stall is more then a month (all of this is to ME).
