constipation
How do you know if the pain could be constipation or due to surgery? I was going 2-3 times a day(loose) but still went potty yet since tuesday I started having a sharp pain from time in my right hand side that moves into my chest at times...like lower ribs area so it dawned on me that i havent gone to the restroom...Because b4 tuesday i was good and never had any pain! I did start pureed food on monday though...could this be part of my issues? (took a wee bit of MOM this evening. Anyone else have this issues or had it??? Is it common? ive had mainley pureed ground turkey, ff refried beans and eggs...ALL were listed on my diet... any ideas id be happy to hear. I go back to work Monday.
If you are not eating fiber then the high protein diet could be a culprit. Early on I would do colace combined with Mylanta. Once I incorporated fiber in the diet no issues since. (I need a minimum of 25 g and it is better to be 35+... I don't think most people need that much though??)

Be sure you are drinking plenty of water too. High protein diets are notorious for causing constipation. Your iron supplements can do you in as well. Thankfully, I haven't had this problem--I chalk it up to the fact that I drink pretty close to a gallon of water a day.
