pooping after surgery
My doctor said this is rarely an issue. I asked the question before I left the hospital because I had not had a bowel movement. The response from the physicians assistant was that what I should be more concerned with the exact opposite. Watch out if you feel like you have gas--you may get a lot more than you bargain for. There were several days that I needed to make sure that I was very close to the bathroom
You probably haven't eaten anything to poop out...which is why the enema didn't work.
I didn't have a BM for 7 days after surgery (by that point it wasn't a BM, it was a concrete tennis ball..i didnt have any pre-op bowel cleanse..)
I have delt with bad constipation since surgery - my norm now is every 4 days or so. I have to take colace and fiber (i got some gummy fibers and benefiber drink packets). It helps a little.
