Day 6 post surgery, I was really suffering yesterday with belly pain. However I was also on day 7 of not pooping!!
The pre-op liquid diet was hard on my bowels since I eat a lot of fiber. The lack of anything my mouth and a few days of 400cal of liquids only left me very uncomfortable.
Yesterday I had 30ml of Milk of magnesia, and 15ml of the same this morning and I finally passed it. What a relief!!!
It was very strange to me to be constipated because all the DS people talk about loose bowels. That might come now too, but I was getting concerned.
I’m happily resting and my incisions are feeling less strained.
I have an egg timer to remind me to keep sipping all day so I’ve been getting 50ish grams of protein and 48-60ml of calorie free liquids as well.
Feeling pretty good!
