Hello Tracy. I've only just joined and am still in the early stages of learning about the various procedures but I've had a couple of major operations and always end up constipated afterwards. It's nice to hear how quickly people can recover from their surgery.

I was 10 days before I went to the loo but saying that I take 2 dulcolax once a week now as otherwise would still struggle to go....not worth the belly ache

Try the thicker soups versus cup a soups, it helps when you can move onto custard etc
