Hi 2 days post op I past a little black nugget!!! Then again 3 days later. Pre-op it used to be twice a day like clock work. Now it is only every 3 days or so.
I was starting to have problems but someone recommended taking Movicol and it worked like a charm. After using it for a couple of weeks my digestive system has returned to normal and I am back to my usual once a day routine I would highly recommend Movical to anyone as it is so gentle and effective so when you do go it is completely painless
I did not "go" for 7 days post op and when I returned to the hospital to have my wounds cleaned I was asked and when I told the nurse I got a telling off.
I thought it was normal becuase I was on the liquid diet but the nurse said " Why did you think we sent you home with lactulose?"
Anyway advice taken and started lactulose once daily and it worked like a charm. I go once a day now and take lactulose maybe every 2nd or 3rd day but will wean myself off it over the next few weeks now I am eating and drinking fairly normally.
