    Sorry for this topic everyone.
    But I’m currently 5 days post op and I haven’t been to the toilet since the day before my op.
    I’ve tried :
    Constipation tablets
    Fruits & smoothies
    Dates
    Prunes and prune syrup
    I’m lactose intolerant so I’ve tried dairy also.

    Help 🙁

    I’ve been taking movicol and not had too much of an issue with this. I’ve got Ibs and suffer with constipation anyway so I’ve been pleasantly surprised x

    I take it regularly anyway for Ibs but didn’t go for 3ish days after surgery.. if you take a couple of sachets today I’d say maybe by tomorrow morning? X
