I had minor surgery on Saturday and since the general anisthetic, nothing is *ahem* moving. So what do you reckon? Fiber-One bars, or go straight for the sugar-free candy?

    Oh dear, don't they um...keep you in the hospital for that?

    Anywho, personally, for me it's dunkin donuts iced coffee or applesauce. Seriously.

    I dunno... I've heard that sugar free candy really gets 'er going. A couple coworkers ate a bag without realizing it was sugar free and well... It did the job ;)

    Nah, it was just day surgery. I even used it as an excuse to eat pizza all weekend which would usually result in.... results. But no dice!

    Black coffee, fibre (vegetables, apples, psyllium husk), some fats.

    I'd avoid the sugar free lollies. You want things to move out of your butt, not FEEL like butt.

    It's probably the narcotics, not the anesthesia.

    My doctors have always recommended Colace (Docusate) after surgery. It won't do anything drastic.

    give it a couple days and keep your fluids and fiber up. (husband just went through this a couple weeks ago.) if you don't move in a day or two, maybe call your doctor and they can prescribe you something. they sent my husband home with meds for that.

    Oh, the haribo sugar-free gummy bears will definitely have things moving right out of your butt.

    Ya, IIRC opiates (which are in your painkillers) slow things down. I had the same problem after my surgery.
