I'm quite stopped up. Help, please?

[Anonymous]

I had surgery on Tuesday. Everything went well and I'm feeling great and healing quickly. Although, there have been gas pains. I feel very stuck. I have absolutely no urge to go but I know I need to (I haven't since Monday). Using my abdominal muscles very much gets painful quickly, so I can't push or try very hard to go.

I've eaten the same foods I normally do and I've even thrown in more things with more fiber and whole grain yet I still have no urge. I do have gas, but nothing more. I seriously do not feel like I need to go other than feeling stopped up and having gas.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
Also, please ask questions if it'll help your opinion. I need all the help I can get. I'll try not to go into too much detail...

Water isn't an issue. I drink A LOT of water. As I said, nothing I'm doing gives me the urge to need to go. I don't think over-hydrating myself will help the matter any.

The deed is done.

Although, I'll still take any help you can offer

I could use some more advice. Any help is helpful.

Water, water, water. People do not realize the importance of water for pooping. Yo should be drinking more thatn two liters a day. The fiber works by retaining the water, but you have to have the water in you for it to get into the fiber.

I drink plenty of water. I've gone through more in the past week than I have in the whole month before that. I used to drink tons of water but now I'm drinking even more. I'm fine as far as water goes.

I think if you're in serious pain, you shouldn't take advice from us and head to a real doctor. If the surgery was stomach related you may even have an infection.

Don't want to scare you but health is a serious matter.

[Asker]

It isn't serious pain, it's just enough to be annoying. I'll be going to a doctor soon because one of the incisions is being bothersome. Thanks, though. I know how crazy health can be.

[Asker]

Lol okay

[mei0313]

Camomile tea also helps too :)

[Asker]

Nice to know. I'll have to look into things like that and see what does what. Thanks :-)

Anasthesia does that. Consult your physician if you are concerned before taking anything.

[Asker]

I'm not going to take anything unless it becomes a big problem. Thanks, though. Anything else?

[Despondency]

Nope.
