OMFG!!! I had the worst experience yesterday. To give a little back story, I had some real constipation issues the first 10 months post op. It was not fun but I was I dealt with it. I have been regular since then.
Shoot forward to yesterday. I've been going these last few days but maybe not as "much". And I have been really good on my fluid intake so no issues there. Most of my fluid comes from water because I have always been a big water drinker. Anyways, I really had to go. But it just did not want to come out. So I tried a third of an enema. Nothing. I kept pushing but it was like it was too big and hard. UGH. I was in so much pain. I had to use a suppository. And then some more enema. Finally, after about 45 minutes I went and it was such a relief. But during that struggling time it hurt so bad that I seriously thought I was going to have to have my husband take me to the emergency room to get some assistance. It was THAT PAINFUL!!!
And to top it off, I had my work Christmas party so that put me behind schedule for getting ready. DUDE. I hope I never go through that again.
Yeah, I know this is gross. But I know I am not the only one who has had bowel issues post op. Anyone who has them, it is always a good idea to have suppositories and enemas in your medicine cabinet. I think I would have died of embarrassment had I really had to go to the ER for some poop scooping. Can you imagine? The good thing is it all ended well.
