Let's hear it for the Squatty Potty!

I'm 3 weeks out from my robotic assisted hysterectomy. My "big and ugly" uterus had to be removed through an abdominal incision and the idea of a poo...gave me serious anxiety. I was taking Miralax but was terrified of becoming constipated. However, as day 4 was coming to an end...I felt the urge to go, but couldn't make it happen! Then I remembered the gag gift I received in a gift exchange at Christmas. I busted out my new "squatty potty" and life has changed forever. I promise you, I'm not selling them or advertising for them! It almost eliminates the need to push by properly aligning everything. I'm serious...best thing ever!!!!

I got mine online years ago.
Squattypotty.com
Hope you feel better soon.

They have them on Amazon too.

If you can't find the Squatty Potty, then you can simply use a low stool, as I did. Happy pooping, and best wishes for your continued recovery!

I'm a week post op and I love my Squatty Potty! I was taking Miralax, stool softners, drinking tons of water ever since day 1 post op. I struggled to go so I asked my sister to drive me to Bed, Bath & Beyond, best $25 I've spent, plus you can use a coupon. I wouldn't say it makes you go as much as it cuts down on pushing. Best of luck

Mine came from Bed, Bath and Beyond. But I have seen them on Amazon as well!!! It looks like a step stool but it slides around the bottom of your toilet when not in use. 👍🏼

Got mine at Amazon but yes, they are right there at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Love mine!

I showed a pic to my dad and he thought I was crazy, but later that evening I
had my own homemade wooden squattypotty.!!! I love it, it's a little low but still the right idea!
