Re: post-op 6 days
Bowel issues are common. My bowels finally got back to normal in the last week or so and I am 4 months post-op tomorrow. My salvation with constipation was prune juice... about 16 oz (2 cups) of it in one shot. I also upped my fiber and water intake. As to the prune juice, be careful because it will cause the other problem... I never was able to balance it from the one issue to the other if you understand what I mean. But it was was constipated, I rather suffer the consequences of too much juice than be sore because I was unable to have a bowel movement without some major straining and as you probably know, straining is a no no. Some ladies find that eating prunes, drinking hot tea, or mixing prune juice with apple sauce or juice will help too.

Re: post-op 6 days
Thanks for the info I'm hoping I dont go thru this for 4 months! I start a new job tomorrow and the doubling over gas pains might not go over so well!. I know I'm pushing recovery but I have no choice I have been unemployed for 2 years and finally landed a job.
Thanks again

Re: post-op 6 days
Please take care of yourself. You only have one chance to heal right so you need to rest as much as possible. I understand about the job but personally, I would be concerned about my health if I was going back so soon. I don't know what kind of hysterectomy you had but you still have hundreds of stitches inside you no matter what so please try to remember that and try as much as you can to let those stitches heal.
