Stop the narcotics: Firstly, get off the pain killers. Secondly, drink plenty of water and a diet rich in fibrous fruit and vegitables. Yogurt and Lactobacillus milk is good Lastly, Get on DSS and Miralax (polyethylene glycol) until your get regulated

Possible: Obtain a stool softener and take it daily. If you are better then great, if not see your doctor. Make sure you have a diet high in fibre. All the best.

Be seen: I would definitely recommend you be seen just to make sure your surgeon is aware and he does not feel like you are having some type of complication.
