Plenty Fluids: It's likely to take some time before your bowel movements return to normal. Start with Physiotherapist .The sphincter muscles around the back passage can become weak as a result of surgery and when not in use. Pelvic floor exercises helps. Use a squatting position to assist in emptying bowels If possible focus on relaxing when sitting on the toilet .You may add stool softener or Miralax, Fluids
