Not ganna make this to long because most of u that had this will probably know. I need answers( someone plz help me) I’m on day 2 had no bowel movement and I know/feel like I could then the pain is just so bad, feels like I’m getting stabbed with a knife.  I even ate regular food and my stool soften and some mirlax and still cannot go. I know there is cloth up in my butt. When does that come out? After first bowel movement? Can I pull it out if I get my fingers up there? I know that is what is making this harder to let gas go. I’m just loaded with gas. Is it normal if I still don’t go to the bathroom on day 3?

    I am glad to hear you got it out and am getting relief. I definitely saw mine, I showered and pulled about 3-4 feet out before not being able to get anymore out. That’s when I went to the ER and had them get the rest out. Mine was clearly gauze and very bloody! Did you have a string of the gauze hanging out of you? Looking like a tampon string hanging out of you? That’s how mine looked.. the surgeon said it is rolled and packed in there.. how did you get yours out with a BM?? The entire thing of my gauze was probably around 6-7 feet long! CRAZY!! (Again, I’m starting to realize I made a very poor choice with surgeons).

       I still haven’t had a bowel movement I really hope what I blew out with gas was the gauze not a piece of my tissue. I wish I could show the pic. It looks so weird, and glad your getting relief. This makes no sence I still can’t have a bm. All I am doing is back and forth to restroom and if I’m lucky I push out a little amount of gas! Still sucks felt good last night back to the bs, a lot of leakage also in my underwear, I just want to go so bad to get this first bowel movement out.

    I hate to say it but (just remember everyone heals different) I am still in your same boat. Had one small BM the other day and gave not been able to go since. All day yesterday and today I am doing the same thing- back and forth to the restroom only to release gas. I also have very small leakage like what you are talking about, and YES.. the gas SMELLS AWEFUL! I would pay so much money to have a BM right now so I definitely understand your pain!! My stomach feels so full of crap and is even somewhat hard to the touch.. this is brutal man.. nobody prepared us for this!!! Hope you’re doing better today!

      I think the milk of magnesia was a awful idea from my nurse. Because like I said I’m the beginning i was just getting little gas. Then 2 hours lasted it fn hit me like a war zone. It would not stop coming out. And I had to push because it was just there and I can’t tell u so far that was the worst pain. This other pain is like nothing compared to that. Actually not nothing lol still kills but compared to that. Omg. My bathroom is destroyed. Hope u feeling better.

      Lol oh my god.. I feel your pain!!

      Last night I had my first BM and I never knew there was something that could hurt so bad. Felt like I was trying to pass a watermelon! I literally was screaming and sounded like a woman in labor. That was the most insane pain I’ve ever felt. The good news is today was a little less painful (still painful) but I was at least able to hold back the screaming this time.. BRUTAL!!!

      Yes very hard time walking! I think my issue with walking is the amount of swelling I still have. I tried to walk outside today for the first time and after only about 10 minutes the was a lot of pressure and swelling and back to the bed to lay down for me! I got Percocet for the pain.. I think I over did it on the pain meds and stopped taking them two days ago. I think the pain med was part of the reason I was so constipated. I’m no doctor but I personally have been taking a stool softener in the morning and another at night and drinking absurd amounts of water!

      Also, I have been taking lots of sits baths and then something that has helped to is: I used latex gloves and fill up the glove with water and freeze it. I then use the fingers as an ice pack since the can get in there much better. I was trying to use bags of peas, ice packs, etc. but then found someone suggest the latex glove and that has provided a lot of relief and is starting to help with the swelling. So.. stool softners, water, soft foods, baths, and ice. Hope this helps!

      Thanks again. U seem like the only one feeling exactly how I feel , I mean I know every one is in pain. My doc said he never seen 3 hemmroids , the size they were(huge). What do u think about this, I haven’t ate nothing sence day of surgery, I feel like I got to go, and nothing comes out on the other side it feels like the milk of magnesia/my first bm cleared everything out. U think that is possible. I haven’t ate nothing  I’m starving! What would u think if I had my self a egg sandwich,  and u thinks it’s possible my hole system is cleared out from all the milk of magnesia? And like I always tell u thanks for responding and trust me thinking about u to! Not in gay way lol recovery!

      Man.. you need to eat!! I don’t know if it cleared you out or not but I know you gotta way to help have energy to keep recovering! Have an egg sandwich, (I would recommend whole wheat bread, I’ve read that white flour is bad on the system with constipation, but I’m no dietician.. just reading crap online). Just try to stick to soft foods that will not bind you and have lots of fiber. (Google). 

      I’ve been smashing apples, blueberries, oranges, strawberries, soup, jello, Raisin Bran, etc. Gotta eat man! 

      Been awhile since I’ve been on and had a chance to respond so hopefully you’ve eaten and made some progress!

      Definitely try the latex glove! I literally have 5 in the freezer!! I fill up two finges with water and then tie it all off. The put the top of it that’s tied of under something In the freezer to let it hand and freeze the fingers. This and the baths have really been the only relief pain wise. And relief is used mildly but it’s something..

      Yea I did end up eating a egg sandwich. We will see if that messes me up when it’s time to crap. But I hope u feeling better even (a little better is progress, from last nights nightmare(screaming and almost fainting from letting my first bowel go, I feel way better. My ass just kills but no more stomach pain from gas think that’s what mad it so bad,  hopefully u are improving day by day !! Because I already can tell I am and hopefully u are also. I mean don’t get me wrong the pain is still fn awful but nothing close to what I went threw last night, the biggest thing is how long is it untill are pain in the ass will be there for. Time will tell. Lol well u will and should be more healed than me in few days. I honestly think I’m another 3 days and few more bowel movements each day. Ganna get a lot better for us.

      Hahaha that just cracked me up!!!! That’s awesome that he’s getting them for you! Should definitely give you some relief. Just keep it on the outside of your boxers for 15-20 minutes. If been doing it 2-3 times a day. Every night before bed for sure. Lol glad your getting some!

I think it was the first bowl movement. I’m surprised my neighbors didn’t call the cops after the first bowel movement 😂, we got this!!!!  Shoot me a message tomm let me know if anymore relief comes.

      Yes I ate jimmy johns  then I know how bad it makes the pain when u have ordinary food. I will stay with soup and other light stuff untill my ass is a little less sore and I can handle letting my bowels out. So now my next bathroom use should be a easier one , because I had soup! If I had something ordinary it would be another painful bm because I am still super sore. If I can go back I wouldn’t of eat jimmy johns! And my first bowel movement might not of made me scream on the top of my lungs😂
