My surgeon told me to take some Milk of Magnesia if I hadn't had a BM by day 4. As it turned out, I had one that morning, so didn't need to take the laxative. Mine was not very painful at all, but that may have been because I stood over the pot and let it slide out on its own. You should check with your doctor to see if he or she agrees with these recommendations though, because he or she is the one who knows your situation best.
