I was wondering what pain killers are given with the surgery and how you former LIS-ers prevented constipation while taking them. Can they give you pain killers that aren't constipating?
How many days did you need the prescription pain killers before taking otc meds and what was the most effective otc that you used?
Also did you start your stool softeners the day you had surgery?
What did you eat to keep things soft? Did you start your high fiber diets the following day? I don't take fiber supplements, just colace.
I'm so nervous and I'm trying to prepare. Thank you all.
