for anyone whose gotten top surgery or any other chest surgery did u struggle to shit like i feel the shit in my stomach ready to go but my abdominal muscles are too weak to squeeze it out. like idk what to do the shit has just been in me for a few days
Anesthesia and painkillers will make you constipated. I had laxatives for both my hysto and top surgery, and it took me 3 days to poop

I think it took like 4 days for me to be able to poop after surgery. I ate a shitload of my favorite fruits for hydration + fiber and that helped :)

my mom got put on two different laxatives as soon as she got out of abdominal surgery (her surgeon told her to). it's a common side effect of anesthesia and opioids
