Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
It might be possible that you have your normal bacterial flora get disturbed as result of the procedure.
This thing might cause your constipation occasionally.
First you start having light food with high fiber diet like salads (cucumber,cabbage, carrots).
You may take laxatives or purgatives like syrup cremaffin plus in night time to have a effortless bowel evacuation.
Drink excess of water and fruit juices.
Consult your physician if constipation remains persistent and for further advice.
