Hello,
You may be suffering from post-surgical chronic constipation. Probably, lack of fiber intake or continuous consumption of narcotic painkillers or sedentary lifestyle may cause Constipation.
Eat high fiber diet, regular exercise, and drinks plenty of water. Use Metamucil or Benefiber for soluble fiber.
If symptoms not improved, then please consult your doctor so that he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
