What Laxative To Be Used For Bowel Movement After Complete Hysterectomy?

Hi I had a complete hysterectomy by robotics Thursday, Jan 2, 2014. I have not had a bowel movement as of tonight. I was wondering what laxative you would recommend or what you recommend. I am walking a lot and moving around but have no results.
