I know vets say that if you're constipated, the best solution is to eat more fats... any ideas on how I can do that if I am experiencing it at 3.5 weeks post-op? I'm still on soft foods and averaging about 30g Fat and 40g Protein per day. I haven't had a BM in 2 to 3 days now, and it does NOT feel good to be in my shoes right now. Would taking a cap full of Miralax hurt at this point?
EDIT: If I am able to pass gas, does that mean it's not constipation? I just realized I have been able to do that a few times the last few days...
Also having some sharp pains in my lower left abdomen near my belly button (that I haven't had or it wasn't significant before). I don't have any incisions in that area.
