Someone commented on constipation caused by the painkillers. My husband’s recovery nurse told him to always take a stool softener when taking painkillers after surgery. He had no problems with constipation after surgery.

Oh I agree fully. No extra weight to the situation is always a big plus. Thank you much 💯

That was probably me. I already have some issues and I had doubled my Amatiza and stool softener to twice day. Didn't help and after 9 days my Gastro had me do a bowel prep that worked in like less than a hour. I did everything..Enema, suppository, prune juice...you name it. Just a FYI because it's definitely a real possibility. The pain meds slow down intestinal motility that causes the issues. I'm glad your husband did well with just the stool softener. I sure wish I had.
