The title pretty much says it all.

I am taking narcotic pain medication because I'm i a lot of pain. I had abdominal surgery and my abdominal muscles are really weak right now, so the physical act of shitting is actually pretty difficult.

I'm also on this soft food diet and have no idea what to eat. I've been eating chicken soup, tilapia and spinach, Ensure, and probably way too many reeses cups. Probably not drinking enough water. And that's about it. It's been three weeks.

I am taking the maximum dosage of colace twice a day.

I managed to poop today but it was very difficult and painful. I don't want to quit the pain meds right now. I need to end this hell. How can I make pooping easier?
