I have this anti nausea medication I take sometimes that gives me major constipation (zofran) and even like 4-5 days fucking sucks. Can't imagine 45, I would die

Yeah, I've solved the no-poop riddle too: scoop 4 or 5 heaping spoonfuls of cream of wheat into your mouth and swallow with water.

I couldn't eat/poop for over a week. I just drank juice/milk for sustenance, and gently massaged my guts every day until things started slowly working again. I thought I was going to die/have surgery. Weirdest thing was that I never got hungry. Technically, getting full quickly was my goal, so massive success!
