Four days post op, you were very brave to have gone to a ball game. I understand its importance. Even so, I did not venture out until a couple of weeks after surgery for the reasons you cite.
There are fixers regarding the BM department, one more natural, one more chemical. Since the pain meds will clog up the works post surgery, you could give a try to dried prunes. I originally thought they would be YUK, but they were not, and went down well, in fact, I ate them by the bag full.
If that does not soften things to workable, Colace, an over the counter softener was what my surgeons prescribed post surgery. It was originally prescribed, then became over the counter during the last seven years.
If you were prescribed additional pain management meds for the post surgery pain, USE THEM. My nurses have always said "stay on top of the pain." I am a believer. If you were not prescribed something, my doc did tell me to resume the pain management meds after surgery and to use them until he and I worked out a withdrawal plan.
Prayin for ya down Texas way,
