General anesthesia for appendectomy inflamed but did not rupture no bowel movement for 3 days after is this normal?

This is the same as me, I had an open operation under General and had an inflamed appendix removed. It has now been 5 days and still no bowel movement. It is very uncomfortable and is made worse with food. I am reluctant to take a laxative as I want things to get back to normal. Hopefully this is just part of the healing process.
