Worried about developing an impaction/blockage

Started my new job as an NEMT and it completely reversed how I lived before, which is a good thing for most of it but ever since I started I have been going to the bathroom less and less. I took mag citrate last night since I hadn't gone to the bathroom since Saturday and I think it's been working but i'm not sure. It's nearly been completely liquid-ish stool and thats what worries me, shouldn't there have been some solid stool?

Try to schedule to go daily at the same time. Bowels thrive on routine. You might want to look at guides for bowel retraining

I have tried that but unfortunately my schedule is very erratic and I don't always wake up or sleep at the same times.

Is there no way you can modify that to wake at the same time or do you work nights?
