i am 3 days post op and have had no bowel movement since surgery june 18 should i be concerned?

i had my surgery June 18 so im 3 days post op, i have to say it has not really been bad at all, i was expected to feel worst but everyone is different, my only issue is not being able to get all my required liquids down...im drinking as much as i can though...good luck everyone

Hospital stay is just over night!!

I am offically banded i must say right now the pain is really not bad, im so excited and really to startmy journey

UHC is Unitedhealth care an insurance company

Thanks everyone, i will keep yall posted after surgery

I can hardly believe tomorrow at 9 am i will be getting banded im nervous and happy at the same time!!

Yeh those r the ones ive found to be best so far..day 5 on them though and getting tired of them

Yeh that is very rare im sure, ive had 5 surgeries and has always woke up in the recovery room.

Thanks everyone i dont plan to cheat cause im dedicated but this i MUST say is harder that i thought, even though ive been temped to cheat ive made up my mind to abide by all the rules, thanks for your responses it really makes it better for me....June 18th is my surgery date, keep me in you all prayers!!

I had to sign something with my surgeon that i would not abuse diet pills while being banded, so i would say no, but everyone is different..good luck

Thanks everyone i just have to remind myself of why im doing this, pre op is harder than i thought it would be but im going to hang in there thanks agains guys!!

Has anyone cheated and ate solid food while on pre op diet? I am so hungry and these shakes are horrible, the pre op diet is much harder than i thought it would be please help

I want to be able to wear a belt with my blouse inside my clothes, instead of hiding the fat wearing them on the outside.

Omg this liquid diet is going to be hard ive had three shakes already today and im sick of them already gotta drink two more today, i keep going in the kitchen and wanta eat some food so bad, my first day of 7 days has not started off good surgery is Monday. Pray for me yall...lol

Has anyone takin the the pill form vitamins instead of chewable right after sugery, the b1 vitamins r really small will i be able to take the pill instead of chewable, my multi vitamins or chewable and Omg they are gross!!

I bought b-1 vitamins in pill form and they are small, was anyone able to take pill vitamins first day home from surgery????

I start my pre op diet June 11th protein shakes and liquids only my surgery is June 18th im not nervess about the surgery it self but the after surgery stuff, just hoping i dont have alot of complications, but im ready for it all., good luck everyone

I believe everyone is grown adults on here and r able to make thier on judgements on what they take, ive only read advice giving on here, and if someones advices someone to take anything that adult has to decide themselves if they should r not!
