I am 4 days out from surgery and still feeling it a bit - mostly gas. I haven't had a #2 yet either and got worried so I just drank milk of magnesia - holy yuck!! Hoping it will work through. Tried Miralax yesterday to no avail. Also ate some gas x a little while ago and what a relief finally!!

I was at 227.8 surgery day, went up to 233, which I expected. No change until today, 5 days post op, then I dropped to 218. It takes a while for the IV fluids to work their way out. No BM's yet, but at least there was a change on the scale. More walking, more water and I expect that the bowels will wake up.

Congratulations!!
I am 1 wk post op as well. Sleeved 12/4.
I have not ahad a problem with pain or general feeling bad so much as I was tired. Perhaps from lack of food..lol
I have lost 12 pounds so far which I'm very thank ful for. But now 2 day and nothing!! I thought I would still be seeing a pound a day or something. I'm am really starting to worry!! I'm eating pretty much like you. No carbs unless it's bean soup. But nothing white. Which I can't eat anything yet still on full liquids.
Another thing, that is kinda gross but I don't know who else to ask...
I had diarreah for a couple of days after starting my shakes then nothing...No poops! I'm not hurting but I feel like I need to go and nothing...Maybe this is where my lost pounds are being held up at??
*sigh

There is a help doc in here to tell you how - but I am getting my butt kicked too and I am not technology challenged.
