    I had my bypass on November 12th. I lost 10 lbs on the 1week prep diet and 12 lbs since surgery for a total of 22 lb loss. I had a total of 8 incisions with two drains put in...not fun. I'm getting stronger each day but I have one problem...I haven't had a bowel movement since the night before surgery..ELEVEN DAYS!!! My back is hurting a bunch today. I'm taking Mirolax and a stool softener, nothing yet. Any suggestions???

      Hi Nancy,

       

      If it has been that long you may need to get a couple fleets enemas and use them to get things moving so to say. I did Miralax 2 times day for a few weeks. You might want to talk to your PCP really soon, you don't want to get impacted.
