I am 35 days Post-Op and have also struggled with Constipation. My surgeon said it was ok to take Miralax and/or Colace. It has helped some although I still go 3-4 days in between. The very beginning I did have a 10 day stretch of no BM...but I think that was largely due to the mostly liquid diet.

Today is Day 12 - Post op... I've heard of stalls happening at weeks 3 & 4 but not week 2. I lost 14 pounds the first week after surgery and only 1 pound during week 2. The good news is that I haven't gained any. Has anybody had this happen before? The stall began when I started the full liquids (yogurt, pudding, soups). Related?

The other thing that concerns me is that it's been 9 days since I've had a BM. Normal for post - op?
