12 days post op no BM since day 6
Should I be worried? I'm still on Clear liquids. I just had a crush scan yesterday and everything was ok. I think I having gas pain or its from constipation? I figured since I've been on clear liquids I wouldn't have an issue. Have not been on pain meds since day 2 in hospital and yesterday when I went to the er. I have this strange pain it's not excruciating but it's like I can feel it traveling through my intestines. Is there a stool softener we can take?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
