Hi Sandy057, I also had bad constipation at two weeks. I'll echo Michelle'sgarden and suggest to drink more water and move around. Even now at almost 7 weeks out I have a bowel movement twice a week. This is probably our new normal now
It will get better once you start phasing in solid food (I assume you're still on liquid diet - I had the opposite effect during that phase!)

Hi! My sleeve operation is due 8/9/17. I'm worried about the pre-op diet - even though I haven't yet been given any formal information on it. I know it's probably best to move to a liquid diet asap prior to op to try to limit the shock to the system! I'm hoping to start this the beginning of August so that I get a good 5 weeks in. Anyone else managed this?

Hi Silkysocks! I thought I was supposed to be on a liquid diet 1 week prior to my surgery (I even posted about it here) - nope! My doctor called and said they only require a low-carb diet and no food after midnight the morning before surgery. I thought liquids were going to be *hell* after surgery but for me since I didn't prepare myself or my body but I didn't crave food at all. In fact, I'm on a full liquid diet right now which means strained, thinned creamy soups but I'm still drinking completely clear liquid! I just don't have a taste for anything. Hope everything goes well and don't be afraid to reach out if you need something.
