I had my Sleeve surgery on 11/25/2020. I am writing to see if anyone has had this pain I had recently. I had a bowl movement almost 10 days after surgery. It was somewhat painful but got through it. The next next weeks movement was more painful. It took 2 days to move all of it from in me. This weeks movement was the worst pain I have dealt with ever in my life!! It was like passing rocks! I have never been so scared about hurting myself, like my suture inside or straining to hard. I drank some Dulcolax and it didn't help. I drank a ton of fluids thinking that it might help, but sadly it did not. I had gas that I couldn't pass because it was even painful. I finally got some of the tiny rocks out and then some liquid poop and it burned horribly. I finally soaked in a warm bath and that not only soothed my booty but it helped with passing gas. I suffered for hours with the pain and not until the next morning did I pass all the "rocks". I have started taking some Miralax powder in my smoothie and shakes, but I would like any other suggestions that would be helpful in the pain. Thanks

I just started my 3rd week post op and now on pureed foods. I was hoping someone might know about eating oatmeal? I was told I can eat Cream of Wheat but I'm not sure about oatmeal. Anyone know?
