even after surgery....I'm a year and a half out..and bm are irregular...I sometimes only go once or twice if I'm lucky a week. My doctor states it is normal. Less food in..less food out. Every now and then I need a laxative to get rid of the constipation if I feel really backed up.

I drank the MoM and went that same day 4 days post op

I think I have all of ya beat!!! I was banded on the 28th of July and I made sure to drink a cup of coffee the day before to make sure I pooped before the big day!! Well my friends, I didn't go for ELEVEN DAYS!!!!! I didn't have pressure to go to the bathroom but I did have a lot of gas pains from the waist up so I didn't coralate the two! I finally drank 4oz of coffee and a hour a later I went, it was great haha!!! The gas moved its' way out shortly after that. I also noticed that I will only go about every three days now (on pureed foods) but during those three days I won't lose weight then after I poop I lose 2-3 lbs so I look forward to it now! Good Luck!!
