You should call your doctor's office about this. They can help you, I'm sure. Are you drinking enough liquids? Would you be allowed to have prune juice? May if you diluted it with Water.< /p>

Prune juice is a great natural way of moving things along, or Miralax or something like that .. check with doctors office to see what they recommend.

I had surgery on Mon 2 Jul and its was 8 days before a BM. Even when it happened, it was rather uneventful!

I've been on liquids only since surgery and despite adding some Benefibre to Protein shakes, juice and Soup, i still had no luck.

I spoke to the surgeon at day 7, as well as a mum who is nurse, and both noted with such little fibre in the diet it was going to be difficult. Both recommended keeping up the Water and walking which can help bowel movements. Fortunately i didnt have any specific pain from it (although still uncomfortable post surgery, it was hard to pinpoint if that was the problem).

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
