Hey I was sleeved April 17 And I have the same problem, but it's normal because we are lacking fiber in our diet!! My doctor prescribed me stool softners and they seem to work!!

There are tons of really good posts here about bowel movements - Extremely informative. Do a search and you'll find all you need! Sounds like you are both on track - good luck!

I just started introducing solid food and omg I an having a problem..... Lol

I'm 4 days out of surgery and have had 2 big bowel movements, that is making me scared because I'm not eating solid foods yet. I'm still on liquids!

I was also sleeved on April 16. I have had the same issue. My doctor told me to use milk of mylanta twice a week to keep me regular for a while until I am able to get more fiber my system. It is horrible tasting but it helps. And it is not as painful as stool softners. Stool softners make me cramp and it is super painful.
