Embarassing Question- When Do I Go #2 Again?!



Recommended Posts

Omg, so embarassing, but I haven't had a bowel movement since Aug1 (my surgery date). Mind u, & not to be gross, but that bowel movement lasted 20hrs! & all I've had to eat is liquids since. But when do I start to get nervous? Is this normal? Or should I do something about it? I'm not even taking Iron yet, cuz I knew I might be sensitive. & there is Fiber in some I'd my shakes..

If you are not putting anything in, there is nothing to come out. Once you have food with substance, you will go within a day or two.

Are you experiencing any flatulence? If yes, then you're probably fine. If absolutely nothing is happening down there I'd seriously consider consulting your physician.

I was exactly like Nathalie, 6 days post-op, not much and it has been pretty much liquid since then.

I had my 1st the very next day after surgery. I have plenty of gas and I hate it. everytime I drink my Protein or something cold it gets worse. This is the the worse and my only complaint thus far since getting sleeved.

The things we took forgranted in the past!!! Just think, it's the small things in life that can make us smile! We are happy just to be passing gas!!! I love this site! There's always something said that will make me smile or laugh each day!!! I'm am cracking up laughing, OMG!!! Please, I'm not making light of the question asked, because that was my #1 question at my 1st post-op visit yesterday. The answers today are the same my doctor told me yesterday! Wish we could put all this gas in our gas tanks, talk about a natural, low cost energy source! Have a great day guys:)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
