I am 4 days post op. when did everyone start to have bowl movement? I get the urge to go but nothing happens. I just want it over with because I think it will make me feel better

Try some apple juice mixed with water. It seemed to help me. =)

I am still on the juice part of the diet and I've drank nothing but apple juice and cranberry but nothing

I took some Milk of Magnesia (my doctor recommended it). It sure helped!

There's really nothing there to poop out yet. You are taking in such small amounts of food. I didn't have a poop for about 2 weeks and then it was nothing. You are doing just fine. Some people take Miralax to help them go but it can take up to 2 days.

Did you take it this close to your surgery? I don't know if that is safe so early on and with it being a holiday weekend I can't call till Tuesday

Sleeved on the 28th, Miralax on the 30th, success today but still would not have worried--passing gas meant everything was 'open for business'!

Bubles: I would not take anything right now. I wouldn't even be thinking about it actually. Relax and have a wonderful weekend, you've earned it.

You are fine. At this stage you are only putting in liquids. I didn't poop for over a week. Remember, it has to go in to come out. Relax. You will only irritate your bowels if you put a lot of stuff in that doesn't need to be there. K

I was sleeved on the 28th and was focusing on getting gas out, when I had an episode of explosive diarrhea with gas passage. I thought something was wrong, since everyone complains of constipation. I think it was the skim milk I mixed with my protein shake. Good Luck!

I would almost welcome diarrhea to flush everything out. My stomach feels like I drank a bottle of acid!

I didn't go until day 3. I'm going once a day now (I'm on day 5). But without solid food I don't expect much.
