By the way I haven't taken the medicine yet. I thought I should tonight.

The nurse suggested some to me I bought but haven't taken it...but I know this is weird...if we are not eating anything..and only doing liquids/ broth what's gonna come out?

only liquid going in is only liquid coming out for me! I was sleeved on 9-6 and I finally had a "bm" yesterday. One of the best pieces of advice I got from a friend is NEVER trust a fart. I am very careful about that and thankful for the advice!!

Good luck. Everyone is different and it will happen sooner or later :)

Yogurt protein shakes water applesauce. I'm doing fine I feel I could to more but I'm trying to stay with what they say until I go to the Dr. Next week. I'm down 12lbs feel ok would love to work out but am afraid to.

It was a week and 5 days before my first post op bm. Try a good fiber supplement :)

It was quite a bit of time before I had a BM. Well over a week and I was worring about it also. I finally took Miralax and nothing for like 2 days. :)

i would get worried if you have not had a BM before this weekend hits. Stool softener should help. Anesthesia can cause constipation after surgery. If no BM by this weekend than i would take miralax and call you doctors office

I had surgery 9/4, and starting 9/6 I've had diarrhea (sorry tmi!!) daily. liquid in, liquid out! :-)

It was 2 wks before i had my first bm....and that was with the help of a stool softener (Senokot). Everyone's body is different....it will happen soon enough.
