K sorry to bring this up buuut.... Hows the bowel movements going?? Im 5 days post op and no Constipation. And i know since its mainly liquids in itll be liquids out. But it just feels weird? Almost have to concentrate to let anything out. Very gassy too. Hard to explain sorry. Anyone else?? Its probably my most annoying thing im dealing with.

Yep. No movement here since Thursday (date of surgery). I'm pretty sure it's normal though

I've had nooo bowel moments. I was sleeved the 26th. I'm starting to get worried. I have been super bloated and have some gas that just doesn't want to come out!!

Mine are just dirty liquid for lack of better wording :) but i really have to concentrate and push to have anything come out.

Have you tried prune juice or anything to get things going?

Mine are the same. Liquid mostly, and until yesterday, frequent. Also, decent amounts of gas.

No bm's here. Lots of gas but even that i have trouble passing. It just rumble around, tries to sneak out, then... drumroll please....back up the intestine it goes! Disappointing. Well I had an uterine ablation in June which was nowhere near as invasive and had no bm for 5 days after. And I was EATING. Im not to worried this early out but Im going to call my surgeon tomorrow just to check. Tomorrow will be 5 days post op.

I'm not going to lie I was close. With Easter dinner it was one of the hardest things to deal with. BUT I conquered, removed myself from the situation and had some Water and some ice pops!!! THANK GOD FOR ICE POPS!!!!! I feel right now we really don't have any room for error and we have to be as strong as can be in the beginning!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
