I was sleeved 5/29 and have been feeling great. No nausea, vommitting or pain(just gas). I've been getting my 64oz of fluids and 70-80g of protein. A little weak but that's expected with the large decrease in calories. But still no BM, hmm should I have went yet?? Btw I'm 24 looking forward to hearing from you guys out there.

Hey! I had my surgery on may 29th as well! I am 26 and had my first BM yesterday. Felt so accomplished! Lol I, however, am still not able to get the 64oz in per day, what are u drinking that's helping u?!

Mmm also only list 2 lbs since surgery... Somewhat discouraging. I feel like my face and whole body is swollen... Any body relates to this or has any advice?? I've been really good with walking.

I've been drinking isopure zero carb drink. 20 oz of fluids and also a packing 40g of protein and I also drink water, and water with crystal light. The isopure actually isn't bad, it almost tastes like Gatorade but a chalky after taste

I think it was 4 or 5 days post-op before I went. Now I think it was nothing unusual. My system is used to processing several pounds of food a day and suddenly I went 4 days eating virtually nothing. I think there's lots of unused space in my intestines, where food can hide. 5 months out, it's pretty normal for me to go 3 days without going to the bathroom.

My doc said btwn 3-5 days is normal...I was day 4. I have heard that *most* people are no longer everyday BMers post-op. so far I haven't needed any OTC aids, but I know many people do

I am 15 days post op. I can either get in 40 oz of liquid or 40 grams of protein a day, not both. I can barely get in 300 calories. I didn't make a poop for 15 days, 3 of them pre op.

I think you are doing great.

i had this same experience. sounds normal to me too

Don't stress. You are going to use up everything you take in so your BM will be less and possible loose or constipated. I can go days without one and then my body likes to purge itself over the next few days. That's when my weight drop starts again LOL

The calories and carbs are killing me. Jello and broth only have so many calories lol how do y'all get in a good amount if calories in your clear liquid stage?

I got most of my calories from the protein shakes in my liquid stage. But I didn't have a clear liquid stage, just liquids.

I went 12 days with no BM and had to finally take a laxative. Now that I am 4 weeks post op and eating real food I have been going fairly regularly.
