It's been 1 week now and I haven't had a BM! I've taken MOM for the past 2 days plus a stool softener and nothing yet! I was pretty regular up until this. I'm 3.5 weeks postop. I don't feel constipated or bloated. And I hate taking the MOM and stool softener though because they make me almost vomit! Yuck! I don't know what to do. I have some Fiber that I could add to a shake, but per my NUT, I'm trying to get my Protein from my food and not shakes now. I guess if nothing happens soon I'll have to get an enima.

Question for anyone doing Protein Shakes... Do you count them toward your total liquid for the day? My NUT told me no and since every Doc is different was just wondering

I eat sugar free Jello pudding cup and it does the trick. I eat once week and that triggers my bm. Try that.

A liquid is a liquid in my opinion. I would get as much as you can.

Oh yeah!!! Coffee! Lol. That used to make me regular.

I haven't tried coffee yet. I was a regular coffee drinker pre-sleeve but I just haven't had a taste for it. But I think I'll have to try this weekend!

I'm also going to try some fiber gummies. Hopefully that will help!

I haven't tried coffee either. I take a laxative daily and that has helped.
