I'm Ashley (22) and 2 days out from surgery. I've lost 5 pounds since I left yesterday. What unique about my journey is I did it with my mother Lynne, who I've convinced to make an account on here. We did it the same day with the same surgeon. I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around when my first bowel movement should be. I feel gurggling, but is that my empty old belly or what?

Im also 2 days post op and o had my first bowel movement after i went for a nice walk today. I also released alot of that post op gas! My Bariatric nurse said its the pain killers causing your bowels to slow down.

Ohhhhhhhhhh ya, I know what you mean now. For a while I was thinking I was going to have an obstruction. Glad that's not the case.

Lol...so did I. I actually called the Dr before my walk! Glad i took that walk
