Five days out..had surgery on Wednesday. .had not had a bowel movement yet. Is it normal? Im on full liquids so not sure if that has anything to do with it...Also very gassy and bloated feeling. I do have a pain on left side sort of burning sharp pain...it has been going on since day of surgery. Doctor said it was normal. ..any advice..ideas and tips welcomed and greatly appreciated

Start using miralax and dulcolax. Use gas x for the gassy and bloating and try to walk walk walk it helps push that stuff out.

My doc told me no laxatives but to take 2 stool softeners and push the fluids.

Thanks. .the pain on left side is somewhat weird as there are no incisions in that specific area.Right side does not hurt at all.And my tummy looks a little deformed. Round on the right side and a little dip on the left :/

The left sided pain is normal that is where they used the biggest instruments to perform the surgery
