I am almost 2 weeks post op. I had my first bm a few days ago, but nothing since then. Been on pureed foods since 3 days post op. Should I be concerned about this? Is there anything I can take to help it along?

My surgeon sent me home with a prescription for Colace twice per day. A lot of people on here use Miralax and a hot tea called Smooth Move. You might check with your doc just to double check what they recommend.

I got it from my grocery store. It's called Harris Teeter, but some people said they have it at Walmart also.

My back and drain site on the right is what hurts me as well. I had surgery on 2/14 and the drain was pulled on 2/22 (very painful). I have had 4 other drains on surgery and nothing like this one. The incision is still painful and I get like stinging sensations.

Stinging is nerves that were cut and healing.....my drain hurt when they pulled it too. Nurse told me it was deep,

Surgery date: 2/14

Lost 35 pounds already! !! Feeling really good. I just get tired easy. I'm lucky to get 500 calories a day. So I run out of steam quick.

I add my Protein to my Decaf coffee. Tastes much better. Just make sure to mix protein with a little Water and mix' date=' before adding. Perfect way to get protein in.[/quote']

That's a great idea. It would act as sweetener and Creamer right?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
