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.

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.

Going home today. Surgery was Thursday and I gelt lousy until last night. Pain not too bad. Looking forward to seeing the weight falling off

Sassy,

Congrats on everything going well... You will even feel better once your home... Just don't forget your protein and fluids so you don't end up back in hospital. Welcome to the losers side

I finally had my first BM this morning!!! I felt so relieved.

I want go to the gym SO bad , but the pain in my left side and the fact that I am having a hard thing getting all my protein too , is cause me to be very tired easily also ... I hope it get better sooner than later :)

I add my protein to my decaf coffee. Tastes much better. Just make sure to mix protein with a little water and mix, before adding. Perfect way to get protein in.

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