Surgery was Monday and I've still not had a bowel movement. I haven't been able to eat much so it doesn't really concern me but I'm

Wondering how long it usually takes. When should I become concerned?

Surgery was Monday (11/11) I started passing gas two days after surgery (thank goodness!!!). My first BM was Thursday morning and was a near-normal one, which surprised me. Gas pains eased greatly after that.

I think gas is my biggest enemy right now causing the nausea. Looking forward to it passing. Gas Meds aren't helping.

I followed first 4 days without with two of diarrhea and then regular.

GAS... Is this GI cas or the Gas after surgery. They ARE different!

Sounds about right...I was 4 days out before my first BM and they were far from solid for next two weeks.....hang in there.

it was exactly one week before my first bm. And it was a tear jerker!

Brandy we have a bunch of 11th sleevers in our secret Nov. FB group if you want to join and poll them... it's actually something that's been already discussed in the room...

My friend had surgery and wasn't able to have a bowel movement for a while and then when it came time she pushed too hard and had to have hemmiroid (sp) surgery. She advised me to put mirolax in everything I drink to avoid what she went through. But if you use too much and aren't getting your liquids in, it could stop you up too. So I recommend two 8 ounce glasses of water with mirolax a day.

I still haven't been able to stomach too much liquid so it's not really a big surprise that I'm not having any BM. My surgery was Mon and everything is still pretty much gagging me. Even water at this point seems to bubble back up.

I had my surgery on a Monday, had by Friay still hadn't had a BM. I mentioned to my surgeon's NP when she called to check up on me and she told me to take a dose of milk of magnesia, which I did that afternoon. A few hours later I was back in business. A bit more than I wanted at first, but the regular by the next day.

It took me about a week after surgery, and I don't think that would have even happened if I hadn't pureed some beans and ate 2 spoonfuls. I also made sure to have more water than I had been getting. That was all it took!
