Hi all,

I had my gastric sleeve on Tuesday and have still not had a BM. Is this normal? When should I get concerned?

Hi this is normal because you are taking in only fluids not solids it will return my return after 5 days if surgery by the wY welcome to the losers bench.

Im glad because i haven't had a bm either and i also had my gastric bypass on Tuesday 6/3....I was starting to get worried

I had my surgery 6/4, had my first BM today which caught me by surprise- it just started coming out and I had to walk really fast to the bathroom :-( I think for me one thing that is causing the stomach upset is all of the sugar free products (popsicles, Jello, drinks, etc).

I'm taking milk of magnesia to stay regular until I start taking a "normal" diet

I had my bypass on 04/15 and it's normal not got have a BM for about a week-ish. Take Milk of Magnesia everyday. I take a still softener.

I had my surgery 4/15. For the last 8 weeks I have spent more than my fair share of time in the bathroom. While everything worked, I would not call any of it "normal" BM. Today, 1 day shy of 8 weeks, I finally had what I would a normal BM!!!

Just shows how each journey is so different.
