Yessss! My surgery is Nov. 9th in a little more than 2 weeks also, Nov. 9th is my sons birthday . But due to payroll i chose that date. The surgeons office told me since i have a low bmi i only need to do clear liquids 10 days but i am choosing to do the 14 days. Wish me luck !

I had my surgery Nov9th. Did anyones surgeon say anything about bowell movements or what were can take to have one?

I was supposed to do a full week in clear liquids, but I have had a couple of protein shakes and some yummy tomato soup. The protein is not my sleeve's friend yet. Lots of broth and room temp water.

My surgery was Nov 9th in Omaha, NE. Things have been going fairly well. My pain has skyrocketed in the last 2 days though. I am also sweating profusely everytime I sleep. Is that normal? I'm trying very hard to get my protien and clear liquids in. Popcicles are my friend every time I have to take pain meds. Anyone else experiencing these things? And my tummy is super bruised on my left side. Icing it to try lower the swelling.

I would definitely call your surgeon. May just be several things happening, better safe than sorry. Praying for you!! Keep in touch!!

I don't have anything in my paperwork. Seen several things on the forums. The pain meds work against you in that Dept. I would call ask because some of the laxatives etc are hard on your stomach. I think the protein shake had the opposite reaction on me. :/ But IDK...

My doc said no less than every 3 days. Pain killers will mess with that, so I only take those if I really need them. Take sugar free milk of magnesia to help. I didn't have a bm for a few days after surgery. The MoM broke the seal.

• @queencity, where are you having surgery? Who is your surgeon?My surgery is 11/09 at CMC--Mercy with Dr Kuwada from Carolina Weight Management.

How did your surgery go with Dr. Voellinger? He is doing my surgery Monday the 14th at Presbyterian Medical Center.
