sorry about the insensitive subject but I would like to know how you handled this problem. I am 5 days post op and nothing yet - don't want to let it get out of hand!

I have tried stool softners but don't seem to be working - I melted them in cream of rice.

Thanks for any ideas!:help:

dont worry it will come , I went ages and not to sound nasty but when it did come it was fine:cool:, Remeber you are not eating much so its proberly waiting until you have enough!!!!:bounce:

I think I went 1 week and then it came........:whoo:

And then nothing for a few more days............... and then it came.:whoo:

once I started to eat more it was fine.

you are fine dont worry it will come. you dont want to give yourselve the runs!!!

just looked at your pics of your progress you are doing really well

I was banded 7/28 so 4 days post op & was having "bowell issues" I tried the Gerbers apple & prune juice, worked like a charm!!! I think it was Faithmds suggestions! The juice is also very good & will add it to my diet.

Thanks

I use 1/2 cup of prune juice 3x's a day....worked for me.

My dr recommended Milk of Magnesia to me, it worked wonderful. A word to the wize take it easy don't take a lot. Don't ask me how I know this! lol

I was only 4 days out of surgery so its ok to use.

Thanks Jachut.

I need some Aussie products as I having a hard time on the Fluid diet in day 4. Miso Soup is really not that nourishing as I am feleing a little weak & tired. So I am going out tomorrow to by WEETBIX NOT wheatabix please all say it right as George Greagan may have a fit (Sorry to all who dont know the Aussie ad). Some heinz baby food will be good.

And to all about Vegimite well my description would probably be the taste of a liquid Guiness. Full of lovely Vitamins.:hungry:

Cheers Jo
