I don't mean to gross anyone, but how soon did you poop? I haven't poop got 3 days and I'm taking the stool softners but nothing happening.

Your "poop"schedule will be different every week for a while. Most of us have experienced the omg out of no where diarrhea too! Inconvenient at best!!! But don't expect to be like before surgery- most of what you will (read SHOULD) be eating down the road will actually be used by your body so your waste volume will decrease.

I have what I call "poop days". They can be as far apart as 5-6 days. I'm not constipated, in pain, or bloated. The stool just takes a while longer to "gather up" and work its way down the pike lol.

So don't sweat the poop- it will come!!!!

@@rimmarrufo I had the RnY and it was 7 days before I pooped, I had been adding the stool softener powder to my water and drinking for two days prior! This was just yesterday, nothing today yet.

I went home on post-op day 1. I was instructed to take MOM if no poop w/in 2 more days. I did, & boy did that work!

I did 5 days later and it hurt so bad had me in tears. Now I go every other day or so and it smells so bad not sure why since I'm eating a lot cleaner than before

It smells bad if you haven't gone to the toilet in a couple of days because all that bacteria is sitting there.. (Sorry)

Don't let it get to the point where you are suffering everyday. I had to experiment plenty before things got back to normal.

I can and I will.

After surgery it took me about a week but as soon as I started getting Protein in started.

Today is one week out of surgery and I did mirlax yesterday and today and finally today! I hadn't gone 3 days prior to surgery though!

I am post op day 6. I was told to melt colace in Water. Remove she'll and squeeze juice in a bit of water. It burned for hours after. Tonight I bought sf mom. Nasty but hoping it works!

I had diarrhea 1 day post op and now 5 days post op had a great bowel movement. I think everyone is different I have been pretty regular all my life.

7 days post op. Regular ever since.

7 days post op but a tiny tiny laughable amount. So funny that this thread is here I was wondering myself how other were

I got nervous too because i keep getting constipated but the docs told me to take Milk of Magnesia and it did the trick. I am almost 2 weeks post and still aren't regular entirely. But thats something that you'll definitely want to ask the doc about.

Can being constipated hurt where they create the new intestine in the new stomach? I am so scared of this!

I'm 8 days out and have been so constipated! I've been taking a chewable probiotic since day 2 and colace for 5 days. Dr. Recommended an enima which helped get out a few hard pebbles, and have only gone one other time of the same. I'm feeling so bloated and have only lost 4 lbs
