Let's talk crap...

So what's the normal /average time frame for you to have your first BM? I haven't gone since Sunday pre op night. I'm not taking any stool softeners yet.

      Generally 5 days but you likely need to be taking stool softeners or Miralax or something. Call your Dr and see what they want you to take. Sent from my HTC One M9 using the BariatricPal App
