Has anyone had bowel issues after gastric sleeve surgery?

I was just sleeved on 10/24 and it took almost 7 days for my 1st BM. It was not at all pleasant. It was very difficult and took awhile. Even though I did pretty good getting fliuds in it was hard. Anyhow I talked to my Dr. the other day at my 1 week checkup and was advised to use a stool softner along with benefiber and or miralax. I did pick up colace and benefiber at the store but I only used them that day. The colace being another pill to take along with my other scripts it just too much for me right now. So I think I'll head back out and grab yhe miralax. Btw, I have gone daily since that first time but the poop really reminds me of a babys first in terms of look and texture. Sorry if that was TMI

smoothie move tea. Probiotics. Ground flax seed in your shake. (If your NUT approves!)

Its been a nightmare of pain in that department even though I am taking dolcolax, miralax and a bit of coffee in mornings.

I had a bad night on Tuesday night and thought I was gonna pass out. My doctor said not to take anything other that miralax and milk of mag. He told me to double up for the next few days. Been okay since.

Contipation isn't nice. I try to add broccoli normandy to my meal at least once a day. Popcorn is really high in Fiber to. U can have but just a little. I pop my own and eat solo no butter. I eat it for regularity not for snack. If u eat too much u will be in trouble .
