....there I said it. I am one week post-op tomorrow. I have had gas but no BM yet and I am a little concerned. What was your experience?? I know that I have not had anything but liquids but I feel like something should be happening with the Protein and full liquids that I am consuming?

Oh no!! Did your surgeon talk to u about adding some miralax to your liquids once a day? I would recomend it to you, because you are going to have a very hard time when you have one.....I started using it before my surgery but with everything going on post op i stopped taking it... and i regreted it. Good luck!!

Its actually due to al the Protein you are taking and pain meds, yes call because after 1 whole week its just going to be very painful, and keep taking it on and off like 2-3 times a week to soften it.

My surgeon says to never go more than 4 days without a BM. He recommends Benefiber. You add it to your Water and can't even tell it's there. It helps with constipation and diarrhea. He also recommend Milk of Magnesia. Every surgeon is different.

Thanks for posting this question and info!! I'm 6 days out and no BM for me... drinking miralax now!. Stomach has been a little tight for last day or so
