....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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
