Bowel movements

Sorry if this is tmi. I'm 4 days post op. I had a bowel movement the morning of the surgery, but nothing since. I have had 2 moments where I felt like I needed to go, but it was just gas that was difficult to pass. How long did it take you guys to have your first bowel movement after surgery ? Thank you.

      I went from going daily to going just twice a week, many things have changed after the surgery all for the better. Sent from my HTC 10 using the BariatricPal App

      5 days after surgery I finally took a durolax it totally helped. Still can't seem to go on my own take a pill every two days. Stool softners didn't work for me. Sent from my iPad using the Bariat

    Yikes me too. Getting worried, 5 days post op. Although I just started on full liquids and soft today. Yogurt was great. It is also the first day I am feeling hungry. Alot. Hope it passes.

    I've been having that hungry feeling too but I've been told that it could be the gas rumbling or acid reflux. I feel like I'm hungry but at the same time I can't stomach the thought of anything that I'm able to have right now. Are you taking stool softeners or anything like that? The all liquid diet should help you go.
