Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It took about 7 days for me to go you also need to remember that you will very little in your stomach to make much happen if you were nil by mouth day before and liquids prior I was concerned I hadn't been but my surgeon said there won't be alot to go it will happen when it does constipation was an issue for me the first 3 months stay hydrated.

I am 5 weeks out and have had like 4 BMs it sucks, nothing seems to be doing the trick. Calling surgeon this week to see what i can do?

U need to get back on track. I didn't go for 7 days. I had to double up on laxitives and do a suppository. Trust me call dr if u go over 8 days

I had RNY the same day and the only thing that worked was ducolax suppositories!

Thank you all for the advice[emoji847]I finally got things moving tonight. Seriously hope this isn't an on going problem.

After the day of movement for me , I was feeling fabulous and regular

2/22/17

Milk of magnesia

I had a BM after I was given jello
And popsicle and broth.
But drinking strictly liquid does not do anything.

It's normal after surgery. The way the nurse explained it to me after my gallbladder removal is that it takes awhile for the anesthesia to wear off, so it's like your intestines are still "asleep" and haven't caught up with the rest of your body.

I like colace 2 or 3 at night. Softener, I don't like ducolax it cramps you up. That makes me vomit. My BM are every few days. That's when I see results on the scale. Lol

I am 11 months out and still have to take laxative to go number 2.

I had first BM @ 2 weeks post op. Now I go every 2 days. 4 weeks post op now and down 24 lbs!

Since Day 3 post op, I go daily. Warm liquids like tea or coffee and Benefiber do well for me.

I was sleeved on 04/11/16 and still have issued with constipation following my surgery. Never had an issue prior. Now I use laxatives to help me go.
