Not having Bowel Movements everyday after sleeve surgery!

I'm 3 weeks post op now and having BMs every two or three days! I'm not eating any fiber and just got cleared to eat peaches cottage cheese and soft scrambled eggs and purée meats! Is any one else not going every day! I'm so use to going everyday?

My surgeon said every 2-3 days is normal. If you're feeling uncomfortable, ask your doc if you can mix in miralax everyday, or if it gets serious, prescribe something for chronic constipation.

PSA: do NOT let your constipation go on longer then 5 days. I went two weeks without a BM and wound up in the hospital after an enema, which then dehydrated me. It was not fun.
