    I didn't have my first BM until about 8 days post op and it is not uncommon to go more than 5 days post op without a BM, from what others have said.

    Should I be expecting a poop anytime soon ? What products should I buy to give my bowels a little help ?


    Miralax is what my Doctor recommended and it didn't cramp my stomach at all just drink plenty water that day
