2 weeks post op

Good Afternoon!

I'm almost two weeks post op and on the 4 shakes a day/64 oz of sugar free fluids phase. How often should I be having bowel movements?

Depends on your intake and diet plan. Since I'm just shy of two weeks myself on on a purred diet and allowed meats etc.

Had a loo visit today and that was my first one in a week but remember if you aren't eating anything it could all be liquid.

We are given a stool softner to take every two days and that helps us - whatever you do - don't stress too much.

I was told daily at least one. I've had to increase my miralax cuz I'll go a few days without a bowel. Maybe if you take that it will help. Good luck
