There is a couple of things you can look at first what what was you like pria to surgery and if you are on fluids your pooping can be a lot slower. If you are worried try to have a chat with your Doctor or Dietitian

Constipation is a common problem after weight loss surgery. My doctor talked about this yesterday. Was told that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Prevention:

Drink 60+ ounce of fluids per day!

Fiber supplements...fiber gummies, Benefiber, Wheat germ

4oz of apple or prune juice with 4oz of water.

Probiotics like Greek Activia Yogurt

1 Tablespoon Allbran, 1 Tablespoon applesauce, 1 Tablespoon prune juice. Combine ingredients and refrigerate over night. Take 3 Tablespoons and repeat daily as necessary.

Rescue:

Milk of Magnesia

Miralax

Enema

Suppositories

Stool softener (Colace)

All of this is from my doctor...you should check with YOUR OWN doctor before trying these....just putting them out there as things you could ask about.

Good luck, and feel better:)
