Hi all!

I’ve had a Gastric Sleeve done nearly 5 weeks ago, everything’s going smoothly however I’ve only pooped like twice in the 5 weeks. Is this normal?

I add benefiber to my water. It is flavorless and comes in single serving packets.

you should be having bowel movements 5 weeks out, even if they are soft and little. I am sure you are eating pureed foods which means you should be eliminating them. Make sure you are drinking lots of fluids and getting some fiber which you can do via making home made smoothies. I put spinach in my smoothies with a small portion of fruit

I’m on regular food now! Unfortunately my bowels are not cooperating so I’ve been using an enema once a week! Nearly 8 weeks out now! So yeah! Somethings wrong! Dr says it’s because I’m ingesting so little ?
