#2 After Surgery:)

[WinningLoser 10]

Hi,

Just heading into day 3 post -op, did anyone have trouble using the bathroom for a #2 ( I sound like my kids) LOL Anything you took to get you going? I start Protein today, that might help but as of now, have not gone yet.

it could take awhile...remember what goes in comes out.

Solid in solid out! If you aren't eating anything then you aren't gonna go.

At my pre-op class, the nurse said people can not go for as long as 4 or 5 days after surgery just because there isn't anything to come out - remember you'll be on Clear Liquids the day before surgery to a day after - and then just "whole liquids".

I also asked about Constipation, and she laughed and said it's more likely you'd have a problem with the OPPOSITE of constipation.

Give it a few days. Your food intake has been extremely low so there isn't too much to get rid of.

I made a new word to describe going to the bathroom after surgery...pee-oped. I wouldn't worry. You haven't been taking in anything solids so it may not happen for a few days.

My surgery was Thursday, and I had my first bowel movement Sunday morning. It was a combination of solid and liquids (TMI), and then I've had a couple small bouts of diarrhea since then.
