A few questions/comments

1: I'm 7 days post op and no BM. Should I be concerned?

2: What "Labs" should I have me regular doc run?

3: I cannot seems to drink more than 16oz of Water a day- I'll start using a timer:)

Thanks AS ALWAYS!

I don't think I went to the bathroom until about day 7 or 8. Even then, it wasn't much. (Sorry TMI)

Not sure on labs.

At first, I could hardly take any Water also. It gets better. I was sleeved 1/25 and I am having no issues even gulping Water now. Take as much as you can in a day, but also know it does get better!

Liquids in you're gonna get liquids out. You aren't eating anything to make enough waste material for you to go to the bathroom. It'll happen, and then you'll want it to stop.

My surgeon pulled a Chem 20 (liver, kidney, pancreas and other primary organ enzyme, functions) Vit D and Vitamin D3, Thyroid T3, T4, TSH, Folic Acid/B12/B6, CBC with Diff, Cholesterol, Triglycerides.

On the drinking Water thing, try drinking 2ounces every 15 minutes. If you can manage that, you'll get in 8 ounces an hours. If you're awake for at least 8 hours a day, you'll get in your 64 ounces. I know it seems like a daunting task, but you do not want to become dehydrated.
