[rayarbee 1]

Haven't had a bowel movement yet. I am post op 8 days this is crazy. Don't have too.

I wouldnt worry about that yet. LoL theres not really nothing in your system

That's what I was thinking but my doctor said I should have had one by now. He wants me to take milk of magnesium everyday

[Capt Derel 287]

Btw I dont think I went until around the 14th day if I am not mistaken. Thats when I was able to get in a Couple Protein Shakes

I think that I am one of the lucky ones thats been sleeved. I have no heartburn, Constipation problems, gas problems, pain, or anything else. I would just give it a couple more days. If still nothing take it. My doc asked me if I went on day 10. I chuckled and said "if I ate something I am sure I would have went by now but on straight liquids theres not really nothing to discharge" and she said yeah I can see your point lol

I have been lucky too! Just haven't had a bowel movement. I'm going to get milk of magnesium today

My doctor said milk of magnesium for our newly sleeved stomach. He recommended Miralax, gentler for your system. I use it everyday.

[rayarbee 1]

I will get both. Lol!

I hadn't had one at 8 days out... I was told to take Milk of Magnesia, and I did... and now I ave nonstop diarrea... 4-5 times a day. I say wait! Let your body do it on it's own, because mine clearly didn't want to be rushed. The one dose of that stuff has made me miserable ever since.

I tried miralax and I have the urge but nothing. Lol! Sorry TMI!

Miralax will work. Give it time. Start using it every day for awhile. You can stop it if you

start getting loose stools.

I didn't have a movement until maybe a day or two ago, so like day 9. But that is because I ate some pudding I think and started eating creamed Soups. Since then I haven't had one again. But I don't feel constipated. So I am not going to worry about it unless I get some discomfort. I do pee quite often though!

I finally had a bowel movement. I dumped before it happened. But I had one.

I had the same problem at that point but the milk of magnesia cleared that right up.
