4 Days Post-Op & Still Haven't Gone "poo!"

[Felicity549 47]

Sorry for tmi. Did anybody else take this long? I was sleeved on Friday 4/20.

I think since we haven't had any food in our bellies for a while, it's quite normal. I was sleeved last Wednesday and it was Sunday before that happened for me. The stool softner they sent me home with seemed to help.

It's normal. You are on liquids.< /p>

I think it's normal too but ask your dr. Mine suggested mirolax, but IDK if that's too soon for you yet or not.

I had mine on the 12th...didn't poo until the 16th and that wasn't much. Then again on the 17th. Both were very loose. However, since then I haven't gone poo at all. It's been 8 days. I called my doctor and they told me to take some Miralax which I did today. Hope it helps. I am sure you will go soon.

Oh yes, completely normal. I was 5 days out before...

[JDHenin 165]

Yes. Very normal. No food in you just the liquids. Take my advice, never trust a fart!!! Lol. Seriously because whe you finally do go, it's probably gonna be diarrhea. But it will get better.

Pain meds can make you constipated so you might want to see about taking a stool softener. My first time going after surgery was awful!

Alovio, that is freaky but awesome! We started our lives on the same day and now our new lives again on the same day. Super super cool. Stay in touch! How are you doing?

It was 8 days before I went, and then I had to have some Milk of Mag (doctor approved). Everything is slow tho.
