How Often Do You Have A Bm?

[KeepingMySoul 5]

I was able to go after the swallow test and again the next day, but nothing in the last 4 days. I don't have any pain, and I am still on liquids.< /p>

[kamrie37 134]

not often enough. I just went and bought some doucolax. I finally went today and it has been 3-4 days.

[Candyman 38]

Three days, and if not I take something to help.

[Star1221 270]

This is normal. And may be normal. I use Miralax. And when I think I really have to go, MOM (milk of magnesia). This is what doc said to use.

It took me 10 days after my surgery to have my first BM. I'm taking miralax every other day and having a BM daily.

I was able to go after my swallow test in the hospital. When you're on Clear Liquids I don't see how you can make a BM daily. Since discharge and being on full liquids (clears plust the cloudy stuff), I have been going ever other day.

Actually I have been having diarrhea. My surgery was 7 days ago. The last couple days are I've had diarrhea. I am only drinking Protein Shakes, Water, oatmeal, and yogurt.

hi there

in the hospital after i had my WLS - i was to be discharged in a couple of days. the second day the nurse asked me if i had a BM? I told her yes, because i was afraid they would keep me in the hospital til i did have a BM.

Teeny tiny little white lie

When i was home all i did was have the awful tasting liquid Protein drink, uggh, and popsicles yum yum; (purple are my favorites) i would probably do the eliptical for 9 hours if i knew that there was a purple popsicle at the end of the rainbow

when you are early post op and just drinking, what could you have a BM from

I didn't have a pureed stage per my NUT, how lucky can one person be

During the soft stage, cottage cheese and stuff, then i was successful with the process

now i usually am FORTUNATE enough to have a BM every other day or so, and twice on Sunday

good luck with that

kathy

PS i haven't said the word BM so many times since i was a kid

13 days out here and 3 times so far.

Since I started on puréed foods I have been having a bm every morning. I only eat 3 oz of some type of puréed meat 3xs a day.

I have always been a healthy pooper but I was not expecting to get back to my regular schedule so soon.

[bigkim 109]

Never! I have to use a laxative once a week. I have tried Fiber, miralax nothing works.

[Butterthebean 8,146]

Once you start eating solid foods again they will come more regularly.

[JDHenin 165]

I find since eating solids I've been more constipated. I certainly would like to go more often. Used to be a twice a day pooper! Now it's a chore to try to go. :/

[Butterthebean 8,146]

I had to add some benefiber to my Protein Shakes. With all this Protein I'm takin in, I wasn't getting near enough Fiber and it made going very tough.
