Ow long did it take to move your bowls after surgery

I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital until I had some "sort" of BM. It was not solid but it was something. Probably TMI, but you asked. You might try muscle milk or maybe call your Dr.'s office and see if you can/ should take a laxative. There are other food products that are recommended but I can't remember anymore what those are.

within 2 days.. didn't have a problem until 3 weeks post op when I started on mushies.. then NADA! lol My doc told me to take colace and within 2 hours my problem was solved =) It didn't make me cramp or anything, just got things moving smoothly! I take them every other day now to help things along!

10 days... I ended up needing Milk of Magnesia and then Miralax. I took Miralax every other day for about two weeks to just keep going but now I have no problems and have a movement every day. Just remember along with the Protein to try to get in some whole grain to keep things on the move when you are able to eat.

During the liquid phase, other than the bit of diarhea I had in the hospital (very little and yes, tmi) I did not have another BM for several days and that was mostly liquid. I am seven weeks out and on regular food now and still only go either every other day or every third day. I read in my post surgery guide that this is not uncommon.
