When Did You Have A Bm Post Op?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Monday and on Wednesday my doc told me that every day I don't have a bm for the next few I need to take a suppository in order to keep my bowels working! It isn't fun but it works!!

Beware...I had a very nasty experience with compaction about 2 weeks out! It was like giving birth...so do yourself a favor and start taking a stool softener and some Fiber daily! Good luck! :blink:

I can relate to this.my bowels was contracting on its own.like trying to get rid of it all.yuk disgusting lol

10 days after surgery. And going into week seven, only one more time since surgery until I took matters into my own hands and took several laxatives in order to get some results.

No problem guess I'm lucky had bm day after surgery . I always did what the nurses said walk walk walk and will move on out and it worked for me.

I'm almost 3 months out and I still haven't had a solid nor an I regular, the surgeon said its not al since we eat so little. If they aren't worried about it then I guess I'm not!!!

I'm running out to get something now! I was fine after surgery, but since I've been on puree I'm having the hardest time going and this afternoon my back started to bother me. I think fiber and/or softener will do the trick. I wonder if I'm allowed prune juice-unsweetened, maybe. I'm trying to eat veggies but when your entire meal is 1/4 cup-it's hard to get any quantity in with most of it being Protein.< /p>

So actually I manged to have a BM this evening. It was crazy awesome. Of course it was liquid....I liken it to silt. It was strange but lovely all at the same time. I made a joke to my family that I've never been so excited to have a BM in my life and I felt like a brand new person lol :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
