Hello everyone!!! I need your advice. My surgery was on Oct. 10 and I have not had a bowel movement yet. I'm on clear liquid only diet right now until Monday. Is this normal to not have a bm for so long? Should I wait a little longer or should I go ahead and just call the doctor? I'm sorry if this is a little personal but I'm not sure if I should be worried yet or not.

You havent had food so you shouldnt really expect to have much of a BM my surgery was on the 8th and it's very little and like Water infact today was the first time that is had some consistancty (sorry for the TMI) but what you put in is what u get our but my surgeon said we could take milk of mag if needed

Ok so I know that I am crazy but yesterday I called the scheduler for surgery was really hoping to get my date she promised to call e back but did not. I know I am suppose to e patient, but to ave something so close that I can reach out and almost touch it is hard to wait. I was hoping that the squeaky wheel would get results but I was so wrong. So I am still waiting to find out my surgery date and it is driving me nuts

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
