Ive been passing plenty of gas but nothing mre lol. Ive even tried enamas twice. I dont see my doc til the 30th for my first check up

So I'm one week post op and I really haven't had a bowel movement. I sat on the toilet on Monday but nothing really (sorry for the TMI). So my question is has anyone else had this issue. I figured that I didn't really have to go because I've been only drinking liquids....

I'm still on liquids and I had the same problem. I finally went a few days ago (I'm 11 days post op). the smell was god awful, too--nothing like a normal BM.

For those of you who are on soft foods, how much are you able to eat at once. I can't really tell when I'm full. I've been able to eat about half a cup of food at each sitting.

I was doing good with the bm part but haven't gone since Tuesday night now. So maybe its the beef i had its the only thing I've eaten different. If nothing by tonight then i will get some mom.

They didnt give me limits

[Lou:) 110]

I wasn't given limits other than a sample menu. Each meal on true sample menu is 4-5oz.

I was told to take 30mins to an hour to eat... I'm just wondering if I'm eating too much...

[Nel 189]

I was told 30-1 hour. Also, your pouch will mature over time to 4-8 oz. I would think that whatever you can eat *in moderation* is fine. I don't know, you might consult your nut though.

Just had my surgery 3 days ago & today's my first day home. I feel like crap. I'm nauseous & everything tastes gross - even Water. To say I'm regretting this would be an understatement.

It gets better. You were just cut open and had your insides changed and rearranged. I was sure I'd screwed up my life completely until about day 8. Oh, and I cried a LOT. You might add some kind of flavor to your water...like Mio.

And even though I knew my chances during the first few weeks of having "buyers remorse" were really high, like 100%, it didn't make it any better when it happened.

Does anyone else have issues with eggs? It's THE ONLY thing that's given me any issues. Well, a few of my Protein Shakes have made me nauseous...but the egg. I felt like I was going to die and it was soft scrambled? I don't even have issues with milk. Or fatty cheese. Just eggs.
