I had multiple BM's in the hospital. You should be having them by now for sure. Even if it is liquid..

This is a problem I have suffered with the whole time. Seriously find something to help work it lose or it will hurt like a mother!!! I was drinking a tea called Smooth Move it help for awhile. Now I take a stool softener every other day and look for Fiber anyway I can get it!!!

I'm 5 months out and still have issues. Stool softeners every other day is how I'm dealing with it. If not it could be weeks.

My 1st was 1 week post op. I now have one once a week....maybe 2x...and it isn't much. Sometimes I feel like I need to but when I have tried MOM I still didn't get much of a result. I guess there just isn't a lot there. Lol
