Bowel movements

[lainafoust 10]

Well I know surgery messes with everything but I find my bowel movements very off. I had surgery a month ago and I almost never have bowel movements. I've only have had maybe about 4 or 5 since surgery. I'm not constipated but they have me prescription for Constipation that I haven't taken once, should I try them and see what happens because I know it's not healthy if I don't have movements.

surgery: April 28th~~~current weight loss 20 pounds

I take milk of magnesia if I haven't had once for more than 2 days.

I have the exact opposite problem! So many liquids!

Lainafoust, I am in exactly the same place as you. Very irregular b.ms, and very few. I was sleeved June 4, 2018 and I might have one good crap per week.....maybe. I will try the milk of magnesia trick as mentioned in previous post.
Good luck! 😊

I had the RNY on the 18th and I've only had one piece of a bm. I had tried milk of mag but it's so nasty I couldn't keep it down. The Dr. told me to take stool softeners and mineral oil also a fleet enema and still only a little came out. I was starting to think that they caused a blockage.

Make sure you are getting right amount of Fiber with the amount of food you are eating..

.

To make up for Fiber I don't get in food, my favorite way is Gummy fiber tablets. Yeah, some sugar in them, but far better than any other fiber supplement I every tried.
