How long till you had a BM post op?

I used to go to the bathroom (#2) at least once a day, usually right when I woke up. I took pride in being very regular. Now post op I use the bathroom about every 3 days. My nut has told me I'm eating about a third of what I use to and that I won't have a bowel movement every day. She said I could take a stool softener with a laxative if I wanted and to take milk of mag if I go longer than my new norm of 3 days.

From the first day of surgery to day 6, every time I had gas, I'd run to the toilet... liquid in = liquid out six to eight times a day... I was getting raw and frankly feared expelling any gas, not knowing if I'd make a mess... FINALLY by day 8, I stopped going. Now on day 10, I'm done with all that and now looking forward to more normal in that dept.
