TMI QUESTION️

[Sandra86says 92]

Hey y'all! I'm 5 days post op VSG and was wondering when you guys had your first bowel movement. I haven't gone as of yet... It is normal to not go but I just want to get input! I am recovering wonderfully! Thanks in advance!

I had my surgery last Monday and finally went on Friday. It wasnt much, but I was glad to know I wasnt broken.

I had surgery 3/30 went twice no problem the first week after surgery but since then have only gone once ... With help from a laxative. It's a real pain . Make sure to keep your liquid intake up .

Since I wasn't taking anything in, I wasn't pressing to get anything out. It took about 3-4 days, as I recall. Check with your surgeon in the next few days - just to be sure.

Took me almost 3 weeks to void.

No such thing as TMI in this forum...

And, generally speaking, nothing going in will equate to very little coming out...

As you can see, everybody is different...

But at 5 days out, I'd say you're still in the 'nothing to worry about' place...

I was sleeved on 4/20 and have yet to have a BM.... But we really are taking in liquids so I'm not super concerned yet. I did today start taking the recommended dose of Milk of Magnesia that is in my book only because I believe I have IBS. We shall see what happens.

I am struggling terribly with going. It is sooo painful. I take 2 ducolax and muralax daily and it's not helping. Anyone else going through this?

I was in the pureed foods stage .... and thought I'd try a SF pudding ... not even 20 mins later ... I was wanting someone to shoot me ... the "plop plops" were so bad I was aching inside ...

Needless to say ... I haven't had SF pudding since!!! and I'm now 9 1/2 months out!!!!!
