Hello. I am 4 days post-op and i am still only able to take in small amounts of liquid. Which i am ok with. My out put equals my in take but the instructions I received from my doctor says I should use laxatives if I don't have a bowel movement by day 5. My question is should I? If I'm only takeing in liquids should I even need to have a BM right now? What do you think?

I think you should follow you're doc's advice....it will keep you much more comfortable.....protein shakes tend to want to stay with us for longer than they're welcome.....so to speak... :-)
