COASTALGRL 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Thanks for the info, I just thought that with "just liquids" maybe it was normal. How are you doing? Is your weight loss going as expected? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faithmd 14 Posted August 31, 2007 That's a very common occurance. MOM is an option, or you can pick up some of those baby juices in Apple Prune, they are the perfect size at 4oz and 70 calories each. I started drinking one a day and it helped immensely. Once on mushies, I had a jar of babyfood prunes a day. Again, worked well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeggyBluebird 0 Posted September 23, 2007 I am post op 5 days and had my first BM on the 3rd post op day. I was also told that when you are on liquids, it can take a while longer to get that working well. I have been regular since my first BM. I think it may be too soon to worry about it. Just keep sipping your Water and drinking your liquids and before you know it......it will happen. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
