G8rgrl72 18 Posted October 6, 2016 So what's the normal /average time frame for you to have your first BM? I haven't gone since Sunday pre op night. I'm not taking any stool softeners yet. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisee68 2,493 Posted October 6, 2016 Generally 5 days but you likely need to be taking stool softeners or Miralax or something. Call your Dr and see what they want you to take. Sent from my HTC One M9 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kittymom 40 Posted October 6, 2016 I didn't think I would need a stool softener but for sure I am taking them to keep things moving, Dr recommend them. Constipation is no fun. Had my surgery 9/26 Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
