Digestive Question

[KiKi27 1]

Hey you guys I'm only 2 weeks out and I don't poop that much (Lol)!!! I know it should get better when I'm able to consume more, but I'm curious how often are you guys pooping? After every meal ? Twice a day ... or like in one week how often do you think your pooping ? I know it's a gross question but I'm just curious.

Hi, Im only 8 days post op, I asked same question to Dr. they told me if my regular was 1 or 2 times a day, my new normal will be once every 2-3 days. Personally, I go every 3 days... ask your Doctor, mine said I can drink low sugar prune juice after week 2.

I go about once every 3 days. If I haven't gone by the third day, I take 1/2 dose of Milk of Magnesia and that always does the trick.

I must be an outlier. For the first three weeks I went 3-4 times a day, but now it's only 1-2 a day. 😉

I go once a day. In the beginning I was having issues with Constipation but now I'm taking Miralax and metamucil. Constipation is the worst [emoji58]

I'm 2 months out and I used to go daily, but my new normal is about 2 to 3 times a week. I am not constipated though. This is just my new "normal" I guess?

Right after surgery, I went maybe twice a week. Now I usually go twice a day! At least once for sure. Myralax helped me in the beginning!

After surgery I went 3-4 times a day. Now I am on puree and noticed it slowed down.
I go 1-2 times a day now.

I will be 6 days out tomorrow from my surgery and my biggest problem is gas. EVERYTHING I eat puts tons of gas on my stomach causing my stomach to constantly rumble and hurt and even makes me feel hungry too. I know crazy huh? I've been living off of gas medicine since my surgery and hoping that once my stomach heals and adjust that this will go away.
