Teachergal82 42 Posted July 12, 2019 I’m with y’all, but mine is my left side. I was also worried about not pooing, but now I’ve gone three times. I’m starting to worry a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alex76 184 Posted July 12, 2019 I pooped Day 5 after surgery. I walked every day to get rid of gas and pain. I mostly walked around my yard for 10 minutes every hour. I'm on Day 9 and I'm almost starting to feel normal again. It gets better:)Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midnightsun 129 Posted July 13, 2019 I had the sleeve 5 days ago. Was so constipated and belly hurting. Had an icepack on all day. I wish the surgeon would have told me to take the Miralax before i called today. The nurse said the Constipation is usually from pain meds and once they are out of your system and eating food it is better. I would definately try some if you didnt already. I am not really hungry. Constantly sipping on Protein Shakes or clear Protein, gatorade, broth. Caffeine free tea, or Jello and sf popsicles. I also froze some protein shakes in little containers to make it easier to get down. Seems to help. 1 1 mjlopez913 and KarenLR75 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrunda webb 13 Posted July 13, 2019 So you need to take a laxative after the surgery or before thanks for sharing midnightsun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will feel much better for sure. Good luck 1 mjlopez913 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgrace09 4 Posted July 15, 2019 I took a laxative before surgery to ensure everything was cleaned out. I finally pooped 8 days post OP and it was after 2 days of taking MOM plus 2 dulcolax, but now I poop daily. Nurse Practitioner said it was probably due to me starting Vitamins too soon. Hope this helps! You're certainly NOT alone!Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using BariatricPal mobile app 1 mjlopez913 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
