I'm no help but this post makes me feel better. I'm in the same exact boat. My right side hurts so bad through to my back. I think the gas is out but I haven't pooped since before surgery. I'm swollen and grumpy lol.

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.

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:)

I used MOM in the early days for Constipation.

Wow interesting I hope all goes well I pray I can fight through it without complications.

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.

So you need to take a laxative after the surgery or before thanks for sharing midnightsun

Alright the pain in my tummy is getting real and I'm pretty sure it's just Constipation. I'm coming up on a week of no [emoji90]

How much MOM do I take?? We have smaller tummies so do I take less than the 30mL

you can start there and if it doesn't work take a full dose. You will feel much better for sure. Good luck

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!
