Bowel Movements?

I am 18 days post op and had one bowel movement about 5 days after surgery and then 3 more. I havent had another in about a week. I feel good but was wondering if this is normal?

Amy, It depends on what you are eating. If you are still on liquids & soft foods, and you are not feeling any kind of abdominal pain like constipation, then I wouldn't be concerned. It will take longer for enough "stuff" to build up for you to have regular bowel movements. I am 28 days post-op and have only been back to "normal" in the past week or so. Good luck Amanda
