6 days post-op

Hello everyone I am officially a loser. I think I am dumping though. today I started on full liquids. I mixed my protein with some s/f pudding and I had to go to the bathroom all night. with loss bowels. So is this dumping. Or is my stomach not tolerating the pudding or the protein. Unsure. Anyway I feel really good after surgery. I'm still sore where my incisions are at but that is to be expected. I have been walking alot.

Pauline, I think dumping is when you get extreme pain in your stomach, sweats etc. I had a couple days of what you are describing...just like liquid, and pudding in...goes thru a lot faster Patti

Pauline - I'm almost jealous. I am 7 days out and I've only "went no.2" once!! I started s.f. vanilla pudding today to, but I didn't add protein yet. Did you use skim milk??? You could be lactose intollerant after WLS. My incision are tender but not painful. As soon as I get rid of the drain (tomorrow) I think I'll feel a whole lot better!! Congrats on a sucessful surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had serious lose poops for about a week after surgery. It got the point that I was scared, I called the doctor and he said it was normal. Now things are the opposite, I don't get it. Good luck and hang in there. Melissa 286/255/?

Hello. I am 3 days post op and I haven't had a bowel movement yet. I called my doctors office to see if that was normal,but I haven't received a call back yet. How long does it take for the bowel to wake up?
