So, I had my 1st post-op check.  Dr sent me to ER to have a CT scan done and make sure all is ok. Everything is fine - just some constipation (TMI, sorry!!!).  Still feel like death warmed over but when I saw the 15 pound weight loss today it helped some :)  Dr. told me to add a little more fat and carbs in to what I am eating to encourage a BM so broccoli cheese soup was lunch and dinner today. And it was GOOD! Thanks for all the support from everyone!

Constipation so early out that's very unusual. Have a search for fat bombs as you sound like you need them already. BTW are you taking calcium and iron already? It's fine if you're not, but you definitely want a lot of fat when you start having those.

I'm so glad you got checked out and you're fine. Some DSrs do have constipation issues--it throws the dietitians for a loop. lol  Anyway, if this is going to be your new normal, I would look at getting some Colace just in case. I really like the idea of more fat, be careful of the carbs. It might take some time to find out your limits and best combinations of fats and medications. Hang in there!  : )
