Newly Post-op ~ Bathroom Issues???

I had my RnY done on Tuesday and got home from the hospital yesterday.  Today I had my first BM and my second and my third.  Is this normal?  Could it be from going off the pain medication? 

My priority right now is staying hydrated but I am wondering if I should be worried or evaluating what little I am eating to see if something could be irratating me.

Yep, totally normal. It takes a while for things to get moving, but once they do you may have soft frequent BMs for a while. Going off pain medication definitely helps get things moving. As long as the stool isn't bloody or anything or you don't have abdominal pain associated with it, don't worry.  When they cut inside you, it bleeds and that blood and fluid is what your first bowel movements are made of. Before too long I bet you'll be back on here saying "what can I do about constipation?" because that's the next stage for a lot of people. You'll miss the going three times a day

All the best!
