10 day out

  Hello all I am ten days out and losing lbs easy except for missing food I just cant keep my mind off of it I miss it a lot.  I have not cheated at all I have keep on the clear liquids and have been walking like I was asked too do.  I also have a question I know I have not eaten since the 10th of Nov but should I not have had a bowl movement?  I did kind of go once last weekend but very little people say that a lot of people have diarrhea but not me I just can't seem to go at all.  Well thanks for reading this and all of your help and any comments that you have.  Have a great day and a great weekend.

At about 3 days out my doc told me to take some MOM....it worked too well...I think this is something your doc would want to know...of course now it is a holiday weekend.... if you do take the MOM...remmeber to shake it up really good.... Russ

There's nothing going in.  Don't expect a whole lot to come out.  Didn't you flush out your systems and get an enema right before the surgery?  And no solid food since?  Not that surprising. Get those liquids in, and you'll get a little bit of action.

  Guys Thanks for the info, as I finished posting guess what had to go and not a lot but enough I guess (sorry for details but need info).  Question no more of a fact WOW the smell is bad very bad so bad I could not stand it.   Anyway guys have an appointment on Monday hope to get some kind of ok for me to start soft foods.  Well all have a good night and God Bless you all.

The first one or two times after surgery looks and smells really, really bad. I guess it is the blood in the stool. Gotta admit that it would be interesting to package that smell and release it in the right situations. Or perhaps I have a warped sense of humor. In any case, I am glad it is behind you now. Joe

One of the things that is most typical about bowel movements early on? There is no “typical.” I used to joke that you could tell a new Bariatric Post-Op In the checkout line, because they would have- Something for Constipation AND Diarrhea in the same Cart. Get recommendations from your doc, But know that it does get much better the further out post-op. Best Wishes- Dx
