I had VSG not RNY, so take that for what it is. (YMMV) However, I didn't go for 6 or 8 days after surgery. Then it was more like urinating from the wrong hole... (TMI I know, but when you are on a liquid only diet, liquid in, liquid out is the mantra)

I don't think I had a solid for about a week. With all the pain meds, etc... everything gets a little backed up. I remember being a bit constipated early on so make sure that you take a stool softener if they didn't send you home with one (of course check with your surgeon first to be sure its ok).
