i am doing my pre op diet shakes and in am my fifth day in and I am no longer having BMs is that normal? I just wondered. I have not been really hungry, but have had cravings of and on when I am tired or frustrated about something. I think it is just a mental thing. My surgery is the 25th. I am so excited for it. I may be off the insulin pump.

You are only on liquids, so their isn't much 'food' to make BMs. I would call your surgeon's office and see if they want you to take something.

Call your doctor and see if they want you to add fiber or take a laxative.

When I was doing my pre-op diet I became horribly constipated AND became impacted! I hope by now you've talked with your doctor and are comfortable.
