Do your first bowel movements hurt after WLS...........

This is so embarrasing; but I have always been constipated and unregular. I am ten days away from surgery and my surgeon said we don't need to do a bowel prep kit the day before surgery. He said just to avoid meats and cheeses two days before surgery. Should I start taking something now to get them moving before surgery. I was just thinking of doing a bowel prep anyway for my own peice of mind and if I do which ones are the best? I've never done this before but I'm worried that I'll be all backed up and it will be very painful to have a BM after surgery if I don't flush out my system! I know this is gross. Sorry but it really bothers me. Thanks in advance for any help!
