My surgeon says some people go 3 times a day and some people go once every 3 or 4 days. It just depends on what is normal for you. I happen to be one of those once every 2 days people. Also, remember you are eating way less food now and that also affects it.

I'm going under the assumption you mean "bowel movement." I only go every 4 or 5 days, and my surgeon says that as long as I don't get constipated, it's not a problem.

I asked my primary (internal medicine) about this and he said as long as you have a 'regular' pattern...then your are 'regular'...whether that's every day, every other day, 3, 4 or even 5 days.
