    Default Question "for a friend",.. Post-op BM?

    So, my friend would like to know, since the first week post-op is liquid diet,... should s/he be concerned about a lack of BM?

    His/her liquid diet has included jello and powdered protein shakes, broth, juice, water etc. Nothing solid unless the jello and protein shakes have solid off fall.
    Bagawk!

    I had a BM the day before surgery and didn't go again until exactly 1 week after surgery, and it was nothing to write home about. And then it took another week for the next one. It's pretty common. A lot of people take something daily to keep everything going smoothly (There a plenty of threads on here about that). If I go 3 days without a BM, I take ex-lax. Just make sure you get in enough water.

    Constipation is a problem. I have had to use an enigma a few times. I also take a daily stool softener. Get your 64 oz water in, add a sugar free fiber supplement but only if you're getting in your 64 oz water, milk of magnesia (1 tbs) all things my surgeon's office suggested. Your surgeon may have different results suggestions.

    Even more disturbing will be the color and consistency when you do go. You will have dried blood (dark brown and flaky) in your first movements.

    It's ok unless you're feeling plugged up. Smooth Move hot tea always helps me
