I am 18 days post-op and have not had a BM since New Years Day!! I have lots of pressure and lower back pain from this. My dr suggested Mirolax and I have been taking it everyday, according to the jar tomorrow needs to be the last day I can take it. (Only suggests you take it for 7 days) before I was sleeved I didn't have this issue. I started my day off w/a protein shake and cup of coffee since Jan of last year and have been regular since! I have recently started drinking coffee again, but I can only drink 6-8 oz. I am on soft foods (my dr ok'd me to start trying soft foods at my week pre-op) most of what I eat is protein and I have no problem getting in my water and protein shakes in so I am not sure what is causing this!! It will be a week tomorrow since I have weighed myself because I refuse to until I have a BM!
Is there anyone else out there that has had a similar experience? If so what did you do? I am going crazy!!! Help!!!
