No BM in 8 days!

hi rose,
my GP admitted he knows "jack Shit" about the sleeve operation. Im his 1st patient to have this op. hes now right into finding more about it.
i wouldn't be worrying too much about your bowels. as my surgeon said some do, some dont, i was explosive (tmi) like water for about 3 weeks, others nothing. his reply was nothing in nothing out is quite ok, as we are not eating solids . passing wind is good....
if u r really worried give your surgeon a call.

Movicol is good, but you must drink lots of water with it. I use Dulcolax drops (I get mine from Chemist Warehouse)- never an issue, no gripey pains, easy!

I was freaking out after about 4 days, so I went to the chemist and they reccomended Movicol Best stuff ever!!
Got everything moving again!!
But, as WondayWendy said, it did take a while to be beack to normal...
(although... some days....)

I don't remember how long but I know it was a while.  I think there is so little in your system that there is not much to go through. I'm back to normal 4 and a half months out but it was a bit dodgy for the first couple of months.  I found a Yakult each day helped over time.

ok so this is a bit embarrassing
Just want to know if anyone else is having this problem
I am 8 days post op and have not had a bowel motion
I am still taking pretty regular pain meds
I started taking collxyl 4 days ago
Have used three micro lax enemas over the past few days and yesterday I took one ducolax! Still not moving
I have been having at least 4 teaspoons of benefiber a day for the past 4 days
I am passing a lot on wind so I know my bowel is working but no BM

Should I be worried?
I  seeing my GP tomorrow but I'm not sure what else I can do

Any ideas? Have anyone else had this problem?
