Congrats on your new sleeve :D 

No worries on the bathroom issues. I added miralax to my water for two days and that worked well for me. :) I was on day 14! When you're not eating, you're not eating! haha 

it is not unusual not to go for the first week or so, very little solids go in at first , also then the diarrhea usually starts till you start solid foods , then back to constipation till you start eating higher fiver food (veggies), coffee helps me alot

and once in a while milk of magnesia , maralax and smooth go tea did not help me much

I was sleeved on the 17th and took Mirilax 2 days after surgery.  I went poo and then didn't stop going!  I still have diarrhea 10 days later...although certainly not from the Mirilax!  I am currently taking pepto bismol tablets four times a day to treat H. Pylori and that didn't even stop the runs.

I also had my gallbladder removed so that could be contributing to my problem.

I also had mine removed and I have only went three times since surgery. Hmmm

My pre surgery H. Pylori test was negative but the doctor did a biopsy during surgery and it was positive.  Aside from the pepto, I am taking an antibiotic twice a day, metronidazole four times a day and Zantac four times a day.  I think the pepto is part of the regimin as I had just called them earlier the day I was ordered the meds asking for an anti-diarrhea medicine and they said no.

Guess I'm just lucky.  Lol

thanx for the feedback i have miralax so im gunna try some! (= im jus greatfull this is my only real issue....thanx all (=

Sleeved this past Monday, finally had a BM on Thursday afternoon.  First attempt to go almost worked, but the turtle wouldn't come out of the shell, so to speak.  Walked around a bit and had 3-4 teaspoons of the cup of coffee I made my boyfriend, and that did the trick.  Haven't gone since Thursday, but my doctor told me that was normal.  

Has anyone tried adding a Starbucks coffee VIA to their protein shake?  I used to do that pre-surgery to give my chocolate shake some flavor and get my caffeine fix.  I know we're not supposed to drink coffee/tea with caffeine, but no one has said anything about adding a little instant coffee to a protein shake to get things moving.
