Need help! Any suggestions?

Hi everyone. I need some help and thought you guys might have some ideas. I am 11 days post op from open RNY and my bowel movements have stopped. I haven't gone for two days. I am taking milk of magnesia and Dulcolax but neither one has done the trick. I am on a pureed diet. I have my two week check up on Tuesday and I'm scared if I haven't gone it will be back in the hospital for me. Any suggestions? Hope everyone else is doing well.

I have heard from friends who are post-op (some over a year out) have a BM only every 4-5 days- the volume of food going in is so much less that pre-op. I would say its not a concern unless you are having unusual pain from not going and an inability to keep food down (ie increased vomiting). It might be a good idea to call your doctor- even if a day before your app't - and ask any suggestions/advice. Karen

Thanks Karen. That makes me feel alot better.
