Embarrassing question about BM
Less in, less out :)
If consitpation is an issue try colace- nonaddictive and will get the job done. Another option is Miralax. At times I used both at the same time, particularly in the early months. Now I eat fiber so it is less needed, but still used a once or twice a week.

I would say put a fiber supplement in and remember that your body is different now so a change in your bowel movement is not un heard of... that being said if it is uncomfertable then YES it is an issue and if you can't get it under control with diet I would speak with your doc

I have had the same problem!! I actually go longer - like 5 days! It's HORRIBLE!! My mom actually bought me some smooth move tea and WOW! I had a GREAT morning if you know what I mean!! I feel a lot better too - less grumpy! And I like that its all herbal.
Hope that helps :)

i agree with the miralax. has done wonders. i started at 3 months out with severe issues and for 3 months had to take miralax 5-6 times a week, now i take it once or twice a week.

I've had IBS since I was a child, constipation is my mortal enemy! My primary doctor jokingly said that if I didn't eat anymore then I wouldn't be constipated. So I thought less in, less issues.
Nope, I can go 7 days without going. I take 1 cap miralax a day. The only difference now is my intestines and belly doesn't hurt!
Once every 3 days though can be considered normal, even for non VSG. Try adding some fiber or the mirilax!

Jus****ch the fiber ....absorbable fiber turns gel like and can slow things down. This is why fiber may be given to help treat diarrhea. The non absorbable fiber helps the most with constipation but you have got to get your fluids in. While still early out and having problem getting in enough roughage in my diet miralax has been the answer for me.
