3 days post op, RNY.  Have not had a BM yet, I am passing gas, not uncomfortable, but know I need to have one.  Any suggestions.  Also having a difficult time getting all the food and fluids in.  I am trying, but feel very full.  Looking for some ideas.  thanks!

What has your doctor reccomended? Mine said magnesium citrate or colace. I also have used Mira lax

Lots of water helped me in the beginning

FLUIDS for sure!  64oz is your goal.

Walking will help things work out, too.

There is most likely not much to come out is you have been on liquids very long. Even when you are on solid food there is much less than there used to be, so a BM every few days wouldn't be abnormal.
