8 days

And that was after a serious effort to do it. Milk of Magnesia every hour for 6 hours.


But it was sooooooooo worth the effort.


Before the surgery I kept putting things off. I was never good enough. One of the benefits of WLS is that you start to believe in yourself. Check out my blog:

The hospital gave me softlax to take twice a day but it doesn't seem to do anything. How did milk of magenisium taste? Did it give you cramps?

milk of magnesia, taste just like eating chalk !!!   which is what it is.

it works, so for the 20 seconds of horrible taste, it is worth - not as bad as taking Buckley's for a cough.

3 week...I passed a ton of gas but didn't have a BM until I started having the full fluid diet.  Now I have at least 2 servings of Bran Buds mixed in with my yogurt everyday and have no problems with a BM or 2 a day.  Love when the porcelain God's call me every morning!

I guess I must be one of the lucky ones. Three days after surgery and I had a small one. Things seem to be moving fine. Not daily, but at least every two days. The gas is horrible though!

too long! 
3 weeks.  In fact, I had not had a BM by the time my 3 week post -op appt rolled around.
At that time they recommended the laxaday type powder that you mix in your liquid.
SInce the conversation, 14 months ago, I've only had to use the powder a handful of times.
