Did you have a bowel movement while you were at the hospital ? They would not have let me go home unless I did. Like the others mentioned, being constipated is very common... even months after the surgery.
You can use a laxative called Miralax or Milk of Magnesia. I have found both these products to be very effective.
You may also choose (perhaps down the road) to supplement your diet with fiber. You can use Fiber Choice chewables or Benefiber crystals. Do NOT use any other fiber product without checking with your surgeon first.
