I just realized that I have not had a bowel movement in weeks. Is this normal
and should I be worried. I am still on phase #2 (eggs and seafood.

On early stages, not everyone has a BM daily. But  "..not had a bowel movement in weeks." isn't normal. I speak to a lot of post ops, and some newer ones have BM's every 2 -3 days, but not any longer.  I'd be on the cautious side and call your surgeon. Are you drinking 64+ oz of waster daily?  DAVE

"WEEKS"????  Good grief, your abdomen should be looking like you're about 4 mos PG!

Take some Miralax.  It's available OTC and is very mild, but works well.  Take it daily until you
get results.  Be warned--the first results are probably going to be PAINFUL!!

Walk, drink water.

Good luck!

Then don't worry about it until you explode.
