It is very common to go between 7-10 days after surgey with no BM. I wouldn't try to pu**** along. Listen to your body...when its ready it will let you know.

In my pre-op class they said that benefiber was the best thing for RNY and that it was actually made to be geared towards bariatric patients. They also said to call the office if you went more than 3 or 4 days without one. Hope this helps.

Milk of magnesia, dulcolax suppository or enema if you are uncomfortably constipated. Stool softeners taken every day help me the most. The other is for when it gets bad.

You can get the kind with no taste or orange taste. Orange isn't to bad.
