Just wondered. I had someone that had a difficult time going, so bad they thought they would have to go to the E.R. I drank some water with Miralax. I don't want that pain.

If you're worried, you should talk to your doc. I wish I would've kept up my stool softener regimen once I got home from the hospital, but I didn't and was rewarded 8 days later with concrete bowels. My doc recommended 2 stool softeners a day and 80 oz of fluids a day so that wouldn't happen again.

I didn't go for the first week,  which freaked me out because i usually go everyday.  So i started eating chewable fiber choice pills,  made from fruit and now i go every day  :o) Jeani

I didn't go for a week! I was also a bit worried. Then I was sitting in my recliner and passed some gas and felt something warm and liquidy in my pants.... talk about TMI! I had only liquid poop until I started on solids again. Its totally normal. Never trust a fart!

 As usual all your comments are answers to what I've been worried about. Just a few days before surgery and I'm struggling with constipation already. I'm used to eating a lot of fruits and vegetables, so the liquid diet has really done a number on me.

I especially appreciate the advice to use stool softeners again right away after surgery. It's good to know a little bit more what to expect.

I think it was after the doctor did my heel stick. They barely got the diaper on in time, according to my mom. 

Oh, do you mean after getting sleeved?
