I was constipated for a full 7 days after the op but that was the lack of food and fluids, its completely normal now (just smaller amount)

i have a band, the bowl movement stopped for just over a week, but it was down to the pain killer codiene.

Prune juice was a big help in the early days!!! Also drink plenty of fluids. I gues it depends on how you were pre op too - have always been a regular girl myself!!!

was regular one a day girl before the op so never thought about it Got some tinned prunes in will have to blend and add to some yogurt

Hi thanks for your replys, l'm hoping that l'll be okay but am a little sensitive when it comes to constipation, and now know that for me it tends to be linked to not having enough fluids so will obviously have to be careful.
