Bowel movements

I am about four weeks out from DS surgery. Should I be having a bowel movement on a daily basis? I don't feel constipated, but am worried that I am not having enough. I get my 64oz + of water in daily but still working on getting to the 100 g of protein?

I haven't been switched yet. But I was sleeved and my bowel movements were very irregular for several weeks after surgery. The body is getting used to the shock of surgery and also the post-surgery diet. You will regulate eventually. More than likely when you move onto more solids.

Are you taking a hearty amount of vitamins? Just wondering if you are getting enough fat in your diet...I know with me if I do not get enough fat my bowels slow right down on all my vites...
