Common: Discomfort, gas, bloationg, irregular loose or constipated bowel movements csn be very common this early after surgery. Drink plenty of liquids, eat smaller lighter foods ; avoid fatty or greasy foods just for now. Contact your surgeon for a post-operative follow up to answer your questions.
