no bowel movement 12 days after gastric bypass

Hi , i had gastric bypass surgery 12 days ago, im feeling fine and have been losing weight, the only real concern i
have is that i havn't opened my bowels since before surgery, which was 12 days ago, is this normal ?? im eating soup, yogart and a little bit of mash ,also trying to drink as much as possible and walking alot,  i am also taking laxolose morning and evening , any ideas, should i go back to the surgeon or is this normal
look forward to hearing from someone from lisa x

You should check back with your doctor. It's not typical to go that long after surgery without a bowel movement even on decreased amounts of food.
