It can take 1-3 days for bowel to start working . How old is your Husband ? With people over 70 I have observed It may take a few days . Keep close to Dr and monitor closely . Solids are not a great idea if bowel is very slow . Keep us in the loop. If any health changes get him to hospital . How old is your husband ? Did Prostetectomy go smoothly ? God Bless to him and you ! James .

He is 67 and surgery went smoothly. Since his gas started late yesterday afternoon I have a feeling the bowels will start moving along…
