Haha. Yes...pooping does seem to help with weight loss :-)
My dr recently told me it is normal, that what I am experiencing is probably gas - which can be caused by many things. Out of all that he suggested, I suspect it is from the sugar substitute, Splenda.
Since I have backed off the Splenda, the gurgling does not happen as often.
Keep on a-poopin' ????

Well, the Dr said the BM a couple times a week is normal.
The gurgling is too (my tummy was in "full roar" while I was there, so they got to hear it). Dr said it could be just about anything... They are thinking it is the Splenda I use in my coffee & oatmeal - guess it can cause gas ????. Guess I will decrease the usage & see if that helps.
BTW - good news!! At 6 months post-op, I've gone from a 46 BMI down to 32 BMI. Made me happy ????.

Nothing found...yet. Been thinking I should start my own.

I have an appt with my dr next week. Hopefully will shed some light on the situation.

At just over six months post op, recently my tummy has been gurgling more often and I feel somewhat bloated. I usually have a bowel movement once to twice a week.
However, in the last few weeks, my tummy has become more gurgly, I feel bloated, and now I'm having more bowel movements more often – almost as if food is going straight through me.
Is this normal??

Lol. Yes, the scale is awful!! I TRY not to weigh every day. And I just cannot bring myself to throw it away.
But good news. Weighed myself yesterday. Down to 245.
Patience is a virtue, right?! ????

I had my surgery 11/18/14. My starting weight when I started my liquid diet was 299. For over a week I have been between 247-248 (fluctuating all week). I think it's because I'm not getting all my Water in, so I've been making sure I DO get it in. Also my Vitamins. Nothing changes. I've been trying to get all my Vitamins and protein/carbs in (animal Protein is not easy to digest). I get about 600-700 calories a day.
What am I doing wrong??

Looking for a group in the Tri-cities: Kennewick, Richland, Pasco. I'm almost 3 months post-op & would like to find a group.
