      A lot of people have the same issue. If your Bariatric Team couldn't answer it, how about your Primary Physician?

      Before going the route of enemas, the usually suggest stool softeners/laxatives taken orally.

      There is so little solid food in your system that there shouldn't be much bulk in bowel movements. It's usually watery. Also take a look at your water/fluid consumption. Try to increase it and the plumbing should work smoother.

      But nudge your teams again for answers. They are the pros.

      Safe Journey!
