? how often do you go?

[ALISIA 1]

Hi, i have another weird question sorry. Do you have more frequent bowel movements after the sleeve or is it just about the same as before?

[Ruthi 60]

I think I have them less just because I dont eat as much as I did

When you're on the post op diet, most people seem to get diarrhea until their diet progresses to soft foods.

Now that I am 2 months from surgery today, I don't go every day. I am surprised though that when I do go, it's still soft. I am glad because with the band, I was constipated all the time.

I never had diarrhea post-op. What are your concerns in asking this question?

I did for about 2 days after I got home -- surgery was on Friday and diarrhea hit me Wed/Thurs. Haven't had any issues since. I don't go everyday; however when I do, it's soft but formed.

I remember my first week after surgery...OMG, I had at least 15 BM's a day....it was horrible. But that was from the liquids and IVs, etc... I was so glad when it ended..

Now, I go pretty much the way I used to, but Im more prone to Constipation, which was a huge difference.. before, i never got constipated..

So I have to really be careful..

I asked because someone asked me and i didnt know. also, i wanted to know how to plan around it if i ended up with diarrhea. i have issues with public bathrooms "my sh*t is shy" and i was not sure if it affects bm's like bypasses do. working around that while living in a dorm would be hard. but it sounds like by the time i start school it will be normal or less frequent. thank you all sorry i ask a lot of questions i just like to prepare and plan for everything so i am ready. this site has been very helpful.

They told me liquids in liquids out when I was concerned

about it. It went away just like everyone said it would, once I moved to mushies.

We're not malabsorbing so we shouldn't have extra "stuff" coming out.

Mine are about the same except they tend towards a green color more easily.
