That is soo funny that you say that, before my surgery my Dad and I were making jokes about that. I know weird, but that's his humor. He had me cracking up saying that I would be eating so little that my poop would be like a bunny. He even went as far as saying that I could be walking, give my pants a little shake and out it would roll! LOL! I dunno... I guess you had to be there, and know my Dad.

I know exactly what you mean. Ever since I started the liquid diet before surgery it has been like that. Something to do with eating much smaller amounts more frequently I think.

2½ months from surgery.

Mine could now be used as bullets.

The little rabbit poops were wonderful the first month after surgery, but then they expanded in size.

I have now discovered what the true meaning of the word "hemorrhoids" really mean.

I almost passed out the other day :-)

Laxatives and Water.

I forget all that Water

I think of it as they do with dogs. A good diet and the body gets to use ALL of the nutrients and little is left. the poop is smaller and more compact. So it's a good thing. When I was at my goal weight before, that's how I was. But maybe more Fiber to get them out easier!

This thread made me smile. Hubby and I have talked about this too.... when I was consuming 4000 cals a day, I was like clockwork right when I woke up every morn and there was a large amount present. I always knew when I binged the night before by the following morning. Now, I am lucky to go every other day. Really makes you think about what goes in comes out and the efficient use of healthy foods as opposed to the filler foods passing right though.

Still no bowel movement 8 days out. Just started miralax 2 days ago and still nothing

If you are really bound up Mirlax can take 6 days to work and if it it really bad you may to consider and enema in addition.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
