Gross But Need To Know! I Heard Pooping Smelt Really Bad!



Recommended Posts

I was a multiple times a day pre surgery, after surgery, I didn't go for almost 2 full weeks, and I almost cried the first time. If it's been a week and you haven't gone, take some Fiber and stool softeners, then pray. ;)

Yes, pay attention to this as it can get quite painful. I have used Miralax for years, Constipation has been my companion for most of my adult life. If you're on soft foods or can do a pudding or yogurt then try chia seeds as well, the combo of the two have given me the best releif I have EVER had.

Thankfully, I have not noticed a different smell, not for the worse anyway.... Everyone is different though. I only go once a day maybe? But that was also the same pre op

YES, get a stool softener and take it every day! If you don't, it's like pooping a golf ball covered in barbed wire.

I didn't go for 4 days after leaving hospital. Once I did it was very runny, and yes, the smell is beyond bad. LOL. I've been going once a day, not very much, and is very soft. I have not been using anything, but will probably start some fiber.

I was kind of worried about having a B M after surgery. I finally had one after about 5 days post surgery, then a couple days after that. They are now regular but days like yesterday nothing, today three times. Who knows, everybody's different! BTW, I am 12 days post op.

I'm still pre-sleeve, but I have some of this "one drop" stuff and it totally works. Just put one drop in the toilet before you go and it almost eliminates the smell completely. Best. Thing. Ever.

ok' date=' since someone opened the subject up....I was a 3-4x'r a day...surgery was this past Tuesday the 27th, and um when can I expect to drop the kids at the pool again? and will it kill me to do so?[/quote']

Honey don't fret. I had a leak and went 27 days with nothing. Unless its starting to hurt, you're fine.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
