Will I ever have a normal poop again?????????????? 6 days post op

Nope ...

Remember, what goes in, must come out. Your whole digestive system has just dramatically changed. Did you really have the expectation that wasn't going to be altered for awhile?

6 days out ... start taking Milk of Magnesia. Every day. Don't stop once things start moving. Continue for a week.

The fun aint over yet ...

yes.

It does nto seem like it, but yes.

Im doing milk of magnesia and it works great. I thought that first trip to the bathroom was going to be like giving birth but it went smoothly.

Ty! Will buy some today!!!!

normal poop again???

sure, you'll eventually have a normal "dump" again

you will have to be on solids for a while

then if all goes well - you'll be back to your normal self

referring to bathroom "situations" is a common question/problem amongst NEWBIES

things do take time to settle after major surgery - but you'll eventually be ok

As PdxMan corerctly said,

The fun aint over yet ...

take care

continued good luck

It takes a while to start pooping on a regular schedule. But it will happen.

I was so bad in the begining. I would cry on the toilot. Now I'm good I go everyday it's actually better than before the sleeve and I'm 6months out. Don't worry it will pass but it is a pain in the @&&...

I'm running out for some Milk of Magnesia now. All I am saying is yesterday was not pretty.

probably not like you did before but you will create a new normal.

I had the gastric balloon before I was sleeved. I went through such a BAD episode of constipation that I happily drink the milk of magnesia. Do NOT get to that point. Just bite the bullet!
