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 ... :)

normal poop again???

Amanda626

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

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. :angry:

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

Yesterday that seemed like a viable option. Just sayin... :o

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!
