I know this is a crappy issue but anyone having dark stool? I had my first bm since the surgery and it seemed soft but fine but today (day3) I had another bm that was dark in color. Any help or knowledge is appreciated. I should also note I started an Iron supplement today.

Me too. Very dark.

Had surgery on the 24th Wednesday. Well actually' date=' I'm like, surgery? what surgery? I feel amazing! Every now and then a runners cramp where my lower incisions are. If I could drink normal, I would forget I had the procedure done. About to fly home from San Diego with these tight compression socks on. Can someone please tell me if I can take these things off for the flight? They are so uncomfortable under my jeans. Thanks.[/quote']

Wow, I hope I feel like that! Great to hear! Good luck

I agree. I dont feel sore really, I mostly just feel full a lot and have occasional gas. I think it has to do a lot with my intake. So far I'm up to % 100 Iron, multi Vitamin, Calcium, and im % 50 Protein and % 75 Water. I have cream of potatoe, cream of broccoli Soup, and sugar free puddings. I feel like im on par.

Positive thoughts and prayers newlife. You will do great. Same to all who are going this week. Lanuz, if you have thrush I don't know if I'd wait. I called my doctor and he put me on 7 days of oral meds plus several days of swish and swallow. I started yesterday and today my tongue looks like a horror show. I can't imagine what it would be like if I had waited. Also, to all the people with dark poop. Me too!! I wondered if it was at least in part to old blood, blue dye and iodine. We have ingested so much crap.

Today I drank about 55 ounces. That's my record to date. I got down about 42 grams of Protein. Another record. My mom made her awesome potato Soup (the base is skim milk) and I really enjoyed my coffee cupful. She took most of the potatoes out of mine and then blended it to a thin consistency. It still felt a little heavy, but so good. How's everyone else doing?
