Ever since being sleeved in december my bm schedule has completely changed. Preop I would go 2, sometimes 3 times a day. Now I seem to go about every 5 days or so. And when I do go it's a lot. Like so much that I keep clogging potty's. Sorry this is embarrassing.....

But what can I take to help go more often.

Any advice would be great. I never had this problem before surgery so I'm not sure what to do.

    Thank you guys for the suggestions! Sorry I've been out of town and every place I've been has had shitty Internet and AT&T coverage.

    I do take iron which I didn't think was the problem because I was on it preop but I guess it is possible!

    Thank you!!!
