Have a bathroom question



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery last Wednesday so it's been 4 days. I am finally getting more liquids in, which is good. The other day was the first tim I went #2, but it was like I passed gas and it was like an explosion sorry tmi., but I need to ask if anyone else has experienced the same thing. I have only had Clear Liquids now since last Tuesday so I would think it would be solid, but if feels like every time go to the bathroom and I pass gas it happens. It's brown and yellow . it's not really diarrhea. As anyone else experience this??

I think that it is very normal.

I was like that for nine days. Had to take me off of Protein Shakes to firm me up.

Yes, ???? me too. Mine woke me up at 2am. I don't look for mine to change until I start stage 2.

That's what I figured, I'm just so afraid of having a leak in my stomach (new )

I didn't have a bowel movement the entire first week, so I consider you fortunate that you were able to pass anything.

I had the same experience. I even asked my doctor about it at my first follow up appointment. It is normal. The first few days you have to be careful. Sometimes you think it's just gas so you gamble and lose lol. Started to firm up on Stage 2 but still going a day or two before the next bowel movement. When I do go it seems to be a trilogy or mini series so I suggest getting soft tissue and flushable wipes.

I had the exact opposite effect.

I couldn't pass anything without extreme pain and tearing without taking 6 Colace and Fiber gummies twice a day.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
