Recommended Posts

Had a bit of diarrhoea on days 3-5 and a normal (but tiny) regular bowl movement yesterday (day 6) Oh how excited I was

Your "poop"schedule will be different every week for a while. Most of us have experienced the omg out of no where diarrhea too! Inconvenient at best!!! But don't expect to be like before surgery- most of what you will (read SHOULD) be eating down the road will actually be used by your body so your waste volume will decrease.

I have what I call "poop days". They can be as far apart as 5-6 days. I'm not constipated, in pain, or bloated. The stool just takes a while longer to "gather up" and work its way down the pike lol.

So don't sweat the poop- it will come!!!!

@@rimmarrufo I had the RnY and it was 7 days before I pooped, I had been adding the stool softener powder to my Water and drinking for two days prior! This was just yesterday, nothing today yet.

It smells bad if you haven't gone to the toilet in a couple of days because all that bacteria is sitting there.. (Sorry)

Don't let it get to the point where you are suffering everyday. I had to experiment plenty before things got back to normal.

I can and I will.

I got nervous too because i keep getting constipated but the docs told me to take Milk of Magnesia and it did the trick. I am almost 2 weeks post and still aren't regular entirely. But thats something that you'll definitely want to ask the doc about.

Can being constipated hurt where they create the new intestine in the new stomach? I am so scared of this!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
