I totally feel you. If I poop once a week it's a good day.

Once a week?? You poor thing. I go every 2nd day & even that gets uncomfortable. Lately I've drastically increased my Water intake & sometimes go daily. Sad how happy that makes me haha

@sallo...tips for going often? Surgery is late December, but not going is a side effect I'd like to avoid. Must be hard with all Protein we need.

Heya, not sure I can help much because I seem blocked up most of the time & my bowel movements are extremely foul smelling. My surgeon said it could be because of undigested fat (I had RNY). I stopped adding fibre to my food as it seemed to make it worse. Now I try to drink at least 70oz a day & take Coloxyl & Senna. All the best for your upcoming op.

What caused my initial post was the lack of my bowels moving since before surgery which was a week ago. In research after I found out this was normal .... but wasn't aware of it in advance .... truly a relief .... but just do be aware as you approach your date.

I am still not getting enough water. I try but often forget at work. I think its a side effect of years of edema. Too much water/liquids and my feet swell painfully.

How do you go every other day? I am jealous.

You had your op May or Oct. Sorry, we do our dates differently in Australia. We do date, then month.

I didn't go close to daily in the beginning. I had RNY beginning of Feb. I was 231 on op day & 156 now. HW 250.

Me? October 5th. Tomorrow I am 7 weeks post op. In a bit of a stall, only 3lbs in the last two weeks. Driving me nuts but I have lost 21 inches.

Yep you. Ohh it wouldn't stress too much about your bum yet. You're still fresh outta the door. I think it's easier when your diet varies & you get more natural fibre.

Yep, stalls suck. Luckily I didn't experience them much. I am now, but Ive lost 92 pounds on a year & probably close to goal (if I actually had a goal weight). I need a tummy tuck to get rid of the rest.

Speaking of....ahem....After some private time I am now 326! That is my highest weight when I joined Medifast 7 years ago and met my husband.

Does the once a week thing happened with all the surgeries?
