It is actually really nice. The only thing is that a bit of Fiber makes it easier to go when it is time to go. I found that eating chili from Wendy's is a great lunch for 2 days so I buy it twice a week and it is all of the fiber that I need.

And your stools aren't hard? I love the chili from Wendy's too... It's great protein!

Early on it was every 3 or 4 days, I won't let it go longer than that.

Now at almost 1.5 years it is every or every other day, depending on how much fluids I get in.

Do you think you go more often because you are further out and can take more in...?

Every 4-6 days. Not constipated, it's just such a way smaller amount of food that it has a longer travel time. I rarely had gas before and now I go days without farting.

If you want to be more regular try Probiotics. The live kind that is encapsulated so they can survive your stomach acids.

A lot of the replies in here confuse me because I'm about 2 weeks out and it's every other day, pretty much; I'm extremely regular, now...I don't eat much, and I don't "put out" much, but it definitely happens frequently!

It probably depends on the specific person. Also, maybe, how active you are? Activity can help move it faster through your system, if you know what I mean. I definitely am more likely to ahem the day after I get my steps in!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
