  • My heart goes out to you!! My husband has had major problems with fissures and hemmies also. He has had them removed at Dr.'s office. The stuff they removed stunk like something was dead!! His one time was the size of a softball!! Lo and behold the same thing happened to my daughter. Now I'm not sure if these tend to run in the family but it is one of the worst things to have. Now, before my RNY, I had the back door trots everyday and went poo after every meal and then in between too. Now I have Constipation, and have to use Miralax, I used it once and awhile but sometimes it takes me 4 doses to get to go. It is really miserable for sure. For myself I would much prefer the Constipation. But...that is just me. I guess others would rather go the other way. You might try MIRALAX because it isn't a laxative at all. Just uses the fluids from your body. Again, I know how bad it can get and I hope all goes well for you.

What procedure did you have?

So you just had surgery so any bm is a good thing, most don’t have one until they start eating again. Blood in your stool is definitely not normal so call your surgeon and just ask what that could mean.

The reason why i asked what procedure is because usually you hear about the runs with bypass and ds patients, not so much the sleeve. Sleevers tend to either be normal or constipated.

I will say with most people it almost always goes away with time, so good luck.

I don't understand how one could have firm BMs consuming only liquids...

I am on my pre-op which is primarily liquid and one small meal and I am extremely constipated. Worse than I've been in a very long time.

Well I am atypical RNY, I have never yet had diarrhea and I am over 7 weeks out. My stool💩loves me so much it hangs around until an enema or MoM, oh it is still soft because of the Miralax, but IT DOES HATE LEAVING!

I know I don't get to choose what happens, but if I had to choose between the two, I would most definitely prefer being constipated! lol! I don't want to risk any accidents at work or in public. Diarrhea is the worst! I would rather vomit every day of my life than deal with that.

I was atypical as well until yesterday. 2.5 months post op and sudden runs. Yesterday was after eating a salad. No dressing no fats. Last night had 2 eggs n piece of toast. This morning couldn't stay off the toilet!!☹️

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
