I'm still having the weirdest bowels ever. I'm at my 1 month post op appt and I'm going to ask about it. It's not that I'm constipated now but it looks like I took that alli pill and I'm passing all the fat I'm putting in my mouth. I did have a few soft pale, clay looking stools but now I'm having the oily bowels. Sorry for the details but I mean that's the only way to accurately share information with y'all. Lol

And just FYI I don't have a gallbladder so I'm not sure if that plays a part to the kind of bowels I have at the moment.

A few days after leaving the hospital.


I was sleeved 4/26 and I had my first actually fart maybe 4 days out and I think bowl movement 5 days out. I did take miralax to help for 2 days. Now I seem to go daily a very small amount but it's liquid and mucous looking I assume bc of the fact I'm still on liquids.


One thing to consider after taking antibiotics(during or after surgery), is to take good probiotics to add good bacteria back into your system. I use Bio-kult and Prescript-Assist(both found on amazon), which together give a very wide range of probiotics. Healthy bacteria promote a healthy gut and healthy regularity. I started taking them as soon as I was done with the antibiotics that were prescribed and that is when I stopped having weird and urgent poops.
