HOW MANY STOOLS DO YOU ALL HAVE WITH THE DS. JUST WONDERING

I am 4 years out and have one rather large Bowel movement per day typically. Usually in the morning but occasionally other time of the day.

Every morning, first thing after I wake up, I have to use the bathroom for a BM. Typically, this is the major one of the day with 2-3 other smaller ones throughout the day. But every once in a while I have a day where that's all my body wants to do and I have 4-5 that day. Those days I'm thinking, "What's going on?" It's nothing to be concerned about, just the body taking care of business.

4 to 6.

Just wait. It’s coming. BMs will become larger and have more odor (noxious). If you get constipated try eating a slice of cheesecake, seriously, it works better than medicine for the DS. Also simple carbs, like white sugar, will cause excess gas and possibly tummy discomfort.

This is the life! ?

Yeah, you just wait.....:)

2-3 in the morning, one more at night. Unless I eat something that I shouldn't lol

Pretty much the case the first year, then things change but never back to what things were pre-op. Those days are gone forever.
