Hi all I'm going to get very personal with this question. I'm almost 3 weeks post-op. I may urinate three times a day and my first one of the day is dark yellow and when I have a bowel movement its like a small child use the bathroom. My question to everyone is in the beginning were you like this and should I be concern?

when I don't eat right my bowel movements are like that soi increase Protein and Water and it returns to normal size

Hi Healthy...it took a while for my bowels to adjust. I had to take laxatives, advised by surgeon, and drink plenty of Water. The Constipation was awful. I still have to get a little help and I am a year surgiversary this month. Listen to your body... Blessings!

. I'm almost 3 weeks post-op. I've been told that what you are describing is a sign of not enough water/fluids. My doctor suggested using Myralax Or a stool softener. I prefer Myralax.

I went through the same thing. Trying increasing Fiber and fluids. And stool softeners are always helpful. When my urine is dark I know that is a sign that I'm not getting in enough fluids and then I increase it.

I am having the sleeve surgery Aug 21. Very nervous. How long will it take me to heal and return back to work' date=' and what's the best protien shake to buy and where?[/quote']

So tomorrow is your big day? I had my sleeve aug 13, last week. I took 2 1/2 weeks off work. I'm a week out and I'm sore and still a little tired but overall ok. I will warn you for me day 2 was the gas pains. The worst pain I had. You have to walk it out. They will also give you gas x. I wish you well. Unjury Protein has been the best for me so far. It will be hard to drink for a few days. Just keep trying.

Good luck on you date. I'm 3 week post- op. I didn't have any major problem after going home from the hospital. Just a little uncomfortable getting positioned to sleep. The biggest battle was to keep sipping Water and consuming enough Proteins. Today, is the 1st day I been able to consume 80 grams of Protein. Current weigh loss 22 lbs.
