That is soo funny that you say that, before my surgery my Dad and I were making jokes about that. I know weird, but that's his humor. He had me cracking up saying that I would be eating so little that my poop would be like a bunny. He even went as far as saying that I could be walking, give my pants a little shake and out it would roll! LOL! I dunno... I guess you had to be there, and know my Dad.

I know exactly what you mean. Ever since I started the liquid diet before surgery it has been like that. Something to do with eating much smaller amounts more frequently I think.

2½ months from surgery.

Mine could now be used as bullets.

The little rabbit poops were wonderful the first month after surgery, but then they expanded in size.

I have now discovered what the true meaning of the word "hemorrhoids" really mean.

I almost passed out the other day :-)

Laxatives and Water.

I forget all that Water

I think of it as they do with dogs. A good diet and the body gets to use ALL of the nutrients and little is left. the poop is smaller and more compact. So it's a good thing. When I was at my goal weight before, that's how I was. But maybe more Fiber to get them out easier!

This thread made me smile. Hubby and I have talked about this too.... when I was consuming 4000 cals a day, I was like clockwork right when I woke up every morn and there was a large amount present. I always knew when I binged the night before by the following morning. Now, I am lucky to go every other day. Really makes you think about what goes in comes out and the efficient use of healthy foods as opposed to the filler foods passing right though.

Still no bowel movement 8 days out. Just started miralax 2 days ago and still nothing

If you are really bound up Mirlax can take 6 days to work and if it it really bad you may to consider and enema in addition.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
