Odd question, but a question nonethesame, it will look the same way it does now.

At first it will be different, like softer. But after you get back on solids it should be normal, maybe a little harder because you won't be getting a lot of fiber. But it just won't happen as often. I suggest fiber gummies

I am eating Protein only, so not too much residue left after digestion...mine looks like biggish rabbit pellets.

ok so you asked right?

I have always had issues with Constipation especially while prego. After surgery it HORRIBLE. Moved to a more regular pattern at about 4 months but still deal with it ocassionally.

Chronic Constipation sufferer here, use Mirilax Daily.Mine are very dark, very heavy sinkers that smell really foul. I always leave "marks" on the sides of the bowl. I go maybe every three days or so.

During the liquid phase, when you're drinking sugar free stuff like gatorade/powerade/crystal light, and then throw in some lime Jello and some sugar free popsicles, Peacock poop is what we called it a couple of years ago.

Smaller bm material is to be expected especially when ingesting very small portions and/or liquids.

The freaky colors disappeared once I was able to progress to other liquids and foods.

So weird, I was just thinking about this because I went today and it's a lot different than my pre-surgery "normal". My "normal" before surgery though was chronic diarrhea due to IBS so this is actually a nice change because it's what I would consider to be normal poo. Not to hard, not to soft (no I'm not talking about papa bears chair :P ) and just a little bit, not hours of cramping and sitting there until my legs go numb because I ate the wrong thing. This was definitely an unseen perk of the surgery for me.

Hi,

I am almost 3 years out from having sleeve surgery. I notice that someone wrote already about using Miralax. I highly recomment using it daily. I just mix mine with my Protein drink every morning. I put a cap full in the blender with my Protein Drink. Miralax is tasteless and I use it sometimes in my hot tea too.

It just makes life a whole lot easier. You are eating Protein and do not get enough of the Fiber that you need. Miralax is not habit forming either. I use the "Costco" brand, it is the very same thing and cost less.

For me the poop is much smaller and looks the same color as always.

Before you can eat any foods... remember... liquid in, liquid out.

I see a bunch of people freaked out over "diarrhea" :)

      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.
