Gayle 9 Posted June 20, 2011 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twoboysandagirl 109 Posted June 20, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rootman 1,101 Posted June 20, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiffykins 673 Posted June 20, 2011 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.

ybnormal 21 Posted June 21, 2011 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 ) 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. Renee` Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suzannesh 376 Posted June 21, 2011 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. Suzanne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheetsin 714 Posted June 21, 2011 Before you can eat any foods... remember... liquid in, liquid out. I see a bunch of people freaked out over "diarrhea" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
