Everything you're eating is a liquid, and liquids just don't stick around that long.

Well, mine kinda did, but I was never an "every day" type of girl, anyway.

Rejoice in your frequent BMs. I finally had one last week after over 2 weeks of nothing. You so don't want to be there...

Just want to warn before hand it might be a little gross, but I need to know if this ok, for the past three days I have been going to the bathroom twice a day having a very loose and watery stool. All I have been having is crystal light energy Water, Jello and broth. Should I be worried of the frequency since I am eating so little or is this normal? Thanks for everyone who answers

I know this sounds nieve, and I don't know why I didn't think About it before but my surgeon everytime he would see me he would ask " have you had a bowel movement" my answer was no. I was sleeved on May 1st so I'm 6 days out. I didn't have one til I got home. And omg it has been Water ever since. Even on the 2 two week liquid diet prior it was not like this. Imsure. I'm just adjusting to my new stomach. Maybe it cease when I'm able to introduce more solid foods. But I must say this is the part of the surgery and after that no one tells you about, or even prepares u for.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
