Gross But Need To Know! I Heard Pooping Smelt Really Bad!



Recommended Posts

I was a multiple times a day pre surgery, after surgery, I didn't go for almost 2 full weeks, and I almost cried the first time. If it's been a week and you haven't gone, take some Fiber and stool softeners, then pray. ;)

Yes, pay attention to this as it can get quite painful. I have used Miralax for years, Constipation has been my companion for most of my adult life. If you're on soft foods or can do a pudding or yogurt then try chia seeds as well, the combo of the two have given me the best releif I have EVER had.

Thankfully, I have not noticed a different smell, not for the worse anyway.... Everyone is different though. I only go once a day maybe? But that was also the same pre op

YES, get a stool softener and take it every day! If you don't, it's like pooping a golf ball covered in barbed wire.

I didn't go for 4 days after leaving hospital. Once I did it was very runny, and yes, the smell is beyond bad. LOL. I've been going once a day, not very much, and is very soft. I have not been using anything, but will probably start some fiber.

I was kind of worried about having a B M after surgery. I finally had one after about 5 days post surgery, then a couple days after that. They are now regular but days like yesterday nothing, today three times. Who knows, everybody's different! BTW, I am 12 days post op.

I'm still pre-sleeve, but I have some of this "one drop" stuff and it totally works. Just put one drop in the toilet before you go and it almost eliminates the smell completely. Best. Thing. Ever.

      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.
