Does the sleeve make you do #2 more?



Recommended Posts

In my case, I am going about half as much. Since I'm taking in less than half of the food I used to eat, it only follows that I'd be going less. Although it does make for some anxiety moments on the scale. I won't lose weight for a day or two and think I'm in a stall. Then I'll go to the bathroom and POOF! I'm down a pound and the weight loss resumes. :lol:

Only for the first few weeks when mostly liquids are going in. Since then, no, it's a struggle to poo. Like the previous poster, I may gain an ounce or two a day until I go good, then I drop some weight. I go every day, just not always as, well, thoroughly, as I'd like.

I would say it's a bit less and I have problems going sometimes. I find that really staying hydrated helps. I am 4 months out. I was able to start going better when I got to the point where I could get some roughage (salad and veggies) in with my Protein.< /p>

I have a problem of not being able to go but about every 4 or 5 days. I used to be more regular. :(

I can relate to this subject before surgery regular person. After, surgery once every week if I am lucky. I take milk magu every day with little results. Sometimes I want my old stomach back.

      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.
