When is the normal bowl movements gonna happen, seriously?

Man after surgery I have something new to talk about everyday lol. Seriously though I am way too prissy for diarrhea all the time. I get the urge and I just wanna cry cos I'm so grossed out by my body right now. Gas was disturbing enough and now diarrhea?? How do people ever feel sexy after surgery if they are constantly blowing ass and pooping brown water... Not cool folks.

Enjoy it while you can, the next phase is likely to be months of Constipation.

Thanks love, that's comforting lol

You may never be normal again in that area. Almost 2 years out and now I deal with Constipation most of the time bc of all the Protein I eat. The amount of fruits and veggies are small compared to the amount of protein so I can't seem to get myself regular. I will take it, though. Much better than being overweight!

Ha!!! Well, look at it as calories out! make sure you don't get dehydrated from it though.

I'm the complete opposite (and a bit concerned now), I'm seven days post op and haven't had any movement at all!!! Just gas, no urge to go.

I'm scared of dehydration all together cos I can't ever drink enough and whatever I do drink I drizzle out 2 minutes later, yuk. I didn't go for 5 days and now I can't stop. Have you talked to your dr? Maybe you should take a liquid Fiber supplement if you're allowed to or a laxative. I'm sorry you're having trouble but I'd rather not poop at all then have a raw ass from pooping too much

I'm like 20 months out. Couldn't be more normal in this area. When you get through this tough initial phase, you will be "regular" again.

SarSar, how much Protein are you consuming each day? As I recently posted on another thread, the purpose for me getting sleeved was so I didn't HAVE to be on any specialized diets anymore. Throughout the day I ensure I get a balance of nutrients and liquids. Well balanced meals are our goal ... not another diet ...

Right?

It is better then being fat but it still sucks. My sister has had constipation problems since she had her kids, she drinks Kangan Water and it keeps her regular.

Totally agree. Everyone keeps talking to me about diets and I'm thinking um no I'm not doing a diet. I'll make sure I'm not eating junk constantly but if I want some every now and then I'm not gonna feel guilty about it. A balanced diet of everything is what I'm going for not the Atkins diet which is high Protein, low carb.

This has been my exact philosphy the last 20 months. I dropped 120 pounds in 8 months (I exercised like crazy, though, too) and have had no problems maintaining at my goal weight, which is actually lower than my original goal weight, but my body had other plans. I just went with it.

Congratulations, that's awesome. I think everybody has such different bodies that 1 diet won't work for everyone. It's not a one fits all. I think some people have to watch carbs and Protein to lose weight and some people just have to watch calories intake. For me, anytime I've ever lost weight in the past I would just lower my calorie intake but still ate whatever I wanted and even though I gained the weight back once I started eating more I think It will be easier to mange with my new sleeve.
