Remember, what goes in, must come out. Your whole digestive system has just dramatically changed. Did you really have the expectation that wasn't going to be altered for awhile?

6 days out ... start taking Milk of Magnesia. Every day. Don't stop once things start moving. Continue for a week.

The fun aint over yet ... :)

Im doing milk of magnesia and it works great. I thought that first trip to the bathroom was going to be like giving birth but it went smoothly.

normal poop again???

Amanda626

sure, you'll eventually have a normal "dump" again :lol:

you will have to be on solids for a while

then if all goes well - you'll be back to your normal self :)

referring to bathroom "situations" is a common question/problem amongst NEWBIES

things do take time to settle after major surgery - but you'll eventually be ok :)

As PdxMan corerctly said,

The fun aint over yet ... :)

take care

continued good luck

It takes a while to start pooping on a regular schedule. But it will happen. :)

I was so bad in the begining. I would cry on the toilot. Now I'm good I go everyday it's actually better than before the sleeve and I'm 6months out. Don't worry it will pass but it is a pain in the @&&...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
