Lebim 381 Posted July 9, 2012 Can we just chat about this? Prior to surgery my bm's were extremely soft (sometimes with no solidity at all) due to my poor diet and the metformin I was on for PCOS. Post op my poopz are wonderful! I haven't had the joy of taking a gigantic firm poop in over a year and am thrilled. For those of you with little maturity and a similar experience please share :] 1 nickyvolzz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lebim 381 Posted July 9, 2012 Well I don't poop every day and eat a lot of cheese so Constipation is an issue, usually I just am in the bathroom for like 20 mins trying. Eventually it just works. Try ti eat more Fiber. (Hummus has some fiber) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
