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 :]

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)

LOTS of people have that problem with metformin! It is nice to hear about someone that is having positive bowel issues post op rather than problems all the time.

My surgery was may 23rd . Since 2 days post op I've been doing regular solid poops 2-3 times a day like clockwork . Drink your Protein Shakes and eat Protein and you'll go regular. Drink a lot too.

      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.
