Change In Color Of Bms



Recommended Posts

As anyone else noticed a change in the color if their poop? Having tan sometimes gray clay colored poop. Went online and learned it could be a bile/liver problem. Going to call doctors office today but was curious if anyone else is experiencing this. Thanks!

Ever since surgery mine have been yellow or green. I had my gallbladder removed on 6/26 and then they really turned green. I spoke to my doctor about this and he said not to worry its all normal.

You should call your doctor. Dark tarry stools can indicate bleeding in the intestinal track. It could be nothing but better to be safe.

I experienced it and it turned out I was Iron deficient. Severely anemic actually. They put me on prenatal Vitamins and 2 months later now all is well. No more anemia! No more pale colored stools! :)

I am anemic - have to take Iron twice a day... Maybe that's it. Called dr today - said its common but if still an issue at next months appt - the blood work may show something

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
