As long as your stool isn't a bright red I wouldn't be emergency room ready but it is something ya might wanna run by your surgeon if this is something new, if its right after surgery it might be just normal from blood entering your bowels when they moved stuff around. Whatever your comfortable with Hun.

I was going to say mine was pretty dark. I also had to take Colace the first few weeks. Never TMI in this place to me. Heck we all go through some weird stuff and it helps to know it's "normal" with this surgery.

OH I was bruised for weeks after all those heprin shots. They did two in my stomach and I finally asked them to give it to me in my arms instead. I had 4-5 bruises on my arms that lasted at least a month!

Today i had my first bm too. Mine is watery and practically clear! I feel like the bowel prep is still coming out..... Shots in the stomach i got those too with some lovely buses that went with them.

Actually just about anyone who has surgery ends up with those shots. They don't want clots to form due to no activity so they give them to you. Only while in the hospital and the needle is pretty small. They don't really hurt...at least for me the didn't you just get sick of having to have them.

I have read all the bruise comments though...

I haven't had my first bm yet (surgery 9/24) but I sure have the bruises:) they shouldn't be giving them to you in the stomach, you've had enough trauma there. The best place I was told was your upper thigh. I have to do them at home once a day for 7 days so I'm sure I will be bruised for a while. My legs look horrible, but I wouldn't want my arms being bruised b.c then everyone else can see them.

The dark stool is probably from blood from the surgery. It is ok to ask the doc just to make sure, but I think that is pretty normal.

My first BM was in the hospital and it was black and greasy looking

The nurses didn't say anything and they checked every bm and my urine so I think you're ok

      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?

      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.
