Totally TMI Warning: BMs



Recommended Posts

How many BMs did you have once you started going again after surgery? I had my surgery Monday and had my first BM today, and have had 3 since then all the same day. Seems a little odd since I only just graduated to Protein Shakes from Water this morning.

Be prepared for hard times. Every day is a challenge. Keep up with taking stool softeners and adding Fiber to your diet. Lots of Water, as well.

Yeah this is pretty consistent with what I've been reading. Which might mean that my stomach doesn't agree with something in the shakes. Just hard to complain since it makes life a lot easier at this stage. Can't imagine having to push much lol.

During purred/liquid/soft foods I was going 2-3 times a day. Now, I go once a day, if I'm lucky.

I'm 6 weeks out I go about once a day but get the feeling like I have to go a lot but don't really have to. Tmi but when I do go its formed but still very soft I think it has to do with all my daily Vitamins.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
