Tmi post..... Poop



Recommended Posts

I Keep pooping. It's 10:30 and I've had diarrhea 3 x today. It's not smelly or anything. Should I be concerned?

The single serving serving drink flavors like crystal light have always given me diarrhea. I don't even plan to try them again. I can do unsweetened kool aid with splenda. I've never heard of anyone else having that problem though.

If your on all liquids then no, its normal. Poop wont go to turd form until your eating solids.

I had it for a good 2 months straight and my dr knew, saying you wont have a turd until your actually eating food again, and even then it will be every 3-4 days until you get your calories up to a good 800-1000 for most.

Thanks,! I called my dr and she told me to start full liquids. Just made some super soupy cream of wheat. It's the most delicious thing in the entire world.

ikr, @mommyjamie that first bite of "real" food afterwards is heavenly! but as you know, you are completely normal... once you start on the solids you may experience constipations (written about a LOT on here) so you may want to add Miralax or something when that happens! Just to warn you....

Be careful. Constipation usually follows. And its bad. Like Fukushima bad. Be sure to address it early.

I used miracle fiber in my shakes. Its just a clear tasteless powder from the Vitamin shoppe. Aloe versa juice is good if you can stand it.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
