BigViffer 3,544 Posted December 2, 2015 i do notice that being regular means im in a losing stage. if i aint poopin i aint losin. I find this is true as well. My surgeon backed it my suspicion saying that you have to evacuate the waste (fat). So come on men, let us poop our selves thin! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan TN 348 Posted December 5, 2015 I am using the stool every time, and it is literally tuning into stop, drop, plop. I use about 1/4 of the TP that I used to use as well. At this point I don't care how ridiculous the name is nor how I look on the pot, the thing works. I hope that it works for anyone on here who decides to buy one!I bought one of those stools. I'm sold on it too. It works! For any future people looking at this thread, just letting you know they sell the squatty potty at bed, bath, and beyond. I didnt want to wait for shipping from Amazon.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJDad 173 Posted December 7, 2015 i do notice that being regular means im in a losing stage. if i aint poopin i aint losin. I find this is true as well. My surgeon backed it my suspicion saying that you have to evacuate the waste (fat). So come on men, let us poop our selves thin! And here I thought I was the only one that was seeing that :-) I notice that if I don't go for a few days, the weight loss stalls. So the relief from going is twofold. The physical relief in actually going.....and the mental relief of knowing the stall is ending. Ron White has a great line about this....... You ever take a crap so big, your pants fit better? Anybody ever do that? You ever... I'm hoping that happens to me later tonight, 'cause these babies don't fit anymore. I'm hoping I'm one big turd away from backing into an old wardrobe. I had seen this a long time ago and laughed.......I saw it again online now that I am a few years into my weight loss and laughed my ass off. It is so true.

ojibway 203 Posted June 28, 2016 I drop the boys off at the pool a couple of times a day, waiting to see how surgery will effect me? I should have surgery late Aug or early Sept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cfipilot 44 Posted June 29, 2016 Squaty potty is awesome. 9days post op and been pooping everyday since day 4. I was always the type to poop multiple times a day, I was scared that after the surgery I would lose that. But looks like it just down to once a day. I like my time in the bathroom, I mean how else am I suppose to read all the junk mail. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cube68 70 Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) I started out having a difficult time pooping, but now I have a very different problem. I'm a little over 1 1/2 years post surgery, VSG, and for the past couple months, I mostly have diarrhea. The odd thing is I will go to the bathroom, think everything is out, but then with in 5 minutes of leaving, I am running back in for a second wave. Happens EVERY time. Anyone having a similar thing happening? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Edited June 29, 2016 by cube68 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
