Yeah it's totally normal.. I'm 5 mos out and I usually go once a week. I take Fiber gummies too. I wouldn't worry about it unless you're feeling really uncomfortable, then maybe talk to your doctor about a laxative

I don't understand the math. "At least twice a day" and "At least 3 to 4 times a week" isn't adding up. 14 BM's a week....you were spending some quality time on the porcelain throne.

Anyway.....reduced frequency of bowel movements is something that all wls patients have experienced. We eat less....we pass less through our systems. Also the type of foods we eat is more efficiently utilized by our bodies...at least that's my limited experience with VSG.

Always great to confirm such with your doctor like you are planning.
