Poop

[willdamanager 30]

How was your poop the 1st time post op?

Had mine today and it was half and half. Not full blown diarrhea. Is this cuz of the liquid diet? I just started phase 2 yesterday.

I have only had a small amount since my surgery on the 24th of Oct. Last night I had a bad night because I was so backed up...which I'm sure happened because of the pain meds.

I wasn't even on pain meds when I left hospital that I was taking before about 4x a day. Stopped all my meds the day I left. I had surgery October 3rd and have had 3 bms since. My dr doesn't seem concerned just sat take colace and Miralax. Those 3 came only after mom and enemas. Tmi I know.

What goes in must come out, and lots of us are just on liquids...That's how I'm trying to think of it

I have noticed that I only poop after I've had long walks. Seriously I have literally run to the loo afterwards. Walk as much as you can!!

When I'm pooping I'm losing. When I'm not pooping the scale doesn't want to move.

Same here. I had chronic diarrhea for 13 years from my gallbladder surgery. The first 3 weeks post op, I went on the reg, consistancy better than preop but still on the loose side of things.

Since i started eating more food and less Protein drinks I go a small amount every couple of days. Inbetween days its 0.4-0.6lbs down, go days 1.5lbs or more.

A poop thread!

Surgery was 10/25 and I had loose stools pre op and a fast the day before... it (poop) happened today . I'm a nurse married to a doctor so we have seen and hear about plenty of poops over the years. My premier post sleeve poop sounded like I was dropping rockets into the bowl and looked like Progresso Italian wedding Soup with extra meatballs. I feel SO SO SO much better now!

Thanks for letting me share!

I have had regular Constipation since surgery. I have tried prune juice and that doesn't help. I bought "smooth move" herbal tea today. Hopefully this helps.
