Do you lose weight if you Poop

So I was just wondering if you take a healthy bowel movement can you lose weight?

I bet some, yeah! I doubt very much. But like @@VGS Vixen said, weigh and find out!

The answer is a resounding yes. You are expelling matter from your body and matter has weight. I have weighed myself before and after many times and there is a different, but usually it's ounces I've never had a scenario where it has shown more than a half lb. difference.

If you just pass gas will you get heavier?

Since gas is used to make balloons float?

If you are regular then you won't see much of a difference. If you are bound up like you just ate an entire 20 pound cheese wheel then you will lose weight when you poop.

I used to be a very regular pooper. I had dumping syndrome prior to surgery due to intestinal neuropathy caused by chemo. So not a fun long-term side effect. However, it seems to be the only thing helping me since I was sleeved! Since I was sleeved on 12/7 I have a tough time with this, but when I do finally go its liquid. Very weird. But I DO loose weight! LOL

Any time you expel matter from your body, you lose weight. The amount of weight will vary. Some people are so full of you know what that they could practically disappear with a healthy bowel movement. The truth of the matter though, is that you will lose more weight from taking a healthy leak than pooping. But in either case, you will lose weight.
