ashley1185 11 Posted January 30, 2018 I don’t mean to post tmi but sweet baby Jesus The first poo was my absolute flipping nightmare. Like... why didn’t anyone warn me 40 minutes crying on the toilet and now my entire body hurts. I would rather endure an extra two week of Clear Liquids than experience that again. Holy.... I’m actually mad the hospital didn’t give me stool softeners or something. Jerks... lol Gastric bypass 1/24/18 1 4 sleeved2win, FluffyChix, logicwand and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sadiebug 206 Posted January 30, 2018 I'm over a year out and I still vividly remember that first poo... My hospital had warned me about it but I don't feel like any warning could have prepared me for that! Now, the good news is that it gets better after this (mostly)! If you find you're still having trouble then talk to your doctor about adding in Miralax or something of those sorts to help out. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wanda A 73 Posted January 30, 2018 I agree! The first one was horrible. Sat there for 30 mins, crying and sweating! It was a total cardio workout! It does get better, I'm 2 months out and still use a softener daily. Good thing is a big one shows as a 1 lb loss on the scale!! 3 6 FluffyChix, Sadiebug, sleeved2win and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you find you're still having trouble then talk to your doctor about adding in miralax or something of those sorts to help out. So I'm 4 days out, considering milk of magnesia. Do you guys think i should do a half dose or full dose? Praying it works [emoji120] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashley1185 11 Posted February 18, 2018 I would do a full dose. I tried half because I was scared and it didn’t work. Drink it fast lol 2 1 FluffyChix, logicwand and Sleevedvee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffyChix 17,415 Posted February 18, 2018 Ok, everyone whose first poos were a nightmare, please tell me. Did you do 2 weeks non-cheating pre-op liquid diet? Did you do a pre-surgery bowel prep? Did you have RNY or VSG? TY! I'm trying to decide if I disobey my doc and do a bowel prep today and Clear Liquids tomorrow! LOL. My RD claims (but she's not had surgery), that with the RNY the first stool after liquids and surgery is usually runny. But you know, I'm a doubting Thomas! I have experience that says surgery + Fentanyl + Anesthesia = 1st poo of the devil himself! kthnxbye... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
