I feel like the only one with this problem (TMI)

TMI warning!!!

I'm 14 months post-op today and for the last 8 or 9 months I clog a toilet at least 3 times a month because my BMs are unusually large compared to pre-op. I'm not talking amount, I'm talking size. I eat Fiber One nearly everyday just to keep things moving, but a week before to a week after my period I find that I've become the Chronic Toilet Clogger. This gets embarrassing especially at work because we only have 2 staff toilets for 30 some people. I don't know what to do about this! Am I eating too much fiber or something?

simple enough to test. Just switch to fiber every other day for 2 weeks and see what changes occur.

you might find that the fiber is only need a couple times a week to keep everything moving smoothly.

Often, wls people have an on/ off record of eliminating.
I think that means occasionally, ahem, things get very firm. And unusually larger.
At the risk of tmi... some of us need a tool to “break up” these eliminations to flush.
I have exchanged info and learned: some use chopsticks (easier to toss), tongs, skewers, plastic utensils..... you get the idea ... use your resources and happy flushing! ( what a strange post!)
