Staring on full liquids and bowel movements



Recommended Posts

So today was my first day of adding some full liquid (creamed strained soup) before then was strictly Water, Protein Water and Protein Shakes. My question is should bowl movements still be so watery? When does it start to get more solid during the pureed stage or soft food stage?

I didn't have solid movements until well into the soft food phase. Everyone is different though.

The more Protein you drink the more solid things should get. Just don’t let it back up and get too solid. Yes stage three is sooooo much better. I had chicken broth for my thanksgiving meal. At 2.5 weeks I did have a couple baby spoons of mashed potatoes and it was like heaven. 😎

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
