The colour, the variation, the size... 💩 is a sensitive topic but we all do it...

So it’s been 2 weeks out of my surgery and
finally getting to have more firmer poops.

The problem is before they were very runny, and still are on the mushy side, but now they are more pale in colour almost to the point of yellowy clay like colour.

I have an appointment to see the dr covering for my dr and she is quite new out of college. I don’t think that she takes what I say quite seriously.

For example 2 weeks ago I told her that the nurse at the hospital said my heart was a bit tacky aka tachycardia. It continued on when I got home, and every once in a while it flutters.

I know it sounds like a panic attack but I’m quite sure mine isn’t... but anyways back to my poop...

So I know I know... don’t google your symptoms but I already know I have a gallstone issue but I haven’t been having any pain. I just did bloodwork so I imagine that if there is a problem it will come up on there...

Anyone know any remedies that have been working for you to firm up your 💩?

I needed Probiotics to get solid poops. They gave me antibiotics by IV in the hospital and I always need probiotics afterward.

My Dr said yellow, clay color is normal. He also said consistency varies among people. When I eat kale it turns really green. If I eat something a little fatty it appears greasy/oily.

Also, if you're still on liquids your poop won't be firm. I'd wait until you're on solid foods and then see how it is.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
