the poops

teebutterfly · March 20, 2008

Okay, this might be a dumb question, but I try it anyway! I have been able to pass gas okay which is big relief aftering being banded monday and have stuck to my post-op liquid diet faithfully.

So when do we start pooping? Or do we if we're only on liquids since you're not taking in anything w/ any real bulk? Should I be worried?

Tee:rolleyes2:

I had the squirts pretty bad. liquid in liquid out. Now I am on mushies I have been having better bm's. You gotta remember that you will be taking in about 1/4 of the food you used to so you should be dropping the deuce about 1/4 as much.

I was also banded on Monday and havent yet either although I figured it was due to only being on liquids.. I figured next week when I get some actual substance in me that I will see it..

hoping someone else knows.. now Im worrying..

SWEET! I click on "new posts" and this is the very first thing on the list!

liquids in = Liquids out. It will get better once you start adding food back into your diet. Hang in there, it's only temporary.

I also had the squirts pretty bad for about 1-1/2 weeks, then after one major explosion during the night I didn't go like for 6 days, at that time I had started creamy stuff so by the 7th day, DROP IT LIKE IT"S HOT!!! lol....

Don't worry, your doing fine.
