I'm hoping that you mean BOWEL movements..not bile movements. Yellow bowel movements, after weightloss surgery is usually indicating you are eating a lot of FAT. You are the only one who knows what you put into your mouth.

Thank you, of course I meant bowel movements.  Yes, I do consume a lot of fat.  I feel better now that  I have an inkling as to why this is happening.  I try to stay away from the carbs..  Thanks for the correction and thoughts.  Now that I have the right spelling bowel vs bile I may be able to find more information.  LOL

...curious to hear what medical professionals have said about it at follow-up appointments?  Do you consume artificial sweeteners daily?  Guessing constipation isn't an issue?  Tracking food intake and output is one suggestion to help you find a pattern.  The other is to ask your doctor(s) for ideas and guidance.

I can't speak for all post-ops, but my BM's are never yellow. What does your doctor say? How has your bloodwork been over the last 3 years? Do you have problems with your gallbladder, liver, or pancreas?
