I believe I've come to the right place to ask a question about poo....

So my very good friend who is helping me through the surgery has been asking questions to people he knows who have been through the surgery to get an understanding about WLS and what to expect. One lady told him that he poo looked like chicken fat for a few months after surgery.....this totally cracked me up. I wonder if it is true....

No, not true for me or anyone that I know. Not at all.

Can't say that my poo ever looked like chicken fat ... ever.  Now, little pebbles and LARGE rocks (aka butt nuggets) that's a different story!

I hate butt nuggets!  Specially the rocky ones.  But I love Terri because she always knows the right way to describe it.  Butt Nuggets!  Mine even float.

I think they were referring to the 'oil slick' poo. If you eat too much fat (it varies by person) you will get loose stool/diarreah... because we malabsorb fat the fat will float to the top of the bowl and leave a lovely chunky lookin oil slick on top - Im going assume this is what they meant? I know when I cook chicken the fat sort of floats off it in the pan and looks the same as the oil slick poo - just different color.

I guess it could, if someone has a high fat diet. But I am not sure. My poo is brown and smells like dog **** sorry if that is tmi, but you asked. LOL
