BMI...I know...BUt a question

 I am 9 weeks out and the first bowel movement I had was, well, lets just say almost impossible.  So I take benefiber now everyday and that works GREAT!!  My question is this:  Since my RNY my bowel movements are very light, not brown, is this normal? I eat a lot of salads now too and veggies.

The difficult bowel movements are common.  Benefiber is great but make sure you keep you liquids up.  Otherwise fiber can make it really hard and quite painfull.  I take a dose of Miralax a day, 2 stool softeners and 500mgs of magnesium twice a day with my calcium to keep things moving.

I am not so sure about the color but I am worried about your eating lots of salads and veggies at only 9 weeks out.  Are you getting in your protein in addition to the salad and veggies? 

 Yep, getting in all my protein too.  I say I eat LOTS, but of course how much can one eat with RNY...lol.  I was always a salad lover and have added it back into my diet and am able to eat a small salad with my protein. I snack on raw veggies, if I snack at all.

Excellent!  I kinda figured it was something like that but wanted to double check.  Hate to see someone missing their protein.
