Does orange oil spots in potty mean i'm eating too much fat?

I'm just over two weeks out and have had cheese to bind me up.  I got constipated so I ate the toppings of pizza minus the bread and after my bm there were orange grease spots like on pizza in the toilet.  Am I eating too much fat?

It means your DS is working!!!
Now, remember, "never trust a fart".

so true!!

It means your DS is working.  You are not absorbing the fat from the pizza toppings.   I don't get "orange slicks" much at all these days, except, for some odd reason, the week after my period, but you will get them for a while.  Just take care not to go way overboard on fat at first...give your body time to adjust, or those orange slicks will end up in your underwear too! 

No, that just shows that some fat is going through you. This is normal because we only absorb about 20% of the fat we take in. You just had more fat than usual.

Did this fix your constipation? If so, you've discovered the magic of adjusting your fat intake to regulate your bowels.

In my experience, cheese does not bind. If it has enough fat in it, it's a perfect food for me.

I went from having DHR 10 times a day on the shakes to constipation for three days once i started soft solids.  I told my surgeon at the 2 week post op appointment about the debate about fat vs. low fat on this website and how some felt higher fat foods helped them lose weight.  He was adamant that higher fat foods do not cause DSers to lose weight unless they eat so much they get as he put it, "oil slicks" and get dehydrated from DHRing so much. Anyway, to answer your quesion, I thought some fat would help with the constipation and it did.  I just freaked out it was too much and fear of gaining.

You will absolutely NOT gain weight from eating fat with the DS. Your surgeon is full of crap. You'll gain weight from overeating carbs. How nice that he learned how to do the procedure but doesn't have a clue about how it works.

Yes, surgeons are good for cutting. 

No need to freak,  You know you could not gain from that fat!  You saw for yourself the fat you ate was absolutely not going straight to your thighs.  It went in and then went directly out ...  and down the drain.  Silly surgeon.  Some think they have to scare us to keep us on track, sigh.  Just keep following your own DS rules and you will be fine.  Good for you for figuring out a trick that will help when you get constipated.  

This may not be the case for you, but for me, I get a few days or a week or so of constipation during a certain point in my hormone cycle.  While in the rapid WL phase, my hormones were so messed up that periodic constipation was just part of my recovery.  I pretty much have to wait it out.  But it does kind of freak me out cause now that my WL has slowed, I may gain a pound or 5 during the constipated week.  But, like clockwork, those pounds disappear as I move out of one hormonal phase and into the next.

Please enjoy your fat guilt free.  I have a longer CC (150cm) so I was so worried earlier out, that I would have less malabsorption and would need to watch my fat much more closely than other DSers.  That has not proven to be true.  For me, a generous amount of fat keeps me happy, healthy and on track.

I am starting to see that I do this too--several days of constipation, and then later a week of several movements a day. Always the same hormone weeks. Glad to know I'm not alone. Thanks for posting about it!!
