Weird Question
Yes...check with your doctor. You should be also taking calcium citrate (not calcium carbonate), chewable iron, probably 2 multivitamins, and somekind of B Complex. Also a B-12, B-1, folic acid, and vitamin D. These may not be options. Many people (including men) are coming up very short on all of these vitamins and are having issues in some ways with each of these areas. Again, check with the doc. Don't wait for an issue to come up on any of these. People will have a problem with say B-12. They start taking it, but the damage has been done and they can not fully recover from the effects. No more "sort of feel like doing it" anymore. After being on these boards for awhile, I have heard and seen many problems arise from not being on top of these areas. Brian
There can be a couple of causes for Green Poop.
The first one is caused by eating something green,
like if someone eats a lot of broccoli or such.
(Probably not the case for you at 2 weeks,
unless you’ve had a lot of lime Jell-O? Popsicles?
The second cause it the one that’s most likely
for an early-post-op WLS Patient.
Not enough time in the digestive tract to fully process the food.
Green bile from the liver typically changes to brown
as components in it are absorbed in the large intestine.
If you’ve got some liquid-y stools going on,
(Which is common for early out post-ops)
Then the Green Bile is showing up in its un processed green glory.
If the full liquid or pureed food is what you are putting in
More than likely it’s making the trip through the guts
And into the toilet before it has had time for bacteria
to finish the digestion process.
Green poop is not cause for alarm.
It’s pretty common after any surgery on the guts,
Even more so for those of us who’ve had our chitlins’ edited.
Hang in there.
All of this gets much easier each week!
