Just keeping it real....Poop question...

Got a poop question for those of you that might know. For the past three weeks (since 3/14) I've had green poop. Every day... and I am pooping A LOT. 2-3 times a day. It is not exactly diarrhea, but i would say it is diarrhea-ish... if that makes sense.

I will be four years post op next Monday. I eat three meals per day, with one snack (protein, veggies, fruit and healthy carbs/starches; no sugar). I've had a pretty successful run post-op, with only minor stomach problems if I don't take my prilosec regularly. If I dont take it regularly I get stomach pains and can feel the acid spill out of my pouch into my belly/stomach... (sorry this is just such a pleasant post!).

I got checked for an ulcer in 2011 and everything was in great condition.

Thoughts on what this could be or if it is even related to my being a bariatric patient.

Lots of Love,
Autumn

Sounds pretty normal to me. My wife and I are both RNY and at times it seems like we can fill the silly toilet.

Think green just means it is going through quickly.

AH-HA! Maybe that's it! I've been drinking about a gallon of water each day flavored with grape crystal light! Maybe I don't need to worry so much...

Thanks!

Keep a log of what you're eating and how often you're pooping & consistency - then make an appt with a gastroenterologist. It may be nothing, and it's better to waste an appointment to hear you're fine, than to have something wrong and let it go too long.
