13 days post op. Questions.
The dr has me taking colace twice a day. As of yesterday I started having diahreah. Today more loose stool. I'm getting in water so I'm not concerned about dehydration. I was so glad to finally go yesterday as it was almost a week without having a bowel movement. Anyone else have this? Also, 13 days out and down 21lbs.
I am 3 years post op and I still take miralax daily for constipation. Its a common problem. I don't now about the diarrhea. That was never my problem.
Great job - 21 pounds down already. That's a lot of weight even for one month, so don't be distressed by the common three-week stall.
best wishes,
Carol

i am getting ready to do the mini sleeve and am looking for people experiences, especially folks who have had it for a while. How much fiber to do eat in a day? Just curious if there is a problem eating fiber or even if you eat 25-35 gm of fiber if constipation is still an issue. I know everyone is different for everyone but just curious.
Sometimes our body needs to get clean after not having BM for a while.
If that continue today... Call the doc...
Also, some people become lactose intolerant after WLS. So - if you current diet has milk or anything with lactose - that may cause runs.
