THIS IS SO EMBARASSING

Is anyone having an issue with bms? I swear I am only going once a week. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I dont go very often anymore either..................I think its because we are SO use to going alot because we use to eat so DARN much LOL............ If your not having any pain or bloating then I wouldnt worry about it.........

Thanks katie so I am not losing my mind.

I am only going about once a week myself. I think its pretty normal. Sometimes I find I dont go for a week, then I will go two days in a row. then not for a week again. The answer is of course more fibre. I added bran flakes to my diet this morning. I think I will try to have them every other day or so. Becky

i totally hear you on this one!!! i only go once a week most weeks as well...........it will feel like i have to go but then nuttin' comes out...ugggh......

Hey Veronica, we had our surgery the same day! At first, I was not going but once a week or so. Here lately, I go about every 3-5 days. Not anything regularly, but not enough to cause discomfort either. I did get constipated once. Glad I haven't done that again! Denise

Hey Veronica! I wouldn't worry about it....first of all, not embarassing at all. We can talk about anything here....we've all been there and know where you are coming from. Secondly, take into consideration the amount of food you are able to eat now, there isn't enough for more than that more than likely. I agree if you aren't in pain or bloating, you're fine. Pam

Hey y'all, I don't know whether RNYers can do prunes, but my doctor said I could, and they keep everything on the normal side for me. Just a suggestion for you, but four little prunes a day really changed things for me. Oh, and even though the doctor said I would go less often now, I still have a bm about once a day, and the little prunes just help things go more smoothly. Hope this helps. Oh, and Veronica, no embarrassment. I swear there's nothing in life this group won't talk about. It's about the safest place in the webiverse. Take care everyone! Cindy
