How often do you pooh?

I only pooh once a week. It doesn't bother me. Do you think this is ok? Karen

Karen, I think I would talk to your doctor about this. Once a week doesn't sound often enough to properly remove waste from your body. I go pretty much once a day...sometimes I skip a day. Early on I went about every other day, occasionally skipped 2 days..never as rare as once a week though! By five months post-op you should be eating enough to be going at least every other day I'd say! Call your doctor! Kathy

I go every couple of days... I've had a little trouble with constipation, but not bad. When I was really eating bigtime I used to go 4-6 times a day! This has been a big change. I'd check in with my doc if I was only going once a week... perhaps he/she will tell you it's normal for you, but it won't hurt to check it out.

Every 3-5 days. It varies greatly. I'm still not eating a lot compared to most of you. 3-5 oz meat and after that yogurt, cottage cheese, jello, and protein shakes. Not much waste in all of that. I take fiber daily (liquid soluble, clear stuff) but then I've had to do that for a decade.

I go about ever few days. I've gone as long as 5 without a BM, but that's not often. Sounds as if you're not getting enough of SOMETHING in. I'd check with your doc.
