UPDATE

Hello everyone. I have not been on this site in a while, but I thought I would update you on how I was doing. I am now 9 1/2 months out of surgery and have lost a grand total of 226 pounds. I am working out 4-5 times a week and am doing very well. The only question I would have for some of you experienced people is that when I go to the bathroom, it has been very soft and almost runny for a week now and it has happened before, but went away after a couple days. Does this mean maybe not enough protein or something? My goal is really only another 60 pounds and l will be really happy, although am very happy at this point. I also joined the new group in Camden and it was really good and received a lot of information.

Congrats on the weight loss. Sounds like you need to add some fiber to your diet, try that. If it doesn't help, call doc.

Congratulations on your weight loss. With the runny stools, could it be related to fat, sugar or sugar alcohol intake? Some have related that problem as a post-op. But like Dianne said, I wouldn't play around with the symptoms for too long before calling the doc to see if they have any insight.

Joe, I don't know the answer but my stool is that way at times too. I am 9 months out. It was really nice meeting you at the meeting. You are really an inspiration to all. Keep up the good job. See you lighter. Joanne
