Is this normal for RNY/WLS?? (M)

Is it normal for someone that is 6 days out to have very loose stool?  I dont "eat" anything yet, I'm just drinking the protein packages and all the water I can consume.  I know this is most likely normal, because I am only drinking things.. but had to ask to get some relief.. THanks Jodi

Jodi..... totally normal.  Liquid in - liquid out.  Things will get better once you start on solids. Jon

Thanks Jon for the quick responce.  I was telling my parents.  Father seemed concerned, but mother said "Well that means your surgery is working"  DUH.. should have thought of that!! 

But still needed reassurance!

THanks again...

Jodi

OK, gross moment coming: I remember 2 things very vividly post-op 1)  the relief and almost joy in finally farting 2)  the return of my normal bowel movements.   As John said, the liquid in, liquid out thing  Glad to hear things are going well! --Sax

:O) oh I'm so glad you said it first!!  I LOVE TO FART!!  (blushes)  It makes me feel extremly good.  Its a sigh of relief! Yes.. things are going well besides the 64 oz of liquid.  Working on it.. but have not reached it yet!  Thanks Sax for the gross moment ;O).  Much appreciated! Jodi :O)

Jodi,  Been following your journey.  Sounds like you're doing well.  Hey, don't complain about the loose stools, wait until they harden up like the first snowball in Michigan! I am excited for you.  I can tell you'll do well.   You remind me of me and I'm sure all of oldies can remember those first few months and all the newness and questions going on in our head. I am so grateful for this website and the people on it.  A question can be asked 100 times and everyone is very patient and answers you. We are here for you.   Blessings.

Thank you very  much.  Yes I have a very hard head and strong attitude and will do wonderful with this "tool" I have been given.  This is my second change at life and I am not going to do anything to screw it up!   Oh I can't weight for snow ball BM.  Lovely!! :O) I plan on coming back here all the time... Everyone has been wonderful in telling them their experiences so others know what to expect... THanksagain... Jodi
