No it's actually a LOT worse ... ya gotta swipe nasty things that make you want to puke out of the toilet... and we're talking three big glass vials and something that basically like a Kitty box in the toilet for collecting poo !!!!
Call me a child but I can't do it . I barf like literally thinking about collecting these samples. 
They sent me a fecal test kit to put up
my butt and send back in the MAIL!!!! 
That's not how at home fecal tests work. You don't stick anything up your butt. Make sure to read the directions completely or it may not be accurate.

Your post about alcohol is interesting.
I'm the LAST person and the " bad grrl " on this site to criticize anyone especially myself.
I'm just NOT a Midwestern grrl ... I grew up in Manhattan on my own on tough streets in interesting times ... I totally relate to Vinyl for instance ... the thing is I've been very very honest with you .... and sometimes I think you can't handle it .
It's not necessarily that I have a better life than you ... it has totally so much pressure you have no idea .
And being sick right now like ALL the time sucks so bad and really scares me .
I actually hardly drink but it really does affect me a lot and I'd prefer to get more calories from food . It's not like I'm flopping around in public being a drunk .... not at all .
I like my glass of wine with dinner and I actually think it's healthy.
I'm not so sure about day drinking and shots in my morning coffee ... but again I'm relentlessly honest because what's the point of not being that ?
to be honest Covid has changed a lot for me . I was bored , lonely....
You know many years ago i worked as a personal trainer ( actually manager of that desk ) in a very reputable and expensive Manhattan gym .
We used to put people in a pool and also measure and pinch them to get an accurate estimate of body fat ....
But may I ask you what I asked my clients? What are your actual goals ?
Do you want to look and feel younger and stronger or do you just want to lose weight and dress size or are you interested in becoming that fit muscular grrl or guy ?
Because every path to your chosen goal is slightly different... so let's get there FAST ... let you feel successful and like your efforts really made a difference.

If I could do moderation - I would need a WLS. Unfortunately I learned that I can't do moderation when it comes to some foods. Sugar. carbs, starches, including fruits- the more I eat them, the more I want them. Plus when I'm not restricting carbs, I get hungry more, more often and somehow they make my pouch less sensitive to food. I can eat more volume when I eat carbs.
another thing: alcohol. I never had issues with moderating alcohol before WLS. I could sip 1 glass of wine during an evening, and sometimes not even fini**** And I often did not care if I had a drink or not. Now, post op RNY my body processes alcohol differently, I get tipsy-drunk very fast, it wears off even faster and I want more. I have a problem controlling how much I drink when I start drinking. A while back I decided that it's easier and better for me and my liver not to have any alcohol. I NEVER thought I would have that issue. Please be careful with alcohol.

Yes, you should be more careful while eating, or deciding your meal.
After surgery and you're home, go easy on yourself.
