Poop Survey??
I am only at 3.5wks and hopefully my potty experiences will change.
Before starting supplementation, I went 1-2 times a day in the AM and they would be soft formed brown plops. Since supplementation started one week ago, I have moved onto constipation. I don't go everyday. They are hard formed, large, dark greenish black and difficult to pass.
I was actually thinking of doing another post to get some advice on what to do about this.

Try adding as much fat as you can tolerate at 3.5 weeks post-op. Yup, the iron and calcium do that to me too. But if I keep my fat at 100g or more, its passes quickly.
This isn't a solution for EVERY constipation problem, but it helps me.

I went into a few constipation episodes. They were the most horrible experiences EVER. I tried stool softeners but didn't work. I got some advice from Ginger K (DS Board) to try magnesium. I started taking two tablets per day and the constipation went away luckily. I don't take them any more now, but may be something to think about if your starting to get constipation.
Does anybody else notice that it smells similar to what you ate? Like when I eat smoked foods, garlic, anything distinctive in odor.
Love the survivor poops. Now I know for sure I'm not eating much, because there's nothing big enough to stick a flag in going on here. My sleeve is way small and very tight.

I gotta believe it's the malabsorption. Generally, I don't look. I'm a courtesy flusher, big time. Copious amounts of air freshener, turning on the ceiling fan and opening a window, too, before I even think about opening the door to the normie population in my home.
