A little TMI.....It's ok not to poop in the first weeks. Day 3 post-op I poop black sludge...Yuck. After that nothing else until I went for my 2 week post-op appt, but I was only taking in protein shakes and water. Once I started eating some food guess what...............let the poop gates flood. Now I am so regular 2x daily. It will happen give it time and eat some food (when you are ready).

I am so happy for you. Get some rest and I hope you poop soon.

Your switch sister,
Frankie

Yep intake as much fat as you can. Be mindful you will see an oil slick, bugged me out the first time I saw it. Just note that the poop will slide out and so will the margarine LOL.

Renee,

I too am so GLAD that I never gave up, either (even though I had MANY doubts I could survive the insurance battle).

Tears of joy

Welcome home Jamie. Welcome to the dark side and I am glad you are doing well. I look forward to hearing updates.

Nothing feels better than being able to go into ANY store and fit their clothes!
