When is the constant "pooing" supposed to kick in?
Uh, I am seven years out, and the only time I've had "constant pooing" is when I've eaten something really stupid - like an entire bag of Jelly Bellys. I go about three times a day, and the volume is larger than pre-op. I've been maintaining a 146 pound weight loss now for six years.

Perhaps its an issue of not eating a ton, because I know that I am not. However, I didn't go the first time until 10 or 11 days post op. Now, I am going either a small amount 1 time per day or a small amount every other day. That doesn't sound like anything I've read from other's experiences. It makes me concerned.
That's normal because you are not eating a lot right now. As time goes on, you will eat more food per day. Then the BMs kick in.
Everyone is different. I went and went, then the vitamins made me constipated (which was a nice change). That lasted for a couple of months, then multiple BMs again.
It swings back and forth depending on the vitamins I take, the types of food I eat, and now the probiotics I take.
Ummmm, no.
I do a giant poo in the morning and that's it for me. No constant pooing, and it's not the key to your weight loss. Your metabolism has been altered, and your rate of absorption is changed with it.
