Today I didn't even feel the need to have a bowel. I was actually in bed sleeping. It was already to late when I felt weird and ran to the bathroom but left a trail from my bed, thru the living room, kitchen and until the bathroom. I was so embarrassed. The other day I had one epsoide but Idid make it to the bathroom but not in time to get on the toliet. But today was the worst no signs at all. I was up at 5 am going to the bathroom it wasn't runny at that time. Sorry for to much detail. But I am just freaking out over this. Even after I had a bowel of cereal had to go to the bathroom again but at least I made it there. Is this normal to have uncontrollable bowels after the TAH? I had the gastric bypass on July 28, 2009 and never experience this before. So i am assuming this is from my TAH. Not a way want to wake up on Sunday morning. I am so embarrassed by this.

One what is a TAH?

Do you take calcium or psyllium husks?

Add them into your diet or increase them and that will seriously help.

I take 8 calcium a day and 6 psyillium husks. You can take alot of psyillium up to 20 capsules a day. Just make sure the calcium is citrate NOT carbonate.

�This is why I don't think I will get the Distal Gastric Bypass.. I don't think I want to live with these side-effects.. What do you think.. I need to lose 150 more lbs... to be around my goal weight.. but I don't know if I want to have the Distal Gastric Bypass because of things like this. Smelly farts and going to the bathroom 5 times a day..

Also the weight loss is unpredictable and not as fast as a RNY Gastric Bypass, right? SO I am just very unsure.
