YELLOW STOOLS
I'm hoping that you mean BOWEL movements..not bile movements. Yellow bowel movements, after weightloss surgery is usually indicating you are eating a lot of FAT. You are the only one who knows what you put into your mouth.

Thank you, of course I meant bowel movements. Yes, I do consume a lot of fat. I feel better now that I have an inkling as to why this is happening. I try to stay away from the carbs.. Thanks for the correction and thoughts. Now that I have the right spelling bowel vs bile I may be able to find more information. LOL
...curious to hear what medical professionals have said about it at follow-up appointments? Do you consume artificial sweeteners daily? Guessing constipation isn't an issue? Tracking food intake and output is one suggestion to help you find a pattern. The other is to ask your doctor(s) for ideas and guidance.
If you've been having yellow bowel movements for three years, it seems to be normal for you.

I can't speak for all post-ops, but my BM's are never yellow. What does your doctor say? How has your bloodwork been over the last 3 years? Do you have problems with your gallbladder, liver, or pancreas?
