TMI? I have to ask!

ten days out from sleeve.... Will I ever have a normal BM again? will I be able to fart and burp again? These were not things I thought of or observed being discussed before surgery.

what a "Normal" BM looks like might be different from what is was before surgery. I had a different surgery...but farting has definitely returned full force! If you want to fart/burp....keep walking and take some chewable gas-x!

Restoralax/Miralax is your friend! Its gentle and dissolves in water or coffee/tea. Once you're cleared to take it drink it daily and it'll keep you as close to the BMs of old as possible. Might take 2-3 days to kick in but it works. And its gentle. This, too, shall pass!

I had RNY 10 days ago and farting burping and BMs are all back to normal for me.

I started taking Miralax on Day 3 after my release (was ok'd by surgeon's office) and that does keep me feeling 'normal'.  So far it seems that once I got myself going, keeping up with the Miralax (1/2 cap) a day has continued to keep me regular.

lol I have no problem going.it's just not solid is all

I don't know what your post-op diet plan is, but i had the "pour out of me" diarrhea probably every other day for the first two weeks. All liquid in = all liquid out!

Of course you will, once you get healed....you'll poop like a goat or a rabbit for several months...you might also have instant runs so "never trust a fart"....then it will become somewhat normal. everyone's normal is a little different.

Thanks for an honest open answer!

Love this post.  Post op I needed help; miralax and milk of magnesia.  I continued miralax for 2-3 weeks but now only take stool softener and a glycerin suppository as needed.  All is regular.  

Burping I do if I eat too fast.  Farting seems to be BIG each morning.
