DS vs RNY Poop

I hear RNYers saying that they believe that they're no longer malabsorbing and that got me thinking.  Does your poop volume reduce in that case?  Somebody guestimated that DSers poop 5 times the volume of that of a normie which I'd say is fair and I therefore believe I'm still malabsorbing (even if my honeymoon does appear to be over).

Anyway I was just curious.

TIA

  I love poop talk so I can use this little guy.

I have always been a multi time a day pooper, Still am.  But I'm sure I eat more than the normal RNYer of fiberous veggies.  I don't know 3 yrs out if it is more or less than before surgery, certainly more than right after but I can eat more than I could before.  I don't think I am malaborbing any more but I don't think I am pooping any less.

Thanks Price, I thought this was going to be TMI for this board. As a DSer I DEFINITELY poop more. Maybe I'll have to post a separate thread on how things are for vet DSers.

Like Price, it was less in the beginning because of the little consumption. Shortly thereafter, I began experienced very large poops, at four years out, I'm back to small poops.

As a kid, we had milk cows that pooped less than I do after having the DS.  And that is saying something.

I worry about my septic system, and I'm the only one who lives here.

VSG here. My poops are bigger in size. I don't know if the frequency has changed. I don't pay enough attention to really be able to really tell. I mean I don't measure them or log them, so... mail But the increase in size has been rather obvious!
