30 minutes of awakening. Usually that is it for the day, unless I'm

eating a lot, in which case I might have another BM in the evening. I

don't get diarrhea any more now than I did as a pre-op (seldom). My

normal stool now is softer than pre-op, and can be smellier, but not

always, and it's never so bad that a spritz of run-of-the-mill (Glade

Potpourri is what I have in the bathroom right now, I think) can't

eradicate. I am 22 months post-op now. Early post-op, I did go through

an adjustment phase where the BMs were looser and less predictable and

smellier. Things have progressively improved; at this point my gut is

well-adapted and is not problematic at all. Hope this helps!

months out (from about1 month post-op). I had IBS/spastic colon but was

constipated and never had diahhrea as a pre-op.
