LEELANDIV-My takedown was 4/28/15. I am doing good as far as 3-4 BM a day, however some days it can go up to 6-8. From keeping track i can tell it' s either eggs, steak or turkey burger. Will you please share your typical daily menu? 

I cannot reply to your q in it's entirety as I have an ileo. I could have a j pouch, but...I was offered a 1 step procedure, but the doc left. So, I am replying because I have an ileo and eat Turkey burgers, eggs, and steak lol. Ever try a salmon burger? They make them. First off, I want to applaud you for your success. If I read people like you when I had my ileo....11 years ago...I would have pulled the trigger. 3-4 a day is really ideal, with 6-8 being an average. So I think, not to steal charlie sheen's words, you are winning! Ok, so to answer your question, keep tracking. One week just eat one without the others( I don't mean just eat turkey burgers, or eggs, or steak lol ). I mean one week, if you normally eat 8-16 oz of steak....do not eat eggs or a turkey burger. Next week eat eggs( as normal ) without the Turkey burger or steak. However, if I had to guess.....based on my eating....Steak. Steak will slowly digest through your body, making it harder to absorb in some, and clog you up...well people with colons anyway. Just a known fact with bodybuilders. Understand a bodybuilder before competition does not want ANY abnormality...including slow digested steak that makes a stomach fill out. Sometimes if you have something that clogs, your fluids will tend to go through. I know when I had a blockage this would happen. However, keep eating healthy and congrats on your success that is more ideal and sometimes average. I mean, you can make an argument for whatever. Eggs, do they create gas and bloat you? I think if you payed a visit to those questions, you might find your answer. I know I can eat fish, and many servings of rice in one serving...banging in over 1100 calories in one meal on those two foods. However, another person might this is insane....too much fish...too much carbs....and find they need smaller meals. I never attuned to smaller meals. I would how I just layed it out. I start of small, during the day get normal, and end eat bigger. Like normal people do in the sense of Breakfast, Lunch, and dinner. Note..I also drink egg white protein powder, no problems.
