The shape and texture of the stools varies with dietary intake. So, what you are describing is not unusual. Keep hydrated to avoid constipation and eat plenty of fiber. Best of luck to you!

It is not unusual for the shape and consistency of this tall to change with a change in diet. This is not abnormal at all. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids, and consider trying to increase the fiber in your diet for the health of your digestive tract. Congratulations on the weight loss and the improved diet. Your body will thank you in the long run!
