So I'm having a sort of crisis here. After four days of nothing, my bowels have decided to have a rowdy pre-Labor Day pool party. Apparently I didn't get the invitation. :wub:

Have had to take a couple of showers and change my clothes. Not fun! Any brilliant ideas? I made an appointment with my follow-up doctor for tomorrow morning, but I would like to get through the night and still have a modicum of dignity left.

as i told you before silly girl ........, i was #2 queen and lived in the bathroom. after talking to my surgeon, immodium a.d was suggested and def helped this ole gal. (as was me taking a daily probiatic capsule) i opened it and put in my Protein shake. def helped with #2 pool parties

def keep drinking as you need to stay hydrated...sip sip sip (sf popsicles etc)

It kind of extra sucks because my husband is in NYC today so I'm totally on my own again. Supposed to pick up my son from a play date, but I ain't leaving the house! I also can't get Immodium so I'll just sip sip sip. Can't be THAT much left! LOL

my lord, let me get on my flying carpet and come up there from NC and take care of my friend

if you are able, can you make a pit stop when you get son from play date? if not, maybe after?????? anyhow, get it as soon as you can...you will be fine my darling, i promise.

Would you want to be invited to that pool party?

Bahahaha! Let's just say I wish I had been given a two-minute warning!

Oh boy. That is serious !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes I wish that was my problem. Instead I have constipation. I don't think I know whats worse. Nuts seem to be my friend as far as that goes. Good Luck!!

Yay! A friend who had LB surgery last year is gonna come over and bring me some Immodium. Continue as you were.... :-)

I kep some peptobismol around too- I think some times now in the heat we may eat some unwanted bacteria,, keep and eye on it.

I feel your pain bee blue......I am having the same problem. thanks for posting now i know what to do....immodium is on its way!

Wow, I'm doing the opposite. Im taking lots of fiber to GO!!

My friend brought over some little Immodium pills. I broke them in half and over an hour or so I took one and a half. Did the trick!

Glad you're doing better!

For future reference Immodium makes a chewable. I keep them in my medicine cabinet as a regular staple. You never know when a pool party is going to start.
