Thanks for the tip, Stool softener like pills? Or powder?

Yeah - it was over a week before my first BM and it was PAIN - FUL (to say the least). Luckily, that's the only issue I had...have been regular since.

I took pils but haven't had any problems taking them. You can also do benifiber but the pills will be an immediate help. I've had two more since then and still incredibly painful. I take two a day and will continue until its not agonizing anymore!

Hi everyone!

I had surgery done 2 weeks ago. It hasn't been easy but it's a journey right?

I had no BM at all until yesterday (and only 'cause my doctor prescribed an organic laxative.)

Well... I have a question and it will be nasty, so sorry to ask it here but I haven't found any answer online and have no idea where else to ask.

Today I went to the bathroom and my stools were very soft (I'll say liquid) and the were floating (I know, disgusting.) They were like a floating web... Is it possible I'm loosing fat through my stools? Has anyone else experienced this? I once had some massages done to break the fat and I remember it coming out on my pee and stools, but I didn't know it was possible for fat to break down and be eliminate through BM by just dieting. Does anyone know?

Thanks and sorry again for such a nasty question :/
