That is how I feel today...like I have been o. The toilet all day long. I am 8 days post op and feel much better than I expected but this potty thing kind of took me by surprise. Did anyone else e periwnce this? Today starts my increase in protein to 60 grams from 30 so maybe that's it. Please just tell me this is normal and will get better soon.

​I hate to tell you this, but apparently this is a very common side effect and may get worse with increased Protein. Once you can add more Fiber from vegetables it should hopefully ease up a bit. Talk to your doctor about what you can take to help - mine suggested Colace twice a day. Doesn't always help and I have to take Milk of Magnesia too.

So I just had my surgery Wednesday. I am shocked at my poo. It smells like it came from a nursing home resident who crapped their pants several days ago. OMG I might hurl just thinking about it!
