@wilklie Again, I'm the opposite! I'd rather give birth to an 8-pound turd than basically pee through my butt. Different folks, different butt problem preferences.

And I was thinking of someone eating a healthy, balanced diet years out from surgery, not garbage. At least I'm crossing my fingers that one day a balanced diet will leave me less, well, butt hurt. ;)

How long before MOM will start to work? I don't want it to start working while I am at the office as I want the privacy. I am literally starting to feel desperate and I have 10 days before I leave to go out of the country. My dr wants this resolved before then because the traveling will compound the issue (she is recommending traveling with a suppository :o ). I am scared of MOM after this thread.

MOM actually works for me within 2-3 hours. It isn't that bad to me. You are gridlocked to your toilet for 30 mins or so. It produces about 3 bowel movements for me within 24 hours of one dose. I take the Philips MOM. It's not painful for me at all. Good Luck!

The bottle says it will produce a bowl movement within a 1/2 hour to 9 hours, take before bed. Now WHY in the hell would I want to take something that is going to make me run my ass off, well no it needs to come along, run to the bathroom while I am trying to sleep? Drama? Perhaps there is a masochist who works there and the thought of people going Volcano and erupting in bed is amusing to them?

I have taken MOM three times. The first time produced a lot of rumbling, no poop. The second time was like Mt St Helens, I just exploded, the third time, not a whole lot. That third time btw, was 4 hours ago. I have a shoulder injury and my Doctor gave me Ultram, which plugs me up tight. Miralax was not helping, so I broke out the MOM. If I don't have a big dump today, I am sure tomorrow I will.

@@sharkgirl It has always worked for me within two hours, but everyone is different. The few times I've taken it have been right after work and on a Saturday, to avoid times I'd be at work and trying to sleep.< /p>

I nearly cried laughing when I saw the log picture. In fact it's what got this whole topic going. I thought it would be a good way to interject some humor into a serious topic. And I still laugh whenever I see it.

As for @@gpmed we are very different. While squirting can cause some problems, like not being able to confidently leave the house. It's predictable. Once everything is gone, I know nothing is going to happen for a day or two. I hate HATE sitting in the bathroom trying to pass a pebble. Sahara ass, to me, is the worst thing ever. But to each his own. We all I guess have different desires and preferences for our asses. I prefer minimal effort and time pooping, so if I am a bit on the loose side, that is fine with me. I guess the delineation line for me is, if I can a) read and entire book without a significant poop, thats bad. B) if I get off the bowl and am all sweaty with bloodshot eyes after passing what amounted to some ass rocks, thats bad. If I go, in sit down and explode and in 30 seconds I am done, I can live with that.

@@winklie that is exactly where I am right now. My ever-faithful Smooth Move tea was no match for the hardcore antibiotic and pain pills I've been on for the past week since getting my impacted wisdom tooth out. I had to break out the big guns today because I couldn't stand the infrequent pebbles and intestinal cramps. Thanks for coming through for me, MoM. :P

@@winklie I think maybe your Sahara ass is worse than mine and my volcano ass is worse than yours. When it's Sahara, I can usually take something and work it out. When it's volcano, it's never just once for me. It's multiple times, my stomach is upset and I feel weak and shitty. (All puns intended)

I took it before bed and nothing but some rumbling. I'll take some more this weekend since I will be home in case the volcano erupts. :(

@@sharkgirl Best of luck, you show that poop who's the boss! Take control! Even if you have to resort to MOM. It happens.

@@gpmed

For me there are two scenarios that play out, Sahara and Volcano caused by natural forces and brought on by unnatural forces. For example the Sahara I am currently going through is due to medication, when today's dose of MOM kicks, in, it should be over quickly, that has been my experience. Same thing with Volcano if some med causes an acute ass malfunction, either I get used to it, or change the med. No amount of dietary changes will overcome painkiller induced Sahara.

On the flip side there are both conditions caused naturally, and this is where I tend to agree with you. If I get volcano as a result of illness or eating something that my ass is not fond of, it can take days to resolve itself. The same with Sahara. My standard line of defense is to examine my diet in detail and determine what I did to cause this, and to drop back a dietary stage, where I knew everything I was eating was ass approved. Once the culprit is identified and removed, normality follows soon thereafter.

I guess and lastly there are those times when for no reason at all, my ass locks up, and I mean tighter than a clams ass, and we all know that to be waterproof. These are the most perplexing times as I cannot explain why what is happening is happening, and no solution is readily available. Immodium, or MOM, depending on which was my ass failure is happening.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
