Thanks. My next Nut appt. is about five days after my surgery I will ask about Probiotics then. No reason why I shouldn't be able to take them now though. Oh and I was at Target yesterday and bought a squatty potty. ????

Very good, Remember if you are not planning to succeed you are planning to fail!

Happy Holidays!

Lol @ winklie - I am one lucky person as I haven't had ass pebble one since colon removal in 2015. I am little concerned about more valcano. Remember sore butt checked by Aquaphor. Speaking from perpetual butt chap.

I'll add your ass remedy to the original post. Thanks!

Happy Holidays! POWER TO THE POOPER!!!

Maybe a silly question but I'm 7 days post op. Should I be looking for a normal poop. I have basically a very watered down version and figured it's normal since I've only had liquids. It's not volcano by any means but more just Water not too much as in dehydration

Update on the squatty potty...it's awesome! No straining.

@leesa962 I was exactly like that for the first couple weeks. They weren't worried, just said to make sure I stay hydrated.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, busy busy with the holiday and all. As for your ass, everyone is different. There are a myriad of different things that contribute to what comes out of your ass. Likely when you are freshly post op, your diet consists of mainly liquid type foods. The offset is the Protein. Excess Protein takes a lot of Water to break down so even though you are getting enough liquids, which is good, how are you doing protein wise? Remember not all protein sources are equal their is a lot of bullshit in that industry. whey Isolate is the best (that is most used by the body) protein, it has a PDCASS score of 1.00. Others like Soy are much lower. Research PDCASS and see what the protein you are taking gets for a score. If you are active I recommend, especially if you were not already active, your body needs to build a lot of muscle and needs a ton of protein, at least 80 grams of protein a day. I shoot for 100 grams, but I have a very big frame. Hope this helps!

Chalk up another happy pooper!!

Yes....Yes it is! I have been away from home for the holiday and regret not bringing it along.

After trying probiotics, various laxatives and MOM, and still trying so hard to poop, I decided it was time for the Squatty Potty. I ordered it today and I hope my ass will thank me. I've had Constipation problems my whole life and the Squatty Potty has such glowing reports, it's just time.

How much MOM did you use? Worst case, for me, has been 4 tablespoons for 2 days, then all hell breaks loose. Perhaps the Sqatty Potty will help. I too suffer from a familial ass issue, my mother has always had ass problems. She in turn gave it to me (nothing diagnosed, I used Senna Lax 8.6mg X4 a day for the last decade or so) and I gave it to both of my children. Neither could poop when born. They were both 6 weeks premature, and neither has had any long term effects, but both required prune juice mixed with 1 or 2 bottles a day at a very controlled dose to be able to go. My niece had Hirshprongs disease, she required 3 surgeries to remove sections of her intestines. That poor girl. She is fine now, but it took years. Given what I have seen in my family I am perhaps a bit quick to jump to the gun given my personal and family history of ass malfunction. Amusingly enough, the only strange thing I ever developed is the inability to use any toilet to poop in other than my own. I mean I just do NOT use any other toilet other than my own. No idea why, but I have been that way since I was a kid. The Army was very hard for me, training was one thing, but being in combat out in the field, sleeping in a defensive formation and shitting in a plastic bag and carrying it around with you, or shitting in a little hole dug in the ground was the worst. Sand is evil btw. It's the war no one speaks of. But you get sand in your ass, man, it takes a damn power-washer to get that out! Horrible.

I suffer from the same affliction of not being able to use any other toilet in that way. I can't imagine sand up there. I had tried four tablespoons which only made my tummy rumble. I'll try two days in a row since the Squatty potty has not arrived and I'm having that problem, again.

[winklie 518]

@@Dar200

You sound just like me. Day 1 4 tablespoons, lots of rumbling. Day 2, 4 tablespoons, 2 hours later full eruption! The funniest part is when the stool that is plugging you up comes flying out. Then, on the verge of TMI, chocolate pudding for about 1/2 an hour. Then it is over. Weight yourself if you can before the second BM. I lost 5 pounds in one sitting. It made my week.

[Dar200 285]

I'll try to do that.

My surgery is on Monday and I don't want to have to dig so far to refer to this incredibly helpful post.
