I'm 8 days out and had a stool 6 days ago so I been taking stool softener and today it worked. I'm still constipated so it was hard going to the bathroom when I was finished it seems like I was wiping infinty. can we develope some kind a leakage with are stools. Sorry I know this tmi but I want to no if this is normal and it's just because my body is ajusting or because the stool softeners.

Keep in mind liquid in.. Liquid out. I find that it goes from one extreme to the next sometimes.

You could also have overdone it with the softeners. I haven't had to take anything as of yet so I'm not familiar them.

Some swear by the squatty potty stool. Luckily I haven't had any issues as of late but if it returns I'm definitely getting one

I started full liquid a few days ago so I'm hoping things get normal soon

Hi Moniquea, congrats on the surgery. I have surgery on Monday and was wondering about the drainage tubes. I have read some have them and some don't. Just wondering if you have them and whether they are painful or not.

Hi. I didn't have to get drainage tubes my surgeon only put them if I had risk or complications during surgery. My friend had it she said it was more uncomfortable then painful

I'm the queen of Water poop. At three plus years out, when I gotta go, I gotta go! Probiotics help, but ask your doctor first. Flush-able wipes (found near the toilet paper) are your best friend.

I never had that problem it's like I'm wiping forever lol wipes do come in handy
