Jim,
Please don't let this get you down....trust me I know how frustrating these awful things are, but remember it's only been 2 weeks some people can have what's classed as a traumatic reaction to surgery...which is basically your body takes a long long time to recover and heals a lot slower....which if your having major surgery is really worrying but with something like LIS it delays recovery.
I'm on day 3 and had stitches with my LIS so hardly had any blood...but I have not had a BM yet.
Your body needs time to heal....and worse case scenario if it hadn't worked there is always the option of a second LIS or flap surgery....or at the very very worst if you cannot function there is a temporary colostomy to give the sphincter a complete rest.
You will get better I'm sure you will....it so annoying when people tell you to think positive when your in pain...but please don't give up not yet.
Take care
