Hi,
I am so happy we are anonymous but I just had to share a funny story. I am Day 7 post LIS surgery and I really think I need to cut back on my fiber. I was currently taking two fiber pills (psyllium husk) and two stool softeners (collace) 2x per day. Plus I eat lots of fruits and veggies.
Well, now that I am not taking any painkillers, I don't need to worry about being constipated. I think I will resume tonight with ONE fiber pill and ONE stool softener.
That or it was the prune juice this morning...Well, I waited 5 minutes too late and I did not make it.
That is all I"m going to say..but I truly believe my LIS surgery was successful and I just need to cut back on my fiber intake and stool softeners.
I know someone that cut the fiber supplements and stool softeners completely after surgery.
I'm afraid to do that but I will slowly decrease it for sure. just wanted to share because next time I will go when I need to go.
Thank God I was at home.
