Its been a long time since I posted. After my LIS last June, things have pretty much returned to normal. I still take a half a cap of Miralax nightly, even though my CRS said I could wean off of it after the surgery. Up u it, this morning, I would say I have been pleased with the surgery.....however, I had a pinkish red on the tp after my BM this morning. I also had to go several times....think the buffalo chicken I ate didn't agree with me. My stools were also red. Every time I wiped, the paper looked pinkish. Of course, I am freaking out at this point. It's my birthday, for gods sake, I didn't want this NOW. After I got to school, I started thinking about what else I ate yesterday and remembered having a piece of red velvet cake with my friend yesterday afternoon. I have read that it can definitely cause you to have red stools. Has anybody experienced this? I don't feel the prickly feeling like a retear, although I'm prepared it may be. Im headed to the hot bath now. Thoughts?
