Problem with the "poops"

Hello everyone: It will be 3 months on the 24th that I had my surgery. I have been doing really good with eating and staying on track. I do however have one small problem. The first thing in the morning after I get up, I have to go #2. It is not solid. It is very running and urgent. I usually have to go two times and then I am done until the next day. I was told that a lot of people get constipated after this surgery. I was really hoping for that as I was very runny before the surgery. I had my gall bladder out in 1991 and ever since then I have not been real solid. But, it seems to have gotton worse since surgery, when I was hoping it would get better. Anyone else in this boat?? And what are you doing about it. Thanks

I am with you.... I thought it was going to have a problem with constipation, if it wasn't such a sudden thing in the mornings I would be OK with it but when you wake up and your doing something then all of a sudden you have to go now and you have other people in your house with only one bathroom... As far as what I am doing about it- nothing living with it, so if anyone has any ideas they are more than welcome.

gosh I stayed stopped up all the time I have to take a stool softener .my tummy burns some times where I have to go & can not so now I found special K ceral I eat that it helps a little

Man, wish i had your problem....i looked in my calender and within the last 8 weeks i have only had 12 bm's....not good either....had to have the dr give me something to loosen things up..... Ruth Ann

I get constipated when I eat too much cheese - maybe try adding some cheese to your diet and that will make it more solid. I've been adding benefiber to my protein drinks to keep me from getting constipated. I did get the diarrhea after switching to a new iron supplement which doesn't make any sense because iron is supposed to constipate you too. Lizzie
