Congratulations on your surgery. For me, it took about 5 months to work out. I remember asking my surgeon the same question. Just follow the advice you've been given.

I too, am a little over 2 weeks out....... I have had rock hard constipation......

But, because I suffered SO LONG with dirrhea, try Gneric IMMODIUM. Granted, you are early out, so the motto is "liquis in, liquids out"

Revision on 06/21/13

Yup, just like everyone has stated previously.. NORMAL NORMAL NORMAL..

It's one heck of a ride isn't it ! It will get better in time. Please stay hydrated and follow Dr K's instructions. He is tops !

Things will start to improve pretty soon. Your body is just saying " what in the H*LL" did you do to me ! What is wonderful is your metabolism is fixed now and things will improve with time. Everyone's time schedule is a bit different.

You sound like a perfectly normal DS post-op to me! For what it's worth, I still wake up at around 4:00 to go. It seems to be my body's new routine. I've gotten used to it.

I am fine with the waking up early but the painful cramping and watery stool I hope goes away soon

Yes - they will go away. The only time I ever have "crampiness" now is if, for some reason, I go to a fish fry the night before. You will probably never have the "formed" stools that you had as a pre-op. My stoools are usually looser and "fluffy," but the watery stools will get better.
