Bowel post! ignore if squeamish!

I have, even pre-band, always had a tendency towards constipation. So with my band eating volume, I have to be very, very careful. But sometimes I forget what happened when.

So last night, I felt a bit bloated and uncomfortable and suddenly realised I had not had a BM for about 4 days! Yikes. Time for the last resort treament. Chewed two senna tabs and took a double dose stool softener. Just as I swallowed the last mouthful, too soon for it even to have cleared the pouch, I realised I needed to "go"! So totally unnecessary medication!

This morning was "interesting". Laxative plus softener on system which was already clear.......!!!

Oh boy! Kate

Being a nurse, bowels are an everyday issue that we deal with at work. I can joke about it on here.
Glad everything came out okay for you,
