I guess this would be considered a FART moment

Normally this would fall into the TMI range of a conversation but given the nature of the things talked about on this board and other boards on this site - I am happy to announce that at approximately Noon C.D.S.T I took a solid dump!  I had been doing okay in that department since surgery Monday but today was the first real turd since before surgery!

That first dump is a big in my eyes.  You've cleaned out your system and put little to nothing in there for days.  You just wonder if the old system is working right.  Big fear and big relief.  The sipping the water will help with the regulation of your system.  Later, Brian

That's a good thing... its show that you inerds are flowing correctly so the odds are better for you that you don't have a twisted or constricted intestine.  It took me 4 days before I had my first BM and is the best feeling ever. 

Drink you some SlimFast Low Carb Diet and watch the toilet fill up every day.  I swear that stuff is like straight laxative!

Taking a crap had not been the problem.  I crapped 5x my first full day home on Wed.  This was my first SOLID poop!  I was about as proud of it as my nephew was of his new baby's first turd!
