Sure wish I could post this anon, but here goes anyway. I am 8 mos

postop and having trouble with urgent need to have BM and not being able to wait at ALL. It is causing me a lot of problems getting to work on time because each day at exactly 6:45 am when I am to leave to go work, I have to get to a bathroom! I can't "hold it" and I usually have to go at least twice before the cramps stop. I even explained it to my boss and I don't think she believed me. I haven't been late for work yet but the stress of having to "get out the door" and on the road to work is growing. I may have to take 15 min of FMLA which I still have until October to cover my tardiness. I have tried getting up earlier. I have stopped eating breakfast before I leave. I do have a cup of coffee sometimes but not always. It just seems like my body is very regular and I should be thankful for that, right? Forgive me for being graphic but I really want to see if anyone else has this problem. The BM's are soft and light colored and "fluffy". Yuck! The urgency to empty my bowels is not controllable and must take priority when it occurs. In other words, it can't wait until a convenient time. Sorry so gross. Help!
