Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, I was discharged from a small hospital (not the one my surgeon and his team usually work out of) and on a statutory holiday. I was discharged by the general surgeon on call and had very little guidance on what to expect. No dietitian, no chance to ask my surgeon questions or have him give me more details on what to expect... I've been pretty in the dark. Of course I had a lot of info going into the surgery and was obviously warned of the pooping frequency, but no chance to talk about diet or other means of attempting to control my output. So... very thankful for all of you!
