Reply to "New normal"

As you said, we had surgery the same day. I started out slow got a bit worse. Then a bit better. Anywhere from 6 to 10 times a day. A lot of the time, the number of bms goes up because I have to get rid of the gas, and for me on the toilet, at least right now, is the only way to do that. I have slept through the night and I have been up about every hour on the hour. Now today seems a little different. Didn't go til 10 am the first time. I don't seem to have quite as much gas either . Could just be a good day, or a change. So far honestly, I don't think it's be to bad, though I've had my moments. My after surgery appointment with my surgeon is tomorrow and I'm hoping I will be able to start taking imodium or lomotal. Maybe some fiber. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It seems we spend longer periods of time in the bathroom also . Even though I am a true spicy food lover, I've been, of course, eating low fiber blan foods. I have tried about everything for gas, that is getting a bit better and doesn't hurt like it did at first.  Against doctor's orders i  have used Pepto one night and imodium another. So far, that's about it. I think Im doing okay.
