I can't wait to poop.

WORTH IT
I'm drinking water prune juice, colace and MOM but nothing yet. I do have a lot of rumbling in my belly though but I want it out! I plan to cut down on the pain pill and switch to Tylenol. Oh I cannot wait to feel better.

Dr. Johnny Franco has wonderful bed-side manner, sincere, caring, knowledgeable, understands what my goal is. I love the fact that he listens. He never pressured me one way or another on what to have done but made suggestion and gave me options so I could decide myself. Ive never known of a doctor who gives out personal contact, well Dr Franco does. His staff is also awesome. I absolutely love the coordinator, Kristin. She replies back in an heartbeat and answers every questions. Every aspect of the practice is stellar. I am really excited and cannot wait to see my outcome.

Did you begin stool softener before surgery? If not, begin daily now, preferably one without stimulant. Also, there is a Tea called smooth move tea. It is available in most grocery stores either by the laxatives or specialty teas. Day 3 is tough, and you will need to continue your pain meds. I used both, and continued with the stool softener for an entire week. Best wishes my friend.
Thanks so much. I had an explosion an hour after my post. Oh what a relief. I continue to take colace daily. I don't ever want to feel that way again!
So glad....feeling that way is the worst. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
How's it going? I'm heading in on 12/13/16 for TT and BL. My doc told me about 2 weeks before I'm back to "normal" daily function. You're about 3 weeks out. Would you agree with the two week estimate?
Hey! You're not asking me but I can speak for a TT and 2 weeks you will not be back to normal. I will be 2 week post op tomorrow and I am definitely not back to normal.

Everyday gets a little bit better but I still cant lift things, walk for a long distance, etc..

Any questions let me know and good luck :)
You will not be back to normal at 2 weeks however you'll be staying to feel like yourself again. At 3 weeks I was able do go back to work and walk long distant with feeling like I'm going to die. Good luck to you.
Thanks ladies, good to know. I have three weeks off. Hopefully that's enough. I have a desk job so at least it's not too physically strenuous. Just curious, anyone hear from yardiegirl? Noticed she hasn't posted or responded. Hoping all is well!
You'll be fine. I took 3 weeks off too and I'm a Floor RN. I did great when I return. I wore my Faja and it helped.
Toph7800 this is my post. It. Heck out my current one under mommyhappy01. I made a new profile so I can give my new surgeon a great review that he deserved.

Day 3 is no joke foreal. My discomfort has elevated so I'm keeping up with my pain meds.
