Can I PLEASE Get a Break???

Now...diarrhea. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was constipated post surgery so I took a laxative, then I got a stomach bug (though now I'm questioning if it was a stomach bug at all) with diarrhea so I took Imod.ium, then I was constipated again so I took a laxative which results in yesterday's diarrhea. I had to take the Imod.ium last night just to get some relief so I'm fully expecting constipation again. Can a girl get a break for a while???

I went to Dr. Goo.gle yesterday, and found several sites that said constipation and diarrhea were common after effects of a lap. They said it had something to do with the fact that you were being poked on in the area of the bowels and it sometimes takes a few days to get back on track. But it's over a week later!!!! I'm ready to be feeling better!!!! So, I'm calling Dr. K (I'm going back to his original nickname since J doesn't like the Dr. Wonderful reference) to ask if this is common or if there's possibly something else going on.

I'll update later...I know y'all probably REALLY don't want to hear about my digestive system/ GI tract, so I certainly won't be offended if you don't check back for updates.

Update: Dr. K said to take Fibercon. So off I go to Wal.greens to buy MORE stuff to fix my tummy woes!! ;o)
