What good news Sherry Marie ! Were they as wonderful as everyone says ? That is what was wrong with me too. The doc says there is nothng left for them to hang on to so they grab our intestines. Have you lowered your pain pills Yet ? How are you keeping your bowels moving ? I am now eating these chocolate granuales of senekot. Seems to move everyday but it is not easy. Seems like when I ate cream of wheat every morning that that helped, but I got tired of eating baby food ! What ever you "do not do too much." I have done that 2 times and it really sets you back !!! So who knows what to much is untill you do it. So don't do anything for a while more. Because you will hurt yourself over things that you would never think would hurt you. Like dishes, grocery shopping, walking too much, I baked banana bread and was in bed for days. Wierd huh ! So just be careful,OK. Your friend (post op 5 weeks) Jaynie
