Re: Post Op Question : WHen do bowel movements get more regular?

[Guest guest]

I'm over 60. At my age, one appreciates each and every bowel

movement. Undoubtedly, you are much younger. Take it from an old

fart: just sit back and ENJOY! " It doesn't get any better than

this, " as Jack Nicholson would say.

As you know, I am brand new to this stuff, but have you tried the

Flagyl and acidopholus treatment yet? I have found in my research

that the combination of Flagyl with the acidopholus...(refrigerated

stuff I got at rite aid) really help to clear up the numerous jaunts

to the loo.

It's great to see you posting! I have missed you like crazy. How is

the weight loss coming along, and other than the speed trips, how are

you feeling in general?

Sending you an extra special hug,
