Problems months after colon resection surgery: What Helps?

I guess I need to tone it down. It’s partly my (attempted) dry humor. No harm, I hope. Law, me too. Not a lawyer, paralegal then on to further education in business and psychology. Kind of an odd combination but like u (in a way). I left the business side of a hospital and became a patient advocate. Worked with geriatrics mainly. Know enough to hold a conversation at a cocktail party but not a expert by any means. I’m glad you are cheeky! I apologize about the misdiagnosis, no excuse for that. I hope you will accept my apology 😳

I never was offended mate👌🏼. I'm sarcastic myself, it's in my blood I'm English and Jewish. No other way to be I reckon🤣👍🏻.
So I'm 6 days post-OP let me ask you this...how many pain pills is okay to take? My doc upped my dosage from 1 Norco every 4 hours to 2 every four hours. I haven't had any today as I think it slowed my bowels. I went this morning but, there was only about two fists full of poo. That said, all I had was soup, half a slice white bread and one egg. Up until yesterday morning i was going all the time, albeit only a small amount, but at least 7x a day. I understand this is called clumping. One goes a massive amount and then things slow down. Tonight I'm having sponge cake with cooked cinnamon apples. Not sure what else I'll eat to be honest. The pain gets worse as the day progresses. I don't have UC, or Crohn's, or IBD, however I was mostly constipated until 24, then it became 50% constipation, 50% diarrhoea. Might have to ask my GI doc about Linzess. I don't want to do Miralax every bloody day.
