Oh, the joys of bowel movement. I never thought I would ever enjoy going potty, but since I am so irregular after surgery, it is one of the highlights of my day, if it happens that is!!!! My surgery was on March 15, 2010, and for the first few days, being on an empty stomach, nothing happened. But that first time, it was very painful. I am still having some problems ocassionally but Benefiber and a sporadic dulcolax seems to work fine.
