When will these PFs stop?

[maryb 1]

Ok, 2 weeks post op and I am tired of the PFs (productive farts). Is this something I am going to have forever?:angry

[argon 3]

lol... that's funny. Productive farts. Not funny to have though, I can imagine. Sorry... I just had to say 'good one' !

I'm sure it's not a forever thing though. Perhaps you could use some Fiber?

How do I get some Fiber in my all liquid diet?

[argon 3]

I'm also on all liquids right now, and I've been using Benefiber... it's like Metamucil, but non thickening, and tasteless... you can add it to pretty much anything, it's fabulous!

[maryb 1]

I will try some. Thanks!

[argon 3]

Ok... but wait and see what everyone else says. I'm not absolutely sure that it's fiber that you need... that's just what I would do.

Good luck!

Benefiber is good stuff, you should definitely get some. I'm now 19 days post op and I completely understand about the PF! You're just about at the end of it I'd say but it will still be another week or so before you'll have a normal feeling BM. At least that was my experience - I finally had a normal one today!

LOL Who knew I'd someday be online telling total strangers about my bowel habits. I will add this: Prior to surgery my husband had never heard me toot. Never. I would rather have exploded than fart in front of him. During the past 19 days it has become just a normal thing. Ain't life grand?

Once you start eating food again, that should go away - but yes, benefiber is good stuff and it will help.

Get the kind with Calcium - 2 birds and all that.

Good Luck!

:clap2: So, there will be an end to this musical mess! Thank God for Panty liners!

Benefiber with Calcium is on the top of my Walmart List!

Thank All Y'all for the support!!!
