I wanted to share some information I received from Dr. Redan & Dr.
Reich's office. I am scheduled for surgery in Scranton on Oct. 30th.
Due to the fact that I have intestinal adhesions, I suffer from bowel
problems and obstructions. I was also hospitalized for 11 days this
month for pain control and tests. I was put on a liquid diet which then
progressed to a soft diet. My stool is often pencil thin. Scranton
told me to continue taking Metamucil and Colace daily. They called
Colace "lube for the tube"!!! I am also to stay on a very soft diet,
small portions, peel all fruit, eat prunes,& do not eat popcorn. I hope
this helps. I will be going for some pre-admission tests soon and will
keep you informed. My best to all of you. Sherry Marie
