    Hey Southern
    Were your BM different because of the lump? Were they thinner and harder to get out? Thanks.

    They are all different
    sometimes long and thin, sometimes just small pieces and then major size. I take Colace every night to prevent me from getting constipated and it usually works. I have more difficulty if I have diarrhea, it seems to more uncomfortable. the colo-rectal surgeon told me that the stool is backed up in the lower intestine because it is difficult for it to get around the prolapse. Feel free to ask me anything you want, I will be gald to talk withyou. I go to another Colo-rectal surgeon Monday and will be sure and let you know what she says.
