Cramps after laparoscopy

Hello
I had laparoscopy on Tuesday (5 days sgo) to treat endometriosis. My left ovary was removed and I was told lots of endometriosis on GI tract(****, walls)
I get bad cramps after using the bathroom, I'm on juicing diet now, because Of the discomfort snd I'm taking prescribed stool softener so there's no constipation. I'm cramping bad, basically the cramps are the same as before laparoscopy. Is this normal? I know Things need to heel but just curious and wondering. I'm calling my doctor nurse, and maybe scheduling appointment with the doctor. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello
Thank you for your comment.
I lost my uterus in 2008 to endometriosis.
Now Ieft ovary and fallopian tube. I'm feeling better, just bad menstrual cramps in the back and front. Get bloated with eating or juicing. No endo was removed from the colon; wasn't there.

This is very common after surgery. it could take up to 2 periods in order for it to level out depending on the type of surgery you had. Was excision done? did they remove the endo off the bowels?
