Constipation is over

I had two bad days with constipation and decided it was not something I wanted to deal with. Who wants to trade being fat for horrible hemorrhoids? So I stocked up on the Miralax and accepted it as being at least an every other day thing. Then I spoke with a friend from college I'd not talked to for a year. She had gastric bypass and suggested I start taking MegaRed.

I'm not suggesting anyone take this stuff w/out checking with their doctor. And if you have allergies, know that it's a fish oil. But this stuff has worked great for me and I believe in the power of Omega 3 so it's a win-win.

It's Omega 3 Krill oil in small pills that are easy to swallow. I take one a day. It's been 2 weeks Miralax free. It's not that I minded the miralax, but I think this is a more beneficial mix for me so just thought I'd put this out there for those who have the chronic problem. Might be a fix for someone else too.

Once I started drinking my coffee again everything was just fine LOL. ;)

My old college roomie used to walk to McD's for a Big Mac. Five minutes after she got home, all was well. But alas, those days are over.....:P

I could be on my dying bed before I have another glass of gatorade or a sip of miralax...

TYVM!

to get through the process, I was required a Colonoscopy...

I blow the tidy bowl guy away, I mean one big diarrhea and that's it...

I am only a week out and eating, well gumming, jello/pudding/soups/applesauce... so I guess it comes out like it goes in???
