You clicked on this. Just remember that.

I'm at that magical age where my colon is suddenly another body part to take care of. I got my colonoscopy at age 50 and got a clean bill of health.

However, I was told that high Fiber was good and one way to know you were getting enough fiber was if your poop floats.

Mine floated nicely for years. I also took fiber capsules every day. Now, post banding, I was told no fiber capsules (they expand inside you) so I stopped. And now I eat Protein, protein and more protein. Some veggies and occasionally carbs.

Not floating anymore.

I really don't want to have to mix up a cocktail of fiber in a glass every morning. But if I have to in order to stay healthy, so be it.

How do you maintain good colon health on a high protein diet?

I use to work in the GI dept and had to send out the pre op instructions and talk to the patients and all that, so when I went for mines a few yrs at 24 I thought it would be easy breezy but omgosh I mixed the stuff in a bottle of gallon apple juice and me and the toilet was besties that whole day and night and they wanted me to do two fleets in the morning but I didn't cuz I was like what else is left in there?! Lol But people with crohens n other GI problems have to do this a lot But you will be fine!

I hear every body , Sandy you are so right , I had to do it a couple years back , luckily at the time I had a apartment that had 2 bathrooms , so I told the kids they were to only use 1 ,because the other one was reserved just for me for 2 days , because I had to keep talking a shower & hand wash my clothes , I hope I will never have to do that again , but then again I guess it's our age people Lol.

Badista, I wanted to thank you for mentioning your squatty potty. I got one this weekend and already love it. Thank you
