male only TMI? No such thing.

I had to have a colonoscopy before my WLS and I asked the Doctor about this problem. He suggested a cap full of Muralax with stool softener daily. I mix it in my drink since it is unflavored and so far so good! I am 4 weeks out since my sleeve surgery so hope it continues!

The Three "F's"; Fiber, Fluid, fitness. The more you move the more you 'MOVE". That being said, sometimes I feel like I'm passing a bowling ball, only to have a couple of grapes come out. On the flip side, sometimes no effort produces a boa constrictor wrapped around the bowl (scratch head here). I eat a fair amount (about 1/4 c at a time) of raw veggies, including carrot, broccoli, and home made sauerkraut. I think that Fluid is the biggest helper-I average 1 gallon a day, mostly Water. I think if we all had more FAT in our diets, things would slide through more easily, but that's what got us to this point initially! The crown is heavy for those who sit easily on the throne...

I've decided that I have "poop days" six weeks out. Once a week. That's it. No amount of Miralax, colace, you name it will change it.

Went for my 6 week post op today and the nurse said she'd like to see me pooping more. Maybe 3 times a week.

Yeah. I'll get right on that.

Right?! I'm not an obstinate child who refuses to go to the bathroom just to spite them! I'd go number 2 everyday if I could.
