I'm a grouchy kind of fellow. I honestly believe that half of the reason for that is I just cannot keep regular. I eat well, a fair amount of Fiber and supplement with Benefiber; but honestly only 1 in 5 BM's are the type that are satisfying. You know the type, where you leave the stall with a smirk and know that you have bested the commode instead shaking your head saying that next time will be different.

Lately, my relationship with the john has been one of menace. I step into the stall and immediately cop an attitude with the shitter:

But more often than not, I leave like this:

You know, head hung low in shame.

I'm happy to report that today, I have bested that porcelain SOB. Now I can't wait to go to the gym and weigh in for the week!

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.
