Oh! The joys of constipation!

Week 3 is over, but the constipation is here! Good times! Anyone else suffer through this wonder? Fun. Good times.

I haven't used the bathroom since the day of surgery. So strange. I'm a week out.

It took me about 6 days but I went. This is the protein constipation, apparently. Good times.

There is an herbal tea you can try called Smooth Move ...lol. It works

I love the name! I will try it next time. For the tough days, I used a laxative and a glycerin suppository. I NEVER want to go through that again. My nutritionist recommended oatmeal, which changed everything. I've started eating McCann's steel cut oatmeal every other day. I puree a few strawberries to add in, or, if I'm feeling extra good, I will steam an apple and add to it. Thank goodness for my electric steamer! I can steam it in about 15 minutes, with a little cinnamon, add it to the oatmeal. IT IS YUMMY!
