Oh one other thing! Somebody on the main or rny board mentioned the plum smart juice (lite.) It has I think 60 cal for 8 oz like 11 gr of sugar (I'm a dumper and was okay with it) and I think 3 grams of fiber. It says "for digestive health". It tastes pretty good (and I am not big on juice at ALL) but am all for things to keep the plumbing working right LOL.

glad you are feeling better Steph, I was worried about you. Constipation is horrible and can cause severe pain. Once my daughter Kelsey had such bad constipation when she was about 6 that we thought it was appendicitis and rushed her to the hospital. She was on the floor screaming in pain. The ER took an xray and sure enough she was bound up. I felt so bad for her, though I was quite embarrased we rushed her to the hospital because she couldn't poop. lol! So, keep up w/ the fiber and glad your back on track!

Glad you are feeling better. Pick up some benefiber and add it into your 5dpt foods/drinks. You won't even know it's there & you'll still get your fiber in. I add it into stuff every day now so I won't go through that again.

Topic: Update on my Tummy
Hi All: I first wanted to say thank you all for being concerned with my well being. This was a crazy thing for me...I had not felt bad one day since surgery and I will be the first to admit that I can be a hypochondriac (sp). So when I was feeling like I was on Wednesday, I immediately started to think I had an obstruction or something bad going on. After talking to my doctor's office, I felt better and was more relaxed but when I took a laxative on Wednesday and nothing happened I begin to freak out again...lol But I was feeling much better yesterday and able to eat and not feel yucky after eating. So I called and talked to the nurse in my doc's office and told her I was not coming in now because I was feeling better. But I made another appointment for Monday incase the weekend flew by and I was not 100% by Monday. So last night I drank a bottle of magnesium citrate and it worked! I am feeling so much better now and all I was going thru was a bad case of constipation. I had been on the 5 day pouch test all week and not getting alot of fiber in my diet and I am also doing iron supplements.....so you know that is not a good combination! lol Thanks again for your prayers, thoughts and concern. Just one more reason why I love you all so much!!!

Hey Steph - Glad you're feeling somewhat better. Sounds like it's a bad case of constipation. Hope you're back to feeling 100 % soon!

Well...the mag cit should get things moving along! If not, you could try mineral oil...always works around here. And get that fiber up, girl...you don't want to feel like this again! Hope to hear that you're feeling better tomorrow...
