Pooping.. the lighter side of it

Humor side of weight loss Ok I get so excited when I have to poop.. I know I may gross some of u out especially those who don't think they r a card carrying member of the poop society LOL I just feel my weight comes off when I poop .. some think the weight falls off in middle of the night by magic .. or some think they pee and weight falls off . or some think u sweat and it comes off or a combo .. of the above I just had to laugh .. at my self .. My life has come down to .. am I gonna make a poopy today???? ok off to the gym.. I don't think sweating is how it comes off as i cannot not sweat.. even in the sauna I dry up like a turtle LOL be well all Lisa

I know what you're talking about. It's a red letter day when I "drop the kids off at the pool" so to speak. I don't think of it as losing weight by pooping though. I think of it as what food doesn't get digested and used gets put out. IE if I eat 2# of food over a couple of days, and I poop out 1# of it, I know only 1# went into my body to use. I think we lose weight by burning fat instead of sugars, then the byproducts of our "losing weight" are the ketones in our urine, sweat etc. Think of it as melting the weight away in the flame of metabolism, rather than dumping it out of the refuse system.

intresting thought ,, I think i need to see my self as a body burning factory that a fat storing factory I think how we see our bodies has some bearing on how we lose .. I am trying to think of my self as being fat buring body .. very hard to change your head lisa

My life revolves around my poops! If I poop, I feel good. If not, I am queasy, nauseous, and cranky.l Oh, how life has changed for me since surgery.

I have that nasty I.B.S. (irritable bowel syndrome), and it seems to be worse lately. But I do have a nasty big hernia which could be the reason why it's been getting worse. I dread having to go because it means serious pain & cramping. I think I'd rather give birth then go through that everytime it's potty time! Maybe after I get my hernia repair it won't hurt so bad.

i feel so bad for u lisa.. ouch .. yeah I hope they fix that hernia .. streaching pain from the intestine can be the worse type of pain hugs Lisa

I know what u mean when I have a BM i feel so much better .. Lisa

Pooping is the downside of WLS for me. I now keep a spare set of clothes in my vehicle, and at work, because my bowels are liable to explode at any moment. Very humiliating. I guess it's the price I pay for "taking the easy way out" on weight loss. Yeah, right. DD

All my toilets now have plungers next to them now. "MOM! Daddy clogged the crapper again!!" ;)
