Has Anyone Else Experienced This.....

I drink water all day and night, and barely have to use the ladies room to let off the excess, and just today I was wondering why that is, I mean after all I drink alot of water everyday..... Also I get really constipated, and have to take a laxative for relief, I'm not eating much, I just tried beef for the first time Friday at my office Christmas Party and then again at a friends office Christmas Party, I ate very little of course, but I realized before that, that I had a problem going to the bathroom, is this common?

i have a really hard time .......i go you no about every 2-3 days. My doc told me to take milk of mag every 2 days so thats what i have been doing. It doesnt cramp me up. My doc said protein makes you constipated. I don't wanna take this the rest of my life lol.....But it might get better........... i drink 64 oz water...........vickie r.

Latricia, I can totally relate in both areas. Before surgery, I was up 2 or 3 times during the night now nothing. I sleep through the night. Also only go 2-3 times during the entire day. Very strange. As for the other, it is like every 2-3 days and when I feel crampy I just drink some coffee and no more issues. =) It is very common because of all the protein. Good luck! =) Kelli

Latricia same thing here..I think I'm retaining water cause I sometime have too much sodium.

I have a tiny bladder and used to get up 4 or more times/night. Now I just have to get up once. I love it. I asked my doc if he moved some intestines off my bladder or something while he was messin' around in there. He just laughed at me. As to the other, I still go at least once a day, sometimes 2x. I think it's probably cause I can eat more variety already than most people. I hope you all get unconstipated soon. Sheryl
