The question has been asked, now let's get your answers

ok, I'm lazy.  I do have a tendency to get constipated from time to time.  If I'm not going and get to where l don't want to eat because I'm so full of you know what, I just down a bottle of mag. citrate.  It works really quickly and no cramps or anything.  It cleans you out in a hurry and then you're done.  The trick to drinking it (it is really tart) is to drink it room temp. and as quickly as you can.  Works like a charm.  I hate to take any more pills than I have to and would probably forget them half the time anyway.  I've seen what fiber can do to you when you don't drink enough fluids and just can't bring myself to take it.  Oh well, there you have my "secret".

Now ya'll do realize that I was just ribbing Wendy about the "non-caffienated" beverages, right?  I forget that my odd sense of humor doesn't come off well over the screen.  I do have a coffee problem, though.  My boss calls it "the monkey on my back"!

I also know that the gum thing is dangerous because of the possibility of swallowing it.  I worry to death about bad breath and tic-tacs just don't cut it for me.  Neither do I wish to greet a client while smackin' gum, but is dragon-breath not equally offensive?  Worry...worry....worry... 

Hi Everyone!
Im a super excited girl right now. Im so ready to start my liquid diet on the 23rd. (I know Im crazy)  But anyways, I have always had a problem with constipation ever since I was little. Not so much now though. 
I told Dr. Baker's Nurse about it, and she told me that after surgery, I should go to the medicine isle in WalMart and get some Benefiber Chews. Thats what she reccommended for constipation. Sorry if that wasnt much of help. I love you all and  hope to see you soon(as a lighter teen-age girl)

Miralax...it works wonders for me.  I haven't any problems for a while now, but when I did Miralax really helped.  If you keep a healthy amount of good fats and fiber in your diet, and stay well hydrated on a daily basis, you should be fine in the future.  Hope that helps a little.
