Fiber question....

LOL ok! Noted!! :o)

Tia!  You are too much!  I do love me some Rita's and there's one right around the corner from me.  Yummmm.

MoeMoe!!!  I speak the truth!!  Ask Aaron, he didn't believe me and one night, ate some s/f chocolates and texted me, "YOU WERE RIGHT!!!"  LOL!!!

I trust, I trust!  I'm staring down a bag of s/f peeps right now- they're loaded with sugar alcohols!  I just have to take the plunge (pardon the pun LOL).  I just hope it happens while I'm home and NOT on my way to Rockville... that would STINK... oh I'm full of them today! 

LMAO!!  Very GOOD, MoeMoe!!

You know, things made with s/a should come with an additional warning (in addition to the one about causing a laxative effect).  "Consumption of this product may also cause you to clear a room and lose friends!"  LOL!!!

Word!  Although... I do love a good sneak attack on my husband.   I'm his favorite sometimes!

I can totally echo tia and Lisa.....no fiber supplements work for me at all!!!!!!  of course lately having had intestinal flu, i can stand being constipated now please LOL

However, I usually have a serving of sugar free dove chocolate squares (5 should do the trick)  I have chocolate mint and chocolate raspberry........after a serving of those and I'll be running in no time.  Also make some cookies with splenda, whole wheat flour and sugar free chocolate chips....OMG my bowels were moving the entire next day!!!!!  LOL

This is my biggest fear.

SF chocolates don't work for me
coffee does not work for me
beans do not work for me
3 huge glasses of water with 3 times the metamucil (which is like 9 times the daily dose) does not work fo rme.  (well it does if i drink it 3 or 4 days in a row)
dried fruit does NOT work for me
(these are things that work for OTHERS)

also I find that stool softener helps.

Any s/f candy especially the chocolates usually work, but if you are going for more than 3 or 4 days and nothing is happening, I had VSG, but my Dr told me to try Dulcolax, and then start taking Colace everyday until it isn't needed anymore. I am not there yet, so I don't know how long it takes, but the Colace really helps.  Good Luck!  Leslie:)
