Getting fed up with my body
Nic, here is my recipe for a good poop. 2 peri-colace at night, 1 oz. of Fiber-Stat (Barix sells or you can get it online-this stuff is GOLD!) Do the same thing in the am until you are having nice, regular softer serves. Cut it back to 1 time a day when you feel regular and you might have to continue this while you are under stress. Every time something crops up, something stops up if you get my drift. And, the biggest reason is the carbs. I just OD on them, and I'm talking about the good stuff. I really have to scale back to the just post-op diet of yogurts and protein drinks and I have to WALK. Heavy exercise/weights increases my weight gains; I've proven it to my trainer; I just retain, retain, retain. It's the f-ing cortisol and elevated estrogen that holds the water and carbs promote that. I've put on almost 18lbs in the last 10 mos. between my hubby being out of work, fertility treatments, DH's Mom dying and now my sister dying. With my sister's just passing 2 weeks ago, I've had worse pains in my bowels, they are totally clenched; it's where my stress exhibits itself now, and little to nothing is coming out. I think I've also popped an ulcer. I'm bloated above the waist and while I ate little the first week she was in a coma, since she died I've been grazing off the wall. I had two bagels one day! Of course that was the day I called Profect and ordered up the new 50gm vials. I'm going liquid and breaking these carbs. I have to say no as well. I want to see if I can get a handle on my gut before I turn it over to the doc. Good Luck! We can do it.
