*Poll* Regularity issues anyone?

Gene's post got me thinking about plateaus and why the happen. I have had issues with my "constitution" since being banded. When I am properly restricted I just cant get a lot of fiber in. Then when you up the protein...well...you know what happens. I take a magnesium supplement and that helps. I dont think we can lose as well if our bodies arent flushing things out. Your thoughts?

Wow you really must wanna know alot about us lol For me... I was never regular.. since childhood.. When I was 12 I went 13 days without going. Hurt like a MFer when I finally went.. But as I got older it got better.. but even now.. I am every other day.. TMI TMI TMI I'm sure. So I guess what I am trying to say is.. I dont know if it relates, other than your body weighs more because you aren't shytting. But.. It cant be more than 4 lbs or so, right? lol

Unless you were Elvis! His lower instestines were impacted..member how he died? on the toilet....Maybe he was banded?

If he was banded.. at the end there.. is surely wasn't working for him. lol Going back to your original question.. I do weigh less if I go more often.. but is that really considered weight loss? lol

Yep! Hey I will take it all! Cut my hair, clip my toenails, blow my nose, use a loofa....well you get the idea...

You guys are too funny....you've got me laughing out loud, too! I actually read this post to my sister 'cause we actually have conversations like this....so glad to know it's not just us ! We've gotta see that weight loss any way we can!

get the green boxed "ballerina tea" in the ethnic isle of your food store, diluted it will help with that, I'm telling ya!

I'm sitting here, laughing out loud, at you two! ha I've never had a problem, as long as I get my water, in! Honest! I take an iron supplement, which means I have to take a stool softner, but I'm as regular as a clock! Sorry, if that's explicit, but it's true, and just part of life!! Yes?

MoM is my friend now. bleh.

WATER, WATER, AND MORE, WATER!!! Did I mention WATER? You also have to move. Lots of exercise. You can try Smooth Move Hearbal tea if things get real bad. Please stay way from MoM, or any other stool softener and what not. Your body will become addicted to it and when you try and get off of them boy are you going to be in for a rude awakening!!! Dayna
