Opti Question!

Okay ladies and gents, this may be TMI but how many times did you all have bowel movements while you were on opti?

Im taking a fiber supplement and I just wanted to know what is okay and when should I be concerned

-Michelle

I wouldn't let it go for too long Michelle.  I had the opposite problem when I did the opti so going wasn't an issue for me. 

How many days has it been if you don't mind me asking. The last thing you want is to go into surgery constipated.  I know you still a ways away but I would get it under control now.

I don't start my optifast for a couple of weeks but the nurse told me to make sure that I drink lots of water during the day or it can plug me up.  Are you making sure your drinking enough water? 

Im am having a BM about once a day. And I'm drinking lots of water! Peeing isnt the issue and neither is consuming water.. I'm just used to normally having 2-3 BMs a day so just making sure that 1 a day is enough? 

Gosh girl your fine lol.

LOL! okay.. I guess im just too full of sh$# when im not on opti :P 

Lmao....I used to be. Now senokot is my best friend.... Every 3 days :-/

Be thankful it is once a day. It could be much worse. Start to worry after surgery if you stop having bowel movements

I agree Pat. As I said I have to take senokot every 3 nights without fail.  It's hard when I work my week on sometimes I go 5 nights as I work 4 in a row. It's very uncomfortable. 

Lol
