Not enough "Fiber"

I never want to go through what I did yesterday.
This may be TMI:
The liquid diet went well, it most certainly did jump start some weight loss for sure. -13 lbs!!!
However my biggest mistake was not getting in enough fiber, because boy did I have the hardest bowel movement in my life! It would not come out.
Granted I did eat, spinach within the week, and had my amazing cob salad, but even with all that, I was stuck literally. I could not even sit down! this was so awful. I was pretty much up all night, thinking it was coming, but it would not. I had to lay on my side for sleep. Finally before day break I was able to move it. So painful.
I will never put myself through anything like that again.
Today, I had green tea, & cashews. & water. I had my PD before dinner tonight.
I had my first fiber one salty caramel & choc. bar. Quite tasty.
This week I will stick to mainly liquids, but I have to get in some veggies, or oatmeal several times throughout the week. I never want to go through what I did last night. I can laugh about it now, but that was awful.
Tonight, I am having some mixed squashed for din-din. What a night! and then on top of that, 2 of my posts were banned because I was bullied, and when I came back, they kept roasting me! Sad shame, I came back to OH for support and I get all this back lash, because I post when it's convenient for me? I was a stranger, and they were strangers to me too.
It got way out of control. If no one had ever offended me from the beginning I would have never clapped back on them. This is what OH has become to now?
Well at least I have you? No one barely posts here either? I have noticed. They acted if as if people don't come & go all the time? but they call me out on it? Strange. That MB is some a trip!
I'm over it.
I got a walk in today as well, and it felt great.
How was your day?

Hi Lady bugJ

I am sorry you were bullied. We are all just people with food issues and one way does not work for everyone.

This group has always been a safe and supportive group. I know it is a little slow, but I don't mind that. I post my meals because I lose weight better when I plan it here. I do eat differently than most RNYers. I don't eat too much junk. I eat too much everyday. I think your jumpstart plan was a good idea. 17 lbs. is awesome. I commend your determination. Did your pouch shrink? Does it feel tighter?

TMI: I drink 20 calorie sugar free Metamucil and 100 calorie slimfast snacks for extra fiber and they taste good, but not TOO good. I also take Senna once in a while (a laxative) or eat a prune or 2.

Have a great day, Tri

My plan today:

B: Spinach crustless quiche

S: Greek yogurt and pear

L: deli beef, tortilla and salad

S: blueberry smoothie

D: beef, ss peas, onion, pasta and eggroll

S: my veggie soup, Nutrasystem cookies, protein cocoa

I was finally able to get some Maralax! Works wonder.
Thanks for your contiued support.
Yes, I feel safe here. Thank you!

Since my "stuck" incident. I am sticking to the liquids during the day, and some veggies & more protein in the eves. I don't ever what to experience that again in life.
Day 2 of a walk today.
I got my son's his new bike, for an early bday. (It's in June). So I am easily influenced to go out after school.
Especially on those nice days. Nothing drastic, just getting into the grove.
Today was:
Vits. PS, green tea, water, (2 fiber bars!! ) after school snack.
Dinner: Spinach & egg omelette with onions, blue cheese crumbs, and sliced cherry tomatoes.
It was so good! 3 eggs! I am super full, being greedy. Next time 2 eggs only. Waiting to make a small PS.
Feeling much better today.
Chat soon!

Hi Ladybug and Tri,

So sorry you were bullied Ladybug, that's just not right! I know I can't always post everyday, I help my sister babysit her grandkids a lot and she has no WiFi. Besides you should post when you want to not because someone's bullying you to.

Also I know what you mean about the constipation, absolutely miserable! I have to take miralax if I'm doing a lot of protein shakes or I end up suffering. Now that I can eat more food it's not as bad though.

Really great about your loss, 13 lbs is awesome!!!

Take care,
Edie

The experts on the MB, claim your pouch can't shrink?
However I am thinking differently after tonight.
I had a 3 egg spinach & onions omelette. Next 2 eggs I was being greedy! It was so good. And I am very full. Actually stuffed, so you tell me.
The experts also said, something about eating the more protein dense foods, will keep me full longer, but that no restriction shrinkage was not going to happen.
I don't agree at all. I feel the difference. Literally. I don't care what the so called experts say? Perhaps it's all in my mind? What ever works at this point.
As they say everyone is different.
Thanks for your support.

Good to know. I will try measuring 1 cup of food and see if it helps me. Thanks, Tri
