Welcome back! So nice to see your smiling face on the board again. Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I have a young daughter that struggles with intestinal problems as well - gas, constipation and then diarrhea. The constipation bothers her most often. Her pediatrician states that Metamucil is not an effective stool softener/laxative - especially the sugar free kind. She has recommended mineral oil (3Tbsps and she's only 5 yo) every day. It has made a world of difference for her. We do use beano with her but prefer the liquid type. So easy to put a few drops on her food - it is tasteless - and it helps prevent the gassiness from her food. Gas-X gel caplets are really small and very effective. You mentioned about artificial sweeteners - some people have a very difficult time with them. I cannot chew sugar-free gum due to the instestinal gas/cramping that it causes. I also tend to stay away from artificially sweetened yogurt, juices etc. Again, glad to hear from you. Don't be a stranger - you are among friends.

Sally, I am so glad to see that you are doing so well. You have the right outlook on this journey to a healthy life. Just remember what a very wise person once said, "The race is not given to the swift or to the strong, but to those who endure to the end." Keep enduring Sally. I look forward to seeing you at the end of your weight loss race.

Hi Sally so glad to see your posting on the site - you are moving on with your decision and may god bless you with your journey. as far as housework is concerned, when i was at my heighest weight and lowest of depression housework was a real burden to me - what i did was watch tv and then only get up and do something when the adverts were on - i only had limited energy for a few minutes at the most so by the end of the day i could look around and see what i had achieved and felt better than in the past when realising that i had sat around all day and the place getting into even more of a tip - even if it took 3 or 4 advert breaks at least i was able to clear a kitchen shelf or put some clothes away. so sally do hang on in there - the main thing to remember is that you are not putting on weight (wonderful feeling) and to take one day at a time (and one advert break at a time haha). kind regards
