I feel like the guy in the dos xx beer commercial, I don't always have to poop, but when I do it's gonna be a good one lol.

I'm right there with ya. Pre-surgery I never understood why some people took reading materials into the bathroom - when I had to go, I had to go - no messing around. Post-surgery, I had to learn to poop all over again in order to stay regular and begin paying attention to the new signals my body was sending when I needed to go. Otherwise I'd wind up constipated. :-P

I take two magnesium tablets every day, and two stool softeners. Works same as milk of magnesia. Helps prevent Constipation.< /p>

Lol, no not at all. I got three kids and every time something got broke or there was fighting going on, they always gave me the same bs line "it wasn't me" and I would reply "you guys are full of it".

I completely understand! Now it seems like I only have to go about once a week. But when I do, its a doozy! I clog up the toilet about every time.

I think I'm going to start experimenting with some stool softeners and hopefully stay a little more regular.
