fatontheinside 92 Posted February 5, 2017 I take a Fiber pill three times a week and the directions say to drink it with a full 8oz of Water. I just wrote a blog post "everyone poops, until they can't" for this very reason If you have a strong stomach, I suggest reading it. I promise you will NEVER forget to take your Fiber after you read it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

White Sale 339 Posted February 5, 2017 I'm regular, but not doing anything special. I do use a Squatty Potty, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LIA-70 136 Posted February 10, 2017 Was really backed up and had a Fiber one bar...it worked, like the everready bunny... going n going. Now, I rotate stool softener one day, half a fiber one cheesecake bar the next day. So far so good and steady weightloss. Just don't do the dumb sh!t i did n had a few of my nieces Mc D's french fries last week. 5 min later it was explosive. Now i know better. Don't judge me, nobodys perfect. Cleaned me out though.

Diva T 62 Posted February 10, 2017 Surgeon's RN told be to take Miralax in 8 oz liquid every day for right now. Almost 4 weeks out. Take simethicome chewable tablets as needed for trapped gas and 2 Pepcid a day 1 in the am and the other later in the day. This all helped me so very much. Pooping every day and Protein is very constipating, gas is under much better control and the indigestion is under control. I want to encourage you to call your doctor's office get their recommendations for helping yourself feel better! You can do this! Health and healing to you and God bless you!
