OK, I'm not really cursing my band, but right now I am really struggling. If your easily offended then you better close this blog now 'cause I'm about to give TMI. I need some guidance from some veteran bandsters. How do you keep from getting constipated? Good grief Charlie Brown! I have never in my life had issues like this. I have always been regular as a Timex but the past two weeks have been bowel hell. You guys warned me about bandster hell but nothing about this. I have been to the point of tears. What do I do? I have used a gentle woman's laxative and yes it does produce results in a little as 6 hours and that is fine and dandy. The problem is, it works for that day but what about the next day or the next day? I don't want to become dependent on laxatives to go poopie. I am all ears for you suggestions. Help me! Help my poor little hiney! It can't handle this much longer!

I don't usually take anything regularly, but if it's been 4 or 5 days then I take Miralax. I've been tracking my food lately, and it seems I get a decent amount of fiber in, so that probably helps. If it seems to be ongoing, I usually add some benefiber to my morning protein drink. Hope you get some relief soon!
