From a previous thread some posters have been "irregular" and have even mentioned being on a stall.
Just curious if 1 might go in hand with the other...
If theyre not releasing their stools, could the scales be reflecting the weight of that?
Especially the longer they hold it in their system....just wondering!

    I wouldn't think so, just like urinating, you may lose a little afterwards. I am not as regular as I use to be, but at the same time, I don't evacuate as much as I did prior to surgery. With that said, I think being constipated can add some weight, but I honestly don't think it would be pounds. This is the conclusion that I am drawing off of what I evacuate.
