Poop

As someone currently in the process of the drs deciding which bowel disease I have - I have learned from chatting to people in waiting rooms (colorectal surgery...what else are you going to talk about ha ha) I've learned everyone's normal is different, but changes in habit that persis longer than 3 weeks should be checked out by a doctor. Blood is an immediate as soon as you can see a doctor do so.
Also not sure if anyone has asked this but are you drinking enough water? And have you recently taken any painkillers (if prescribed please don't stop just mention to your dr) such as codeine which has a habit of causing constipation.
Normal can be several times a day to as few as once or so a week. I'm not a doctor though and if you're worried just give them a call.
I'd not reccommend a laxative unless prescribed. As you've said it's psychological why not just skip this week's weigh in and do it next week?
Good luck and I hope you get your poop soon0 -

If your question was more focused on the lack of a bowel movement and how to get it going, then I could understand. That you are more concerned about how it will effect your weigh in sets up some red flags for me. Maybe take a look at your mindset with regards to your weight loss plan. If you're willing to consider laxatives to see that number go down, there is much more going on here.

OP, do you typically go 7 days between BMs? You said you bought some MoM. Try that and if you don't go, get yourself to a doctor/ER. You've literally got a bigger problem than extra weight on a weigh-in.0 -
I recommend removing the poop from any of those places and flushing it to truly dispose of any excess weight. FYI.
Not all poop should be flushed, what would happen to the poor dung beetle if we did that? He'd be the dungless beetle.

Oh, zefrank, how I love thee.
I'm pretty sure the Duck is my favorite.0 -
So you're literally full of, er, poop? And your only concern is how it will affect your weigh-in tomorrow? Am I understanding this correctly?0

Not having a BM for an actual week is not good. You should really see a doctor and/or look at your fiber intake and see if you can increase it. I have a hard time eating enough fiber when I up my protein intake. Sometimes I'll go a few days without "going" but never a week. I drink lots of water, eat plenty of leafy greens. For those times I just feel really bloated and I'm having issues, I'll use Senokot S. But I know they're not the best, so use those as sparingly as possible.0
