The Poo Thread!

There seems to be some confusion about what "normal" and "regular" mean.

Without getting into the weeds about doctors and personal health- if you would like- share with the class how often you go.

On my other forum we have a NSFW thread- and discuss things and I think sometimes don't realize when they feel "not normal" like they are an outlier- and we have these types of discussions- people realize what the scope of "normal" really is- so I felt like it might be useful to share the range of what "normal is"- also I'm super bored at work. Sorry not sorry.

Every two days also doesn't mean twice a week- just to be clear.

Twice a week would be like "Tuesday and Thursday"
Every two days would be a syncopated schedule- so Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday,Tuesday, Thursday- etc etc.


and GO

    don't be fooled- it gets pretty exciting here too. But yes- same person- same profile- I'm boring- not really- I just like to be consistent ;)
    AH YUCK YUCK YUCK- I'm so punny.

    I am no longer on WW though- I got booted with the new regime change. Shrug- it's pretty awful now so I don't care.

    I go at least once a day. Many days I go once at work and once at home.

    Yesterday I dumped 3 separate loads.

    Not gon' lie, if I don't get my 3 square poops a day, I start to worry.

    I'm almost impressed with 3 a day-ers- like I don't even know how you can eat that much food to poop that much- do you all ever get like epic deuces? I feel like people who poop that often probably have smaller poops? I don't know- I'm like impressed.

    I generally go once a day at the same general time of day, like clockwork.

    Oh yeah. Didn't poop two days ago, only one poop yesterday. But I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders.

    I don't eat a whole lot of meat, so I think that's a big part of it. I bulk made a stew this weekend, so there's been a lot more red meat in my diet than I'm used to - I think that this is causing the constipation. I know a day with no poop isn't an issue for most people but I was literally LATE FOR WORK yesterday because.... well, things weren't moving at their usual hour.

    Wait, if you haven't taken a crap in 3 DAYS??? It's noon and I've already done 3 huge movements. What are you eating???? Ok, 3 in one morning is a lot but I do at least 3 a day.

    Typically once every other day, with an occasional 2 days in a row.

    Usually once a day, sometimes twice.

    Morning coffee always does the trick. Afternoon coffee sometimes does.

    I'm pretty regular and will poop at least once a day. Maybe more often. I don't think it is epic amounts. I haven't charted it out.
    I don't eat super high fiber but drink plenty of water and don't eat a very low fat diet. I am rarely constipated.

    It is 11:14 AM and I have not pooped yet today. After lunch bathroom visit is normal.

    6 AM every morning...I was in Tanzania over the holidays, and the first 3-4 days sucked because 6 AM at home is 4 in the afternoon there and we would be out in the jeep on safari with nowhere to go and you can't just get out of the jeep in the middle of the Serengeti lest you be eaten by lions or cheetah...

    but it could have made pooping an adventure!

    I poo about every 90 minutes while awake, and have to wake up once at night to go again so I never get a full nights sleep. So far my docs haven’t found anything abnormal so I guess it’s “normal”!

    I would DIE. How are you not RAW?

    My daughter says that drinking kombucha made her regular. She used to only go sporadically every few days.

    In regard to size of the load...I once woke up, peed, weighed in. Then went about my day, eating breakfast, lunch and a snack...came home and took a dump...lost 2 pounds overall. The poo weighed as much as all my meals plus an extra two pounds.

    I go at least once a day, up to three times. There is no time of day regularity though. I can't remember a time that I skipped a day, except for my first pregnancy.

    My kids are also daily.

    Every morning usually 30-40 minutes upon waking up. If I don't go I will go the following morning.

    The one day I have multiple poo's is the day of TOM. Not sure what happens this day but it seems to be a great cleaning out never the less. lol

    I'm commenting because this thread makes me giggle. Poop, hehe.
    Anyway, I got about 3 or 4 times a day if everything's in shape: 6am wake-up poop, the later morning at-work-post-coffee poop, afternoon at-work poop (sometimes it becomes a post-commute-home poop instead), and the final poop in the evening a bit before bed. If it's been over a day without pooping, I get really worried; I'm very regular.
    Although once a month, during shark week, that schedule can see more or less poops. It might have to do with me allowing myself to have as much chocolate as I want that week.
    I actually used to poop more often (every 2 hrs or so) before I started losing weight, but that probably correlates with how much I'm eating?
