    Okay. Although this does smell (pun intended) like a bait thread, I'll bite. Put me in the corner with those recommending more fruits, veggies, water and a different doctor. FWIW, if I don't eat fruits, the gates only open every three days. With fruits, especially raisins, it's a daily half pound encounter. Good luck! Ciao, Marc

    yah just once a week....not sure why, I had a colonoscopy and use fiber supplements, maybe just nerves? But I usually average once a week!

    That is insane! I've never heard of someone pooping once a week. Not like I talk about it with my friends or anything, but that's just crazy! Does your doctor think that's normal? I always thought normal was pooping at least once a day. Your poor colon! I do weigh myself after my morning poo, but really 3lbs? lol I'm fascinated with this conversation....

    I once had a similar problem I go about every other day so I asked my doc is this was normal and she said anything from 3 times a day to 3 times a week is normal, so I'd definitely get this checked out.

    To the OP:

    Actually, that's about accurate. After urinating, a person tends to lose 1 lb and after defecating, they tend to lose 2-4lbs. Weird how much things weigh in our intestines, right!?

    If you go only once a week, that turd better weigh ten pounds.

    My friend's dad is a (now retired) gastroenterologist. his personalized plate was "go lightly" (however it was he spelled it)
    :laugh:
    This is also my favorite topic of the day. along w/ the weightloss BS topic
    well the first time i went 10 days without pooping and ended up in the hospital, they did x-rays and a CATSCAN and couldn't even give me and enema because I was so backed up........... so I had to drink 2 gallons of this nasty laxative and **** for hours :( ever since then I haven't pooped normally and the doctor says he has no idea what it could be, just that my colon isn't functioning correctly

    OMG -- I bet that 2 gallon laxative was "GoLytely", right? My dad had to take that and it was a nightmare for him (he almost went to the emergency room because of that stuff). However, it turned out to be a major part of the cure for his chronic constipation. His doctor prescribed one round of GoLytely followed up by a daily dose of Miralax and Metamucil.

    He's been doing his "M&M" regimen for over a year and has been perfectly regular since (for the first time in over 30 years).

    He has also decided to name his next boat, GoLytely :-)

    LOL on the "Go Lytely" boat! I am an NP (In a hospital) and I saw a patient who had a colonoscopy the day before.....he told me "when they came in with that HUGE bottle of stuff to drink I thought I was getting punked! I kept looking around for the cameras, like are you serious??"

    Old people are funny! :)

    I would be curious to know what your daily diet consists of? How many calories you consume each day?

    well i eat about the same thing everyday

    for breakfast i have a frozen breakfast biscuit thing with bacon egg and cheese and vitamin water with miralax and benefiber in it

    lunch: turkey sandwich and some chips and maybe half of a can of pop

    dinner: today all i had was a piece of bread but usually chicken and rice or spaghetti---you know, real dinner lol

    thats about it
    I gotta say: If I ate this?I wouldn't poop either. Fruits, vegetables, WHOLE GRAINS!

    PS: I'd be careful with "Dr. Schulze's Intestinal Formula #1" Looks like several stimulant laxatives in one "formula".

    So according to my scale....I weigh 3 lbs less after pooping! Is this right?!

    Dang that must have one hell of a do-do.

    I never lose anything weightwise afterwards - I am beginning to think it is a conspiracy :laugh:

    Congratulations on your 3lb poop baby! I always weigh more after I poop.

    Wow. Another person defying the laws of nature.

    Of all the weird mfp threads I've seen, this one is right up there, people.

    I've always heard the phrase "a pound a poop" which I interpreted as on average you'd drop a pound every time you pooped but I've checked before and the scale doesn't seem sensitive enough to tell some times lol

    Curiosity led me to weigh my "output" once - 300g or 11 ozs - so a pound a poop sounds about right.
