Having problems with constipation from a procedure the week before but hopefully all sorted now - not so much of a bloated feeling

For the last 3 months I have been parking as far away from my shopping areas as I can. I may not be exercising but I am getting in lots of steps. One of my clients told me I have a "bounce in my step" - much easier when 73 pounds are gone!!0 -
