    I don't know. It's probably something that can be computed somehow if you knew all the formulas. But I only got as far as Calc II. I know a couple of applied math PhD's.. I'll float this one past them and see if they can come up with some solution.

    Maybe they can work it out with pencil and paper. ba-da-bing.

    I'm just really glad to know I'm not the only one who weighs AFTER I poo.
    Whenever I haven't gone for a day or two I take The Ultimate Cleanse vitamins. Usually taking them just one day helps and I'm not crying and moaning when I finally go.

    Also...maybe you should try some Activia yogurt...isn't that stuff suppose to regulate that kinda thing? lol

    definitely LOLing but I am in the same boat:blushing: Twice a week max. Never had a 3lb turd though...I'd probly pass out. Not a good way to be found by 9-1-1

    She's serious, though! Too much straining can make you vagal down... which causes a drop in heart rate and you can pass out or go into arrest!

    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 :-)

    My mom has the same problem and doctors can't figure out a cause. Sometimes she doesn't go for over a week. The other day she found that McDonald's coffee clears her out awesomely, so she's been drinking that a lot more in the mornings!


    I swear I remember reading somewhere that coffee is a mild laxative. Not sure if that's correct, though.

    In moderation, for people who almost never drink it.
    For me, it's the exact opposite. In fact, if I drink it, I can 100% guarantee you that on days I drink it, it will dehydrate me and I won't go.

    So the consensus seems to be: Drink plenty of water, eat plenty of fruits and veggies. Shannon, can you try that for say, a month, and let us know if it helps? :drinker:

    I guess it could be some kind of medical condition where peristalsis of the intestines is not happening correctly.

    lmao... 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

    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!
    Maybe IBS (irritable bowl syndrome)?
    I too am a once a weeker and this is the reason.

    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....

    you know what, I think you have irritable bowel syndrome, girl

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

    Ditto. Don't know why or how, but happens all the time to me. (the weight gain, not the 3 pound turd)

    ^^^ Me too

    Well... I like to imagine I'm pooping fat/extra weight... Can't say I've ever had one be quite that, er, realistic before, though.

    Haha. This is what I needed to read. I really needed a good laugh. Keep it coming!

    She can't. She needs another week to develop another 3lb bomb. Haven't you been reading the thread?

    I'm beginning to think she isn't the only one full of it!
