Weigh less after pooping?

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

Why did you weigh yourself before and after pooping?

Who doesn't? :happy:

I have bowel movements about 3-4 times a week and yet they are still large. I save them for when I'm at work or at Walmart because they have more powerful toilets.

There truly is nothing better than getting paid to poop.

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

I think you are doing something wrong.

Yes, the rest of us who shop at Walmart really appreciate this.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
The laugh I just let out reading this!

My MIL has the same problem, with the not going frequently enough. She's been to the doctor several times and they have yet to figure it out.

My husband does that all the time and swears he ways less after pooping, lol.

Corn people, lots and lots of corn.......just saying:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

when i was a child, around 4/5, i only went around once every ten-14 days according to my mum. I was taken to see a specialist who just said it was a 'lazy' colon and other than eating the right things there wasn't alot that could be done as long as i was ok, healthy and not suffering !!!
This continued until i was in my mid 20's when i spent 2 years on a vegetarian diet then suddenly everything changed and i was going more frequently.

Even now though, i still only go around 3 times a week :ohwell:

*note to self, weigh myself after pooping lol

Warm prune juice, that's what you need. Heat it up and drink it down. Warming it up is the key.

so you need the taste of hot *kitten* to produce?

Not me..I'm doing just fine. It's a helpful tip for our 3 lb/once a week pooper.

hahaha

I've also hit Meijers too. I only keep toilet paper for emergencies. My bowel movements are handled in other locations.

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

Whoa, no veggies? You need to eat a lot of green leafy vegetables and fruits, for one thing! try that!

I was laughing so much I forgot this is very serious.
This post is correct in suggesting veggies. Also fruits. You should be eating so much more. I have also added prunes daily. just a serving. When I was not living a heatlhy lifestyle, I was going every 2-3 days. Now I am regular again. The Fruits and veggies help so much. especially the prunes. And its all natural so much better than medication and processed powders.

Have you seen a specialist? Or maybe a nutritionist? Maybe there are some foods you are eating that make you constipated. This is an extremely serious issue and you should consult another doctor if your doctor is stumped.

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'm not kidding when i say i've tried everything lol the doctor said i have a nonfunctioning colon and he doesn't know the cause......the only thing i can do is wait it out or take laxatives

I've had a problem for years with major pain in my lower right side. It would hurt so bad even sex was painful (don't think it people!) I've passed out from it and everything. It felt like I was constipated but nothing would work. They tested me inside out and upside down for years and years. Ultra sounds, barium enema, colonscopy, gall bladder, liver, you name it. A heating pad wrapped around my side would be the only relief I could find. After a couple hours or days sometimes it would go away. They never did figure out. My theory was that I was getting blocked up for some reason. So, I bought this Ultimate Cleanse at the local health store. It's 2 bottles of vitamins/ herbs. When I feel that pain coming on or I haven't pooped for a day or so, I take one of each in the am and one of each in the pm. You're supposed to increase it by one of each every other day but I've only ever made it to 2 of each one time. I always go and the pain vanished. SOOOO for what it's worth there ya have it.
