Guy stuff! (but you wimmen won't be able to resist!)
So I will have to disappoing the Kims, Nik, Lora and all you other wimmen that are expecting me to post in regards to penises (or is it penii?). I won't even use the word penis in the post a single time.
Now on to our favorite topic POO! yes those things that make us feel like we are giving birth out our butts! You know ladies the things you denied ever having done before RNY but now you talk about on the internet! So go ahead and answer the following and add any questions that come to your mind.
1) Phantom Poo - do you have them? There are 2 versions of this the one that you swear you laid but when you flush isn't in the bowl. The second is the one that leaves no trace when you wipe!
2) Have you ever clogged the toilet BEFORE you began to wipe?
3) Do you end up wiping so much that you have considered buying stock in a toilet paper company?
4) Do you have days you wished you were french and had a bidet(sp)?
5) Done the groundhog day poo. This is where you have invested a lot of time on the toilet waiting for it to come out but just as it crowns something happens and it retreats for 3 more day?
6) Wait for your family and friends to leave the house so you don't blush on exiting the room and pray no one follws you in?

I am not a guy ...lol.. But been there - done that -- all of them.
my solution:
I take mag citrate with my calcium - at least 2 servings of 250mag + 500 calcium per day.
Evening - I take additional 800-1200 mg capsule - mag oxide. Fiber + fat in my diet - flax meal...
then...
2. plunger at every station.
3.. Wet - Wipes I need to but stock in wet wipes - flashables - even carry them in my purse - have to
4. I even research and thing of installing bidet as add on to my toilet seat, but with 4 bathrooms in the house - it is kind off expensive.
5. yes. And if that happens - enema. High water or coffee enema (google it). Have too.. get headache if I do not get it out.
6. Use fan when in and good air freshener
.
That's all what I have to say about that...

Mostly just wanted to reassure you that I did, indeed, read this, LOL!
For some reason, I don't seem to have many of the bathroom issues that most RNYers have, so most of these are completely foreign to me (although I confess to being intrigued by version one of the "phantom poo"!) I do, however, sometimes use a lot of toilet paper and other times have the second version of the "phantom poo". I live alone, so number 6 does not apply (the dogs don't care!).

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I swear my surgeon gave me the best system
I read somewhere that with a healthy digestive system you poo shortly after eating a meal (food at the top of the colon pushes waste out the bottom). That is so me. I go every day. Sometimes more than once. Almost always have.
