on a completely different topic.... if you've read my blog from the start you know about my bowel issues. well they've gotten far worse post surgery and fill since now i really am eating mostly protein and not getting a lot of fibre in. this weekend i decided it was time for some more smooth move tea.... that stuff really does the job, but i need to find a solution that will work. i can (and certainly should) add more fruits and veggies in by juicing in the mornings... but i know that in juicing i'm stripping out much of the fibre that would help with this particular problem. anyone else suffer in this way? anyone have any ideas????

I was told by my surgeon to make sure I took benefibre - its a non-tasting powder that can be added to my morning coffee. I don't know if you have that but something similar should be available to you.
Hope that helps.
I use flaxseed. You can buy it fresh and grind it, or buy it already ground up. And what a gorgeous picture!
YES!!! I had this same problem for about a year after surgery. First, use Benefiber in your drinks and soups. It won't solve the problem entirely but it helps. Also try: raisins, sundried tomatoes, and apples. They will all help you poop. Stay away from Smooth Moove because it has Senna in it, which is really harmful and addictive. Take a stool SOFTENER if you need to. Also, coffee. I've been pooping like a mad woman lately since I started drinking coffee every day. Just watch the cream and sugar because those calories add up!
