Post Menopausal and on the 17 day challenge!

CONSTIPATED!! REALLY!? I don't get it. I never have this problem! And with all this fiber, and all this water?! I normally take three prunes every night before bed, and am regular as clock work. Yesterday I broke down and took two herbal laxitives - nothing. So I took two more at bed time - one tiny little movement this morning. So I took two this morning again, but normally..... normally just two will clean me out!

And the weight loss has stopped - probably because I'm eating, but not eliminating waste. Is anyone else having this problem?

This is Day 11 for me and I have only had 3 BMs.......I am not sure either.  And, when I have had them it is very uncomfortable.  I have not done anything as of yet.........but I sure am open for suggestions.  Good Luck!

Try the chicken vegetable soup.    I was having major issues as well,  made that soup for dinner last night and was up 3 times in the night emptying out.

Also,   if you are not drinking enough water with all that fiber than it will stick like concrete in your intestines...  are you drinking the 8 glasses of water a day?

I was so relieved to see - on the chat today - that many others are suffering the same. In fact it's pretty normal. But Dr. Mike did not address it in his book. I guess we're the guinea pigs huh?  I will give the Chicken Vegetable soup a try. I did make my own, not following their recipe, and didn't experience any movement, so I'll give theirs a try. and yes, I do drink all that water. At least 7 and usually 9 glasses a day. I don't really find it that difficult, though I did at first. So it ain't that!
