let's talk about poo, bayybee

Mar 24, 2015

Cramps from my lower back into my thighs and lady parts. Oh, the intermittent pain. Here and there, but continuing to get worse until I was calling every doc I have to check if I was seriously constipated or having ovary malfunctions. I poop daily, so who'd a thought it'd be a backed up sewer.... I tried to take care of business by investing in the plum smart juice, which went quickly and didn't restock. Oh, the pain came back with a vengeance until I finally hit the ol' er in the evening after I surely thought I had developed deadly uterine cancer or something along those lines. They made sure my electrolytes were good, took and exray of my back and delivered me the news (that I was somewhat knowing was happening). The poo. They could indeed see the poo. Clogging up the system, backed up to my eyeballs. Just kidding, but backed up far enough. How, do you ask, does one still poo daily and have this problem? I have no idea. But I will tell you this; I now keep 4 bottles of plum smart juice, fiber tablets, kefir, stool softenets, milk of mag, and laxatives on hand. Probably has something to do with the weight that comes off in chunks that I have written about. Oh, and i have laid off the cheese. Lol. I laugh at myself. 

I have noticed that my hair is definitely coming out more in the shower and hair brush. I have a lot of hair, so no biggie at this point. Still sucks it is happening despite how "right" I am doing everything else.

Lastly, I have noticed that I can eat more than 1/2 a cup of most things. Maybe 3/4 if it's certain things. Some days I get nervous about it, then I will eat meat or something with umph and feel thrilled that a half cup is plenty. Liquids go down easily now, including water, so happy bout that too. Hit the mid point with my loss and get scared it's coming to an end since I want to lose the rest and never could. Funny the things we fear. While I am only 4 months out and on track, this fear that the weight loss will stop despite my commitment scares the hell out a me.
