How odd is this...

SO I've obviously been living under the most tremendous stress of my life the past two weeks - haven't eaten much and managed to drop my "holiday 5" without any effort. Not pooping much either (figured due to not eating much...) So I finally realize I need to go this morning - and WOW - I haven't been this constipated since I was pregnant

I even had a large mocha yesterday (and I've been avoiding dairy the past few months...) - this defies *all* logic

Hmmm - perhaps it's a side effect of the darvocet?

Good question--can't answer that one, but am glad you wrote. Have been wondering all weekend how you're feeling. Sorry to hear about the C, can you take anything to help it along?

Usually Mocha does the trick for me. I'm fine with chocolate (unless I over indulge), fine with coffee, but the combo does help me with C (I had learned that trick before I got MC).

Hope you're feeling better Mary. Stress I think can bring C on too.

Hiya Mary-----Im glad to read that U R sounding better???

And was laughing @ your ODDITIES too cus when ever I am in AZ. I always seem to get CONSTIPATED---

It drives me nuts----My eating habits never change?? and etc.--then I was wondering maybe NORMAN doesnt care for AZ. so he stays PLUGGED in???

The Darvocet can be the cause of your constipation!!

Well now that we cleared up all the *poop* stuff

have a great day Mary---

I think I feel something rumbeling

Ahhh! Theres the Mary we all know and Love. I had alot of pain killers after knee replacement and got constipated, but I'd like to think it is an improvement in the colitis area of your life. Love Oma

Hi Mary,

I got very constipated after my gallbladder operation and I think it was due to the pain meds. It went away after I stopped.

Love,
Cristi

I too had the big C after I broke my ankle....The pain pills did it! I finally "went" in the hospital after surgery......boy oh boy, I was ringing the buzzer for the nurse and luckily the nurse came quickly with the bed pan....yikes!
