Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 I just gotta say, what the heck is Constipation???? You have to be kidding. I wish I could share my propensity for the bathroom with you, and maybe together we would have normal habits. Sheesh. Constipated. What a concept that is!

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 , how long has it been since you ate your watermelon? I eat it, and it comes right back out within a few hours. This may be too much info... but it even stains my toilet red. > I have bought a yummy watermelon! And really enjoying it. I'm wondering though, how watermelon helps constipation. Hasn't seemed to help me. This is the first time I've had a problem with constipation. > > thanks, > in OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 HUH? I thought it was completely normal. The first time it happened, I freaked out because of course I thought I was bleeding to death. I don't mean to gross anyone out, but the watermelon just comes out, no wastes are included in it. It shoots straight through me. I do have very strong smelling bowel movements, but I thought this was the norm. Often times it smells like what I have eaten. Please someone tell me you have the same experience? Manda in VA > > I have bought a yummy watermelon! And really enjoying it. I'm > wondering though, how watermelon helps constipation.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 Well, I hate to admit this too but I also suffer with constipation...actually have to eat something greasy fried once in a while to get the works moving...and even then its just a mover. I have only had loose or diarrhea two or three times since my mgb...maybe thats why Im a slower loser...? who knows... good luck Jeanne in NY --- Judyh1022@... wrote: > I just gotta say, what the heck is Constipation???? > You have to be kidding. > I wish I could share my propensity for the bathroom > with you, and maybe > together we would have normal habits.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 i wish i could say yes but watermelon is full of starch and starches are a no no, my husband got one last week and i love the stuff, it's mostly water and if we would be on any other diet it'd be a go for it but not on this diet, sorry. How are you doing, going good for you so far? I am on day 10 and have lost 14.6 but alot of that was loading, i gained 13 pounds loading, i am down wt wise where i ended my last round but i have a roll on my back that i want to go, i don't have much left to lose but i can see it in my inner thighs, but i can still feel that roll, maybe it is a little smaller i don't really know yet, hope it goes, i just want to do this round mostly for shaping, this stuff is so awesome, good luck to you. I hope you reach your goal. Jo From: martinezlu1080 <martinezlu1080@...> Sent: Wed, May 4, 2011 11:59:23 PMSubject: Watermelon yum Yum watermelon season I want some sooo bad.
