Hello again, I am about to start my morning ritual on day 3. I did have a little constipation this morning upon wakening, and realized that I also need to do something about eating more well balanced foods to include more vegetables and fruit--especially grapes. I have gotten into a bad habit prior to the holidays with eating foods that I normally don't. Not only have I gained weight, but am also eating foods that are not good for the treatment and with just having the colon surgery. Starting today, I am going to eat more of the good things and go back to eating the fun stuff in moderation. I have heard that prune juice is also good to have around in case one has this problem. Definitely need to keep a gentle laxative on hand. I will let you know how it goes, and I do hope that you will have better success. Is next week your one week off? All the Best in the New Year!
