OOOHHHH THE BLOAT

Someone PLEASE make it go away! I have had the worst stomach bloat over the last 3 days. Its killing me! If this doesnt go away before the cruise, I'm gonna smack someone!!!! This is terrible. I know I've had a few bad weeks eating totally clean, but you can tell this is NOT fat. My ab muscles are shoved forward and you can still see them. This leads me to believe the bloat can only be from.....yep, you guessed it...constipation! Ugh!!! The "C" word horrifies me! The thing I dont get and never will:

Why is it that you totally change your lifestyle of eating, exercise, drink 50 million glasses of water and yet, you still remain constipated?!?! You'd think, by changing all of that and eating well, losing weight that your body would really start kicking in and making things work the right way. I know the subject is one people dont like to discuss. My being in the medical profession, this subject doesn't bother me to talk about at all. Patients come in every day talking about constipation. My advice is almost always DRINK MORE WATER. Most of these people drink 2 glasses of water a day and they think thats enough. But, when you are already drinking over a gallon a day, taking fiber supplements and doing everything you are supposed to do....what do you tell them then???

Blah....oh well. I just hope and pray its all better in the next 4 days so I can wear my bikini with pride and comfort on the cruise.

I'm sure all will be well before you leave! Since I know you are already good on your fiber and water, I don't really have any advise to give. I guess I've been fortunate not to have had this problem. I think my apples a day keeps me flowing! lol
