OK I know this isn't the best thing to talk about but here is the only place I can ask.

Is is normal to have to pee about every hour.... I've been really trying to make sure I drink all the water I'm supposed to because this is the third time I'm going back on phase 1. (Didn't lose much the first two times and then did the Special K thing and didn't lose any there either) People on here recommended that I drink all the water I can to "flush" my system out......

Then this morning I had the worst stomach ache and was with #2 for about 15 minutes... (that's not like me)

I'm eating all the veggies I can and watching everything else. No Wine, no sugar, (SF jello) and really watching those saturated fats on the labels....

Help?

Thank you....

Yes!!! When you drink alot of water it is flushing your system and obviously goes straight through. I also have to run to the bathroom more frequently because of the extra water intake. But it's a good thing so keep it up!

YES, YES, YES, you need to pee a lot. That is a good sign that you are drinking good amounts of water. Peeing a lot is good for your urinary tract and bladder health, not to mention it's great for your kidneys. Trust me, if you've every had a urinary tract infection, you know how important it is to be healthy in that area! (FYI, UTIs are a living hell.)

Also, #2 is difficult in Phase 1. I was going very rarely, and it was painful and of a long duration when I finally would go. Now I take FiberChoice daily, and I find that I am on a good schedule, in fact better than I was before I started SBD. I almost never have a difficult time with it.

Good luck!
