So, after having gastric bypass 4 1/2 years ago and being very faithful about drinking my protein, I discovered that taking in that much protein, and not being able to fit very many high fiber veggies in at meals, caused the dreaded constipation and sluggish intestines. So around the inter-webs a marvelous thing could be found. It’s a recipe for a poop muffin to help you, well, to help you go. I find for most people who have had gastric bypass, just one muffin spread out over a day works wonders, and it doesn’t taste half bad. Make sure to get in plenty of water too!
Poop Muffin
1-serving
You will need 1 microwave custard cup sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine 1/4 cup flax-seed meal, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 egg, a pinch of salt, and a sweetener of your choice. This could be a packet of Splenda or other cook-safe sweetener, or 1 tsp of molasses. You could even use agave and just play with the amount to get it to suit your taste. If you don’t have a sensitivity to sugar, use it. After mixing it well, pour it into the custard cup and microwave for 1 minute.
Allow to cool completely and enjoy. It really is the best tasting way to get in that fiber, plus the protein of that one egg!
