Thanks for thinking of me, but I didn't have any constipation. I gained weight because I was eating and not getting the amount of exercise I needed. I sat most of the day watching wonderful documentaries. It was good for my mind and soul, but my body needed more activity. Even though I took walks in between movies at least twice a day, it wasn't sustained walking for a half and only lasted about ten minutes at a time. However, after just one day, I have dropped a pound. Eating at home doesn't have the salt content eating out for a week gave me.
