Hey, don't apologize! It is a part of life and a pretty important part too!
Keep in mind that you are causing a major upheaval in your body and the more remedys you throw at it, the long it may take to regulate. I'm not a big one on using aids, drugs or such, but there is certainly a time and place! I've been backed up before and bawling while trying to go, so I know where you are and am not making light of it.
Once it gets to the point of stuck is probably the problem. You need to work on the cause and not just solutions. You may need to take something daily for a while to keep things moving in the future. Right now it sounds like you just need some short term relief, but after that, try one thing at a time for at least a few days.

You are doing awesome on the weight loss - I haven't been as diligent the past 2 weeks and haven't been losing anymore. Heck, I've still completely changed how I eat and don't eat all the garbage anymore, you'd think I'd still be dropping a little!
Hang in there, we are all rooting/pushing for you!
