First of all, I was having a nice day until I read this. But alas, here's my two cents. Since you said you will be travelling, not eating will be a problem. Why? As other comments pointed out and as I went through this myself a few weeks ago(not intentionally, just financially dependent on irresponsible traumatised individuals who get to decide when/what/why I eat- I am working on it, don't worry), not eating for extended amounts of time gets you weird cramps and liquid poop. You don't want that, especially when you need to move. I don't know the environment you will be in, but aim to eat a bit those days, processed solid foods will do. Cheese, eggs, bread(bagels),plain pasta(ALREADY BOILED) if available. Avoid sugar in fairly large quantities(dehydrating), coffee(obvs), fruits, even vegetables. Your body will hate you for this, so when it's over please take it easy and eat&drink water properly. It's good that you will be moving, hopefully not too intense activity(because you'd need to eat/drink water properly) as that will distract your brain from wanting to eat/drink water.(again, sauce: former retail worker, wasn't done intentionally, I can't stress this enough. It just sorta happens). Make sure that you at least sleep and rest properly, and as others have pointed out, this isn't sustainable and not recommended by any means. Long term lack of nutrition fucks you up in ways I can't even begin to describe, take that shit from me. In the offchance you tattoo your asshole(and that you are one who has that tentacle tattooed on the asshole and are having it re done/touched up), you can simply wash after you poop, you don't have to go through this. Also you can try anti diuretic and anti liquid poop(for a lack of a better term) medicine. Looking foward for an update, hope you'll be ok.

This is why I joined lemmy.
Ok i avoided replying to this for long enough. Based on your requirements, I'm making the following recommendations:
-
Nutrient-rich meal replacement bars: These bars are designed to provide a balanced mix of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fat) and essential vitamins and minerals. They are often fortified to meet nutritional needs, making them a convenient and space-saving option. However, they should not be relied upon as the sole source of nutrition for an extended period of time.
-
Dried fruits and nuts: Dried fruits are a concentrated source of natural sugars, fiber, and some essential nutrients. They provide energy and can help satisfy hunger. Nuts, on the other hand, are a good source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. They offer satiety and provide a range of beneficial nutrients.
-
Jerky: Jerky, typically made from lean meats, is a good source of protein and can provide energy. It is compact, lightweight, and doesn't require refrigeration. Be mindful of the sodium content.
-
Meal replacement shakes: These shakes are formulated to provide a balance of macronutrients and essential micronutrients. They often contain protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, and a blend of vitamins and minerals. They are easy to consume and require minimal preparation.
-
Energy gels: Energy gels are designed to provide quick energy in the form of simple carbohydrates. They are often used by athletes during intense physical activities. While they offer a rapid energy boost, they do not provide substantial nutrients beyond carbohydrates.
I was here
We've all had our in-jokes, but holding-it-in-jokes? That's deucedly clever.
Oh my God, I have so many questions.
#thepooppost
I would recommend against doing this because you will end up feeling awful. We poo for a reason. Please be careful.
That said, immodium and low strength codeine both bung you up- depending on where you live you may be able to get both from a pharmacy.
Just adding a comment so people will believe me when I tell them I was here when the "3 days without pooping" post happened :)
Good luck on your journey, OP!
I regularly do this on backpacking trips.
Don't ask me how, I don't even know. I call it Camping Constipation Mode. I usually leave on a Thursday afternoon and get home Sunday night without feeling the urge to shit. And I eat as normally as you can when backpacking, I guess. Seems like most of the dehy food should make you thread a needle at 10 paces but doesn't seem to affect me that way.
Can you tell us when you're done? This is already one of the most interesting posts on lemmy
I was here lmao. Starting to love lemmy
someone should create a badge to mark this special occasion. "I was here for the famous poop post of 2023"
This is the shit posting I like to see
I think there's one important question we haven't covered yet. Do you also need to limit the amount you fart?
Because that could affect food choice. Or is that not a factor and you'll be able to discretely let loose somewhere?
This is one of those threads thatβs going go be legendary is it? Like the eating their own foot on early Reddit
I'm going to tell my descendents this was the origin of the phrase "I shit you not"
Dude, I know you can't say why, but I sincerely hope you come back after your...excursion? And update us all with the results. And may e tell us why when you have the chance.
Just coming in here and saying you can't shit for 3 days. What on earth is this.
Did you sign an NDA?
Everything about this is fantastic. This level of shitposting is exactly what the fediverse needs
I didn't see this answer, so sorry if it's been said, but just don't eat. It's three days, after all. Incidentally I've read that if you ate solely what your body needed to survive, it would take 20-40 days to even build up enough waste to have to poop.
This is absolutely correct. You can survive just fine for three days with no food. You'll be tired and cranky but alive.
You're putting so much effort to avoid pooping... but you should put the same effort into making sure that once this whole thing is over, there's a toilet you can sit on for a few hours without being interrupted. If I was you, I'd choose one in advance and call there for a reservation.
I just want to be a part of this history. Also maybe like protein shakes?
You're gonna need a bigger knife
OP, the answer is obviously to starve yourself and use a buttplug
