I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack? (lemmy.world)

Please don't ask why I need this.

It would be great if the food also made me sweat less.

It has to be something I can easily find.

EDITS FOR CLARIFICATION:

I am not planning on partaking in any illegal activities.
I do not condone the use of illegal substances and am not planning on smuggling anything anywhere.
I am not going on a hiking trip or mailing myself anywhere.
I will be staying in a tent (not a small one; a huge with with air conditioning and everything). I will be traveling for five days, returning to my current location on day 3 and traveling again on the last two days. I will not poop on the first three days (hopefully).
Clean toilets with all the expected facilities will be available to me. I am not going to poop for reasons that I wish to keep to myself.
If it gets bad, like really bad, like a-piece-of-poop-is-literally-halfway-out-my-ass bad, I will use the toilets.

Please stop asking because I am not telling anyone the reason.

This whole thread is hilarious, especially because I regularly go 5-7 days. Longer if I am traveling. I even take fiber!

I recently had to do the bowel screen and because I go so long between samples I had to get special forms and submit each sample individually, lol.

Hey anything from once a week to three days a day is "normal" 😉

That sounds unlikely, you must be full of shit.

If it's true, well... you must be full of shit.

It depends on the diet, I grow up with a diet that is high on oil, chilli, and veggie, I had no problem pooping everyday.

Then I went to college, the only veggies I can find are overcooked broccoli or cold iceberg lettuce. I can easily go a week without pooping, since my digestive system is just not used to these kind of diet.

Obviously it is extremely uncomfortable to go weeks without pooping. I would prefer to poop like normal, but I cannot find the diet I am used to in college.

Eat a full MRE the day before. Good luck ever pooping again.

Have you ever considered how much of your body weight at any given time is poop?

[–] indomara@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

No, but I did once read that the length of human intestines can vary anywhere from 3-7 meters, so it stands to reason that some people are just slower to process things.
