Need to lose weight can't lose weight don't over eat. On fixed income so can't afford weight loss surgery, don't know what to do. I have tryed everything, nothing seems to work. Do you know anyone who helps people with this problem who are poor. I have lots of medical problems due to my weight. including breathing issues.

People who are obese have stools just like everyone else, unless there's something long with them (just like everyone else). Stools should generally be soft, but formed, sort of like toothpaste. And like toothpaste, it should sort of snake, once it hits the water, slowly sinks, and hits the bottom of the bowl.
