Measuring Output

I was thinking that, admitting that you put enough salt to prevent the water from the enema from getting absorbed by the colon, if you weigh yourself before and after your enema, or series of enemas, you should be able to determine how much water you got in.

A gallon of water weighs 8.33lbs, that does not include soap and salt weight, which can actually add or not, so I would say divide by 8 even (easier when calculated mentally) and you should have a good idea.

I have gained about 35 pounds once, meaning I was over 4 quarts.

Of course, one has to account feces weight, which I do not know the weight and density of, since I never was interest in playing with it, but one might know 😶

35 pounds, by your means of computation would be about 4 GALLONS, not 4 quarts.

You have something wrong in either your calculations or weigh-ins or you are making up a story.

No one is taking a four gallon enema.

8.5 pounds then 😁

I thought about it afterwards and thought that would be too much. I am still trying to figure out the lbs to kilos conversion stuff.

Sometimes I go on a precision electronic scale before and after the enema to be sure I have expelled all tha water I assumed. Two liters = two kilos (I'm italian).

Hi I have weighed my self be for and after one time before was apx 225lb holding the water 240lbs 7qts of water after 225 lbs it took awile for all the water to make it out

From what I have read about medical procedure for administering enemas, the volume of the OUTPUT is often measured to ensure that nothing is going badly wrong. This is more important the bigger the enema gets. And although a lot of people know how much goes in to the drop, I don't read here much about anyone knowing the precise outcome of their efforts.

I suggest that for the people who really want to take the big ones it might be a good idea to include output measurement into their routines at least once in a while. For a series of enemas it's good to know that half of the last one is not still up there.

I myself have purchased a graduated dollar-store bucket for this purpose. I like to play in the shower so it's not hard to use. I am learning a lot about how long it really takes to get rid of large volumes. And though I am not necessarily aroused by large buckets of excreta I find it interesting to really see the volume...

I never measure any of it, going in or out. The box said my bag holds 2qts and to fill it 2/3rds full, so I don't know if that's 2qts or 1.222 quarts... Either way, I always fill it up as much as possible 😄

Sorry, recreational enemas are not medically necessary enemas administered in a hospital where they need to measure your fluid intake and output. All you're doing is giving yourself extra work in cleaning out a dirty bucket after your enema.

Anything "still up there" as you say, will surely make its way out in not very much time.

A gallon (4 quarts) weighs right at 8 pounds. Why not weigh-in before, during and after. Digital bathroom scales can resolve to the nearest half-pound, which is about one cup.

One of the nice things about weight is you can tell what you've absorbed in total (as in, water added to the blood stream as well as in the intestines). I'm sure people have experienced the "endless peeing" after a series; while some of this may be "stuck" water, some is absorbed during the enema.

This is an interesting topic. I've done the weigh in thing. Although it may sound a little gross, I have a calibrated container that I expel into and then can measure exactly how much comes back out. I started using the container to make sure the Ivory "soap sticks" I use came back out.

NO INTENT TO OFFEND OR DISGUST HERE

Weight of 1 US Gallon of water = approx. 8.35 lb (about 3.79 kg)

Weight of 1 Imperial gallon (i.e. UK measure) of water weighs 10 pounds by definition, at a specified temperature and pressure. (4.536 kg)

One CC of pure water weighs one gram and therefore one liter (1,000 CC) weighs 1 kg. At 4 degrees Centigrade, which is water's maximum density, one liter, therefore, weighs 2.205 lbs. Interestingly, that non-linearity of water's mass vs temperature is one of the reasons that there is life on earth. Consider that ice is colder than 4 C and has less density the warmer water..At 4 degrees the warmer water sinks to the lake's bottom. Therefore ice floats and the colder the ice gets, the density goes lower and displaces less water. If this were not true and the ice sank, there would be no liquid water in the winter for your enemas.

Now, the matter of the electronic scales. I have two of them and it seems they never agree because the number you get is only as good as the last standard calibration. A second factor depends on how you stand on them. These errors can vary widely. The scales are fun to play with but as measurements of water you have on board, an accurate measurement may be nearly impossible. Another variable not mentioned before, is the amount of waste material that gets dumped into the toilet upon expulsion or urination. I guess that means, "Don't count your hatches before they're chickens!"

What does all of this mean? Suzie said here, " All you're doing is giving yourself extra work in cleaning out a dirty bucket after your enema." It can be fun making these calculations and trying to figure what you have on board but no matter what you do, it's all about enjoying your enema and feeling good about yourself. No matter what you do with all of the record keeping and calculations and exercises, IT ALL COMES OUT IN THE END!

It's an enema, not a race! Enjoy it!

An enema a day keeps the doctor away!
