I have fasted for three straight days on many occasions and it was pretty easy for me. Drinking zero-calorie beverages (coffee, tea, water) should be fine. This is not professional medical advice and definitely do not do this if you are an alcoholic, diabetic, or pregnant. Once you break the fast, do so with moderation.
coffee makes a lot of people poop more

This sounds like you're on the hajj and don't want to use the crappy bathrooms and wait till you're in the hotel to poop. I would say drink lots of water, have some nuts and dates, drink some of the juices, stay away from rice and meat dishes. Enjoy the experience while you're there!
I'm honestly more curious about this than I was about any of the locked safes.
OP, there's help available if you have OCD.
If you make it to wherever you're going, please let us know the story!
Commemorative comment for the start of Lemmy lore.
If it's only for 3 days you need nothing unless you get diarrhea.
Avoid fiber like a plague, already
So no to popular fruits and vegetables, no carrots, beets, strawberry, apples
Hmm but also it would be good to actually poop last day before hike so maybe take some pills for that day before for a huge splasshh bbbrrrr
When you return expect to give birth to a shitman
Leading up go on an mostly liquid diet. Diet shakes would probably do it. And just don't eat solid food. This, BTW, is going to suck when it's over as you'll feel like you need your bowel disimpacted. But it is possible.
Imodium
For limited opportunities to pee, I'd carry a good sized bottle and limit drinking to sipping water/an electrolyte beverage through a straw.
For limiting poop, I'd try to be empty ahead of time, and just take something solid like bread and cheese which means you probably could go through three days without pooping.
Could you give us an update after your.... endeavours... how it went?
