For seven months now, my beardie has pooped twice, and is barely eating. However, she if very fit. She sits on her rock all day, and doesn't seem to be sleeping. she is the happiest thing when I'm playing with her, though. We've taken her to a clinic and she's not egg bound. Suggestions?

Not enough information.
What did the vet say the issue was ?
What tests did they do ?
If she is not eating anything solid , don't expect to see her doing any poos , it's a simple equation.
Can you give us very thorough rundown on your husbandry and her setup , see my cheatsheet viewtopic.php?f=6&t=234738&p=1806050#p1806050
, it will give some clues for how to tweek things if your discover you have some issues in her husbandry or her setup (lighting, temperature).
Agreed, if she doesn't eat then she won't poop solids. But there is definitely a reason that she's not eating, and it's not brumation for 7 months, nor if she is playing and such.
Please answer all of the questions in the link about her, her enclosure, her lighting, her temperatures, etc. And explain what the vet did and said, as it is not normal for a beardie to not eat for 7 months, though we don't even know how old she is...Photos help too. Be as detailed as you can about your lighting and temperature zones, as the problems usually lie in the lighting and temps.
