If your protein is not over 60gms a day you will not lose.

Yhe GNC lean shakes are really good and comparable in taste to Pure Protein but cheaper and have 25 gms of protein

Hey dawn denise...im from nc too

Oh and I went with Dr. Sharpe and Dr. NG at Rex. They are awesome!!!! Ni complications at all.

Awesome!!! Glad to hear so many of us North Carolinians are getting healthy!!! My surgery was July 3. Highest weight was 307 in January, 250 day of surgery and 215 today. I was a size 24 in January and a loose 18 now. My only strugles are chicken of any kind and constipation. I use miralax and colace to stay regular. Feeling fantastic!!!!!!

I hit my first stall the end of week 3 and am getting ready to be in week 6 and have just started back losing. It will happen. O did drop a size those 2 weeks even tho the scale stayed the same

I am only 6 weekes out and I am testing the waters with foods daily. I have a list of thingd I can't tolerate right now and will try later. I get the same feeling when I eat dry meat as I dob if I take a bite too many. It is a miserable feeling. Throwing up is great compared to the pain in your chest. I personally have zero appetite and and even if it is really good food I struggle making sure I eat enough. I "overate"one time and im not even sure it wasnt more of a texture thing than too much food. Anothe biggoe is not drinking for atleast 30min-1hr after you eat so you dont stretch your stoma out and can have a full feeling after you eat.

Yes.. more WF but yes. I had an awesome experience at Rex

Thats a good thing. Bowel sounds are exactly that. Things are moving. When its quite thing are sitting still

Lets try this again. I am a nurse. I was an emergency room nurse for years.

Yes i am a nurse. Was an lx

Im sorry. It is a miserable feeling. The great thinf about Miralax is it is gentle enough to use daily wothout making you dehydrated. I ended up after I manually disimpacted using a warm olive oil enema. I retained it for an hour ( abou a cup) and then emptoed before going to bed. When I got up the next morning what was left in threctum had broken down and was so much easoer to pass.

Im a nurse and work for a GI practice. Uou can safely take Miralax up to 4 times a day if need be. I did not have any issues immediately following surgery and an impaction snuck up on me. I was taking colace 3 times a day. I had to manually disimpact my self use an enema after that and took Miralax 4 times a day for 2 days to get cleaned out. Now as maintenance I take it twice a day to stay regular.

Its awesome to see some local people on here!

I had mine done through Rex on July 3rd. Who are you doing yours through?
