barbaric process
just a small rant or statement have any of you tryed to explain the process we go through during our transition of the chosen surgery we have went through ? not just the weight loss the emotional rolla coaster and resetting our goals in life and that instead of always being the one with the solutions and answers being the one who looks out for yourself so you can help others after self care i can help other, sometimes i need to look out for me first (maybe selfish ) i feel im better after my personal care comes first then i can move forward to help others crazy stuff that goes through my head we are all healing and experiencing trauma in our lives as we move forward one needs to look to eliminate the trauma in their life to move past that and become the person you want to be NOT TO FORGET just move forward in this life we have chosen rant over have a great positive day everyone cheers !!!!!!

smooth move tea is very genital for me any ways merrilax does not work for me unless i use the whole bottle lol apples do help i eat half an apple as well (takes forever to eat ) i have never had pain like that before rather cut my arm off with a butter knife than deal with being impacted again

Constipation
