Anyone ever done a 'colon cleanse' ?



Recommended Posts

Well because obviously some people are still interested in having more information and experiences shared. I'd be happy to hear more both pro and con from people who have their own info, and other new opinions. I can't know whether what Jack has to say is a repeat of what's been said, or whether he has some new information to bring to the table until he's said it! I think as long as people are civil, avoid drama, and if you're tired of the topic and don't want to discuss it anymore - simple! unsubscribe from the thread, just don't read it! Then those of us who want to learn more and chat more can.

I pray this subject is over with for discussion....I think it has been discussed to death, and the fact remains what is right for one person is not always right for another, so why argue it. Me, I loved my colon cleanse ;) OK I didn't love it.....but it did the job. For others who despise the idea my great idea is Don't Do It, but don't be critical of those of us that did. OK, AMEN to the subject as Telly said it has been rehashed enough and continues to show up every day.

I'd be interested in what Jack has to say. I figure, the more info the better.

I don't mean to sound snarky at all, really, but if anyone has read enough on the subject, then they have the option to not read the thread anymore.

I just finished reading Wicked, I loved it. Definitely recommend it, and his other reverse fairy tales too. sleep apnea, yeah that can mess with you! You take care too! I'm fond of witchiness, I've known many different types, and haven't met a witch I didn't like. I agree there's a little witch in all women. ;)

I for one, am interested in your knowledge Jack. This thread does not need to be a forum for arguments. I have taken HMF Replete to balance the bowels & such. I no longer take it b/c of the expense, but I do wonder how beneficial it is. I think this is different than a colon cleanse...am I correct? :) Is it beneficial to "cleanse" the bowels? Wouldn't your bowels work better if your spine was in alignment anyway, so why the need? These are just thoughts this thread has triggered in my mind.

If you don't see a need for further info, please allow Jack to share and don't read this thread. I could get this info via PM, but I do have a lot of respect for Jack and the knowledge he has. I look forward to hearing what Jack has to say.

P.S. Jack ~ Are there any concerns going to the chiropractor with the band? I apologize in advance if you've already answered this question. Thanks!!

I was wondering if anyone has read that book "weight loss surgery for dummies" ? I ordered some Protein Powder from unjury.com yesterday and noticed they sold that there. I was curious if anyone knew how good/helpful it was.

Hi, no I haven't read that book was it good? I am only sticking to books that are stricktly lapband-I find that WLS surgery books spend more time on GB than lapbanding. My sis had GB, I know all about that topic, so it would be redundant. But, I certainly would get it if it had important topics on banding!

I get my Protein Powder from Rite Aid/GNC I use soy protein....comes in yummy flavors!!!

Hi all. Several threads have dealt with this topic recently. Especially see the thread started by Bettina on 7/23/06 9:58 AM. Many interesting perspectives. I've posted facts about this topic in that thread.

No, I was asking about WLS for dummies. I hadn't read it or bought it. I was curious if someone else read it so I would know if it dealt with GB or lapband.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
