I was sleeved on 9/7 do you think it's ok if I do the Master Cleanse? Thoughts...

I honestly wouldn't. You need to get protein in and with the master cleanse your not getting anything substantial. Also the sugar in the maple syrup may not agree with you. If you really must do it I wouldn't do it for the full week. Try it for a day and see where you are. I did it several years ago for 3 day intervals. I wouldn't do more then that. Just my opinion.

Question: what's the master cleanse?

Question: what's the master cleanse?

It's basically a juice fast done for anywhere from 3 to 10 days. You drink a mixture of lemon juice Water, cayenne pepper and grade B maple syrup and that's it. Sometimes a laxative tea or salt water solution. It's done a lot for weight loss but also to detox the body. I wouldn't do it now post op but I did it a few times years ago when I was willing to try anything to weight loss.

Oh wow that sounds hard!!!

Thanks for the link

I don't think my sleeve would survive the lemon or cayenne pepper lol

What's the purpose? Why would you want to do a master cleanse? I think you already know the answer to your question.

Just my opinion, but I don't think it would do any harm to do it for 3-5days. I also don't think it would benefit you either.

If you do choose to do it keep it short. And get back to your Proteins ASAP. Also take it slow, your body might not react well to the sugars.

Furthermore, if you are considering this as a weightloss aid, I'd say you'd be much better off working the tool you already have to its max potential.

Well there are several purposes not all are weight loss. A lot of people do it to cleanse the system or to detox your body so you can start fresh. Though I don't know the motivation behind the OP. I've known people who had no intent on weight loss do this regularly. A friend of mine was all of 130lbs and would do it to flush the bad things he had eaten out of his system.

I was really directing my question to the OP. From what I have read the master cleanse is not a very healthy fast. I'm trying to find out if the OP is trying to jump start her weight loss or just wants to try the fast. Seems like the wrong thing to do for someone less than even 6 months post op. But that's my opinion.

I'm not wanting to do it for weightless. Since the surgery I have really got into exercise and health food. I'm thinking about doing it to cleanse my body.

Thank you fallenangel for explaining the cleanse. I think the average person associates it with weigh loss not with the cleansing/detox.
