I thought I would kick off the fun for August Sleevers! So here we go!!

I am scheduled for Monday August 19th! Let the countdown begin!!

Maybe you're making yourself crazy by getting on the scale at all right now?

As hard as it might be, why not put it out of reach for a week or two...think you might be pleasantly surprised when you do weigh in.

Funny thing is, prior to surgery I never liked ice or anything too cold for that matter. I always went with room temp liquids. However, now ice has become one of my favorites. I am in love with the sugar free tropical flavored popsicle. Yum. Feel better!

I feel how I look! My stomach won't let me eat nothing but ice chips!

Hi Jules, not to be too TMI, but have you had a good BM lately? My weight stayed the same for several days, I felt sluggish because I hadn't had a decent BM. My doc told me to take some milk of magnesia. It worked. Afterwards, I have much more energy and I've been losing steadily.

I even pushed myself to a 3 mile hike all up hill on mountains yesterday and I weighed myself this morning and I STILL haven't broke the scale yet. Standing still at the same weight for almost five days now. I don't know what to do anymore

Hi LadyJay, I'm having that problem... No BM :/ My sleeve was exactly a week ago today. I've tried the benefit, miralax, andoday i did take a total of 4 tablespoons of Milk of Mag. I'm just so desperate at this point i don't know what else to do. Drinking enough water and still on liquid diet. I don't know what else to do... Ideas?

Haha me too! Always been a big water drinker but preferred it room temp, now can only drink it if it's cold. Love the sf popsicles too! :-)

I took colon cleanz and it worked but made me feel sick too. dr said it was ok to take though, but for something less harsh, he suggested I try prune juice. I drink a cup every morning and it has been working. It's not a great taste but give it a try.

I know lady. It's been 14 days and I have had only one small bm. I have tried everything. Milk of mag, moral ax, two other brand laxatives, ducolax, and the one time I did go I had use a fleet enema.

Congratulations

Thank you Denise !
