Doing So Easy Mucoid Plaque Cleanse prior to surgery



Recommended Posts

Alright Ladies...that is quite enough! Polite debate is a good thing, but I think that this conversation has gone on far enough. Respectfully agree to disagree and get on with life. This has gotten to be a very ugly thread with a very insulting tone and this is not at all what banders are looking for in this site.

I think you're right about agreeing to disagree, cause I'm a believer. :smile2:

I'm getting my information from my Bachelor's degree in nursing and my 10 years working as an RN. We need to agree to disagree on this.

Sorry if you were offended. It certainly was not my intention to have an insulting tone. Everyone's body is different and you must know what works for your body, and colonics and the mucoid plaque cleanse has proven to be a blessing to me, especially before surgery. Take care!

Thanks! I'm glad I didn't offend you and you certainly didn't offend me. BTW, how was your surgery? I noticed you just had it earlier in the month. How long did it take you to heal from your incisions? Have you experienced any complications? Good luck and blessings! :smile2:

Never intended offense, and never felt offended. We simply disagree :lol:

I had a pretty rough first week, more pain than I expected, but I'm feeling much better now. I can see weight loss even though the scale hasn't moved much. The small incisions healed up really quickly and the larger one looks good but still hurts more. Looking forward to seeing my doctor this week, hope he'll do my first fill! Good luck to you with your surgery :smile2:

I had my massage therapist do something called uncorking. I'd never heard of it before. She said the purpose was to loosen any waste that was stuck in the "corners" of the intestine. The next day, I honestly think it worked. I had been drinking lots of Water in the days before because it was right before my wedding, and I imagine that had something to do with it. Justy MHO.

The place I go to have colonics do this massage during the colonic for better results from the colonic. They also have what is called a soqi bed that is relaxing and helps you achieve better results from a colonic. Glad you tried something different. Congrats on your wedding!

Personally, I had not thought of doing anything like this prior to surgery, but I think its really a personal decision. If it make you feel better and more positive, then that's great.

I am actually one of those rare fat people who eats A LOT of healthy foods. I love vegies especially. costco has the best fresh brussel sprouts lately. I buy a 2 pound bag and roast them in the oven w/olive oil and sea salt. They are so yummy that I find myself snacking on the leftovers after dinner and even cold out of the fridge the next day. My problem is not only do I like stuff that's good for me, but I love the 'bad stuff' too like baked goods, meat, etc. If you are familiar w/Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa), I eat like that. I don't eat sleeves of Oreos and Fast food, but I eat a diet that is just too 'well rounded' shall we say. LOL Anyway, I just mention that because I don't think its accurate to say most people are fat because they eat badly. I think there are a lot of us who just eat too much in general, but not necessarily junk food. ;->

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
