Losing weight fast...

Well it’s coming off faster than expected now. Not sure if it’s the gym, the colon cleanse, the low carbohydrate diet, the 1400 calories a day or the fact that I’m doing them all at once AND doing it consistently. So I’m happy about the weight loss anyway. BUT (there’s always a but) just not feeling all that well physically. I’ve been getting a lot of headaches, and I’ve had diarrhea the last few days, and I feel a little run down after the gym, and everyone else says they feel great afterwards. I figure I will keep up what I’m doing for the next couple of weeks and if my body doesn’t adjust I think I’ll change things up. I really hope the weight loss continues at this rate.

If anyone reads this and has had a similar experience please let me know….

well I hope you feel better soon. I was wondering what colon cleanser are you using. I did the total body cleanser b4 lap band but I am afraid now, being the pills are so big and I worry about crushing them and them not being as effective. Please share. Michelle

It's called Quick Cleanse bowel clear and yes, the tablets are HUGE, I am struggling with that a lot actually. I've taken them in half and in whole form but I can always feel them sitting there while they break down which isn't so nice, but they don't come back up, which I found unusual because smaller tablets have come back up.

I am going to try crushing them to see if they stay as effective, I will let you know how that goes :thumbdown:

do you think the colon cleanse helped with some more weight loss...and did you get diarrhea from the pills

I did get diarrhea on the second day but to be honest I don't think if it was the CC pills (I might have had a tummy bug) because I was feeling a little unwell in general. For the most part I have actually found it to be the opposite, I went a few times more than usual but it was worth going because you're passing something more substantial.

Yes, I certainly do think it's helped with the weight loss, I've lost about 6.6lb over the last week, although I note that I have changed to a low carb diet and daily exercise. So it's been a triple threat.

Also Dianne I am sorry to hear about your experience. I had to go in for additional surgery a few months after I was banded because they needed to replace my port. Stay strong, anything worth it is worth working for.
