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:

my daughter just completed the quick colon cleanse and she was very impressed at quick she felt so much better i plan to try it also

hello anyone out there tonight

i was in the hospital 4 days right after xmas with a bad stomach virus they could not seem to stop the diarrhea i was so darn sick i felt like just give this up...but my surgeon wants to totally take the band out and replace with the sleeve we are trying to see if the insurance will cover it if not what will i do - the adjustments constantly make be vomit to the point of IV fluids needed sick and tired

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

handmary are you there

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.

I curious about the colon cleanse, does it help? I have been constipated since having the surgery...what brand of colon cleanse are you using and do I need a prescription?
