Colace Two capsules

During a sensa commercial my 7 year old daughter once turned to me and said " you should get that mommy" I was so pissed and embarrassed...but I think I just shrugged it off and asked her if she thought it worked or if it was a rip off like her " slushy magic"....now that I'm loosing weight she gets emotional..cried once and said "but I like you big"... kids...smh

Only 10 days out and feeling awesome..down 19 lbs and clothes literally falling off. Today I'm wearing some pants that I haven't been able to pull over my hips since I was going to the gym 2 hours a day every day plus Phentermine a few years a back ..I am so grateful for my sleeve and that I'm healthy and will be able to excercise in a healthy way and eat in moderation. Couldn't be happier with my decision. CHEERS TO 2014!

Recently went 2 days without movement. As per doc...I took two colace capsules (I took generic) and went about 3 hours later ...p.s. at no point did I ever feel like i needed to go but couldn't I just knew 2 days with nothing wasn't good.

I'm 5 post op..haven't cheated once..tonight all of the sudden I want to eattttt..weird things like cabbage and I keep seeing this damn taco bell commercial ...how can I curb the crazy cravings...right now I'm purely liquid..protien shakes 2x every hour and various sugar free liquids every 15 min..(as best I can) ..

Woot! Their grand opening in my neighborhood is on new years Eve!...I really feel like my surgery was meant to be and all the stars are aligning to make sure I take advantage of my gift! Happy New Year Sleevers!

I really thought this would be a nice change from the milky creamy protien flavors I have here ...BOY WAS I WRONG! It stinks and has the worst bad cheese flavor and aftertaste.huge waste of money..p.s. they were not cheap..

I tried putting a packet of raspberry lemonade crystal light in it and it was like I hadn't even put it in...blehh..do u know if that's how the "unflavored" protein powder tastes?

What does the natural taste resemble?

I bought that Mexican tortilla broth....I thought it sounded really yummy but I almost lost it when I tasted...blehhhh...not for me...

I purchased the liquid form this evening at the grocery store...i'll let you know how it goes..

I had a cough before surgery that mainly bothered me at night ...after surgery it was completely gone for two days ..day of discharge it came back..now it's bothering me again..can we take mucinex? Its kinda rattling. .

full liquids...I tried a can of split pea...added double water and put in food ninja to liquefy....it was a nice change...I was completely stuffed after 4-5 teaspoons full

I just dumped about 5 different flavors of soup/broth down the sink just know...they reek and taste like the smell if vomit..any recommendations for something that is NOT Asian fusion ..hot n sour..consume..Mexican tortilla..Chi Ken or vegetable broth?

i'm 8 days out and so far...like you said after i'm done with my little 2 oz of shake im done....but I've noticed when I'm about finished with that 2nd oz that I start belching sometimes a few hiccups...I think that's my warning sign?

What's the lunk alarm?

Indeed! I'm only 8 days out and my ring keeps sliding upside down so the diamond setting is on the palm side..my feet also looking more attractive;-) small victories!

Today is one week for me. Down 16 lbs..I get plenty of fluids ...maybe not quite as much protien as I should but somewhere in the neighborhood.. I actually feel pretty good! I've found that decaf cold brew tea with artificial sweetner really keeps me enjoying the liquid constantly..first thing in the am I also take my bariatric vitamin and acid reducer pill...I started at 284.. today 268 5'6" idk how that relates to you or where I fall in the average but I've heard that the more overweight the more initially drops off..hope you feel better..

Tmrw will be officially one week since surgery..down 13 pounds as of yesterday .and gained a bunchhhh of stretch marks on my stomach...yuck...I still have the glue on each of my incisions and I was instructed to shower with my back to the stream...not to scrub or rub an to blot dry...any hints/ tips to minimiza this gross stretch marks ASAP without disturbing my wounds?

Oh no!.. LOL ..thanks for responding it never occurred to me they might have already been there...I guess once this glue is gone ill have to just slather some Palmer's with a hope and a dream they wont be so noticeable at "bedtime"

So far I've managed not to cheat..I don't have any actual hunger ..just the looks and scents of things have been very difficult to walk away from..my first post op appointment isn't til the 7th so I'm gonna do my absolute best to keep control..

Now that there is less fat..( seems to be mostly melting off my belly on up) I've noticed that I'm a little uncomfortable sleeping..:-/...maybe my fat cushions kept Me extra cozy...but last couple nights I felt like .bones getting sore in places I never felt before..and even more weird..has the hormone changes caused anyone's breasts to get larger? I'm only 6 days out but I swear my boobs were so in my way last night while I tried to sleep I ends up having to put my forearem between them while I laid on my side..lmao!! Don't know why that helped as I never really even notice my little c-boobs at night...umm..yeah anyone?

Sorry..that should read protien shake 2 oz once an hour

Yup walk around...do house work even...just don't do any lifting.that got me tootin out the gas pain!
