Anyone ever done a 'colon cleanse' ?

Well because obviously some people are still interested in having more information and experiences shared. I'd be happy to hear more both pro and con from people who have their own info, and other new opinions. I can't know whether what Jack has to say is a repeat of what's been said, or whether he has some new information to bring to the table until he's said it! I think as long as people are civil, avoid drama, and if you're tired of the topic and don't want to discuss it anymore - simple! unsubscribe from the thread, just don't read it! Then those of us who want to learn more and chat more can.

I pray this subject is over with for discussion....I think it has been discussed to death, and the fact remains what is right for one person is not always right for another, so why argue it. Me, I loved my colon cleanse OK I didn't love it.....but it did the job. For others who despise the idea my great idea is Don't Do It, but don't be critical of those of us that did. OK, AMEN to the subject as Telly said it has been rehashed enough and continues to show up every day.

I'd be interested in what Jack has to say. I figure, the more info the better.

I don't mean to sound snarky at all, really, but if anyone has read enough on the subject, then they have the option to not read the thread anymore.

I just finished reading Wicked, I loved it. Definitely recommend it, and his other reverse fairy tales too. sleep apnea, yeah that can mess with you! You take care too! I'm fond of witchiness, I've known many different types, and haven't met a witch I didn't like. I agree there's a little witch in all women.

Ok...I think I'm gonna blow chunks...no seriously...and no chunks is not the name of my husband, neighbor or dog, but really...this is the grossest thread yet. I can't believe that people actually photograph their poop and plaster it on line...God help me...I mean...ya'll can't polish a turd ya know???!!!

I for one, am interested in your knowledge Jack. This thread does not need to be a forum for arguments. I have taken HMF Replete to balance the bowels & such. I no longer take it b/c of the expense, but I do wonder how beneficial it is. I think this is different than a colon cleanse...am I correct? Is it beneficial to "cleanse" the bowels? Wouldn't your bowels work better if your spine was in alignment anyway, so why the need? These are just thoughts this thread has triggered in my mind.

If you don't see a need for further info, please allow Jack to share and don't read this thread. I could get this info via PM, but I do have a lot of respect for Jack and the knowledge he has. I look forward to hearing what Jack has to say.

P.S. Jack ~ Are there any concerns going to the chiropractor with the band? I apologize in advance if you've already answered this question. Thanks!!

I did a colon cleanse by http://www.lifeforce-intl.com and had none of the disgusting results here. Either it was an ineffective product or my bowels were clean!

I recently joined the YMCA and discovered that exercise is a good natural colon cleanser. :biggrin1:

Okay I found two that look really good.....

Lap Band for Life...by Dr Ariel Ortiz Lagardere

and:

Eating Well after Weight Loss Surgery..by Levin Saray, Inabnet.

I found them at Amazon.com....but I think I saw them at Borders too!

I am gonna got to Borders tomorrow to peek at them!

I'll let you know if I think they are worth it!

I was wondering if anyone has read that book "weight loss surgery for dummies" ? I ordered some Protein Powder from unjury.com yesterday and noticed they sold that there. I was curious if anyone knew how good/helpful it was.

Hi, no I haven't read that book was it good? I am only sticking to books that are stricktly lapband-I find that WLS surgery books spend more time on GB than lapbanding. My sis had GB, I know all about that topic, so it would be redundant. But, I certainly would get it if it had important topics on banding!

I get my Protein Powder from Rite Aid/GNC I use soy protein....comes in yummy flavors!!!

Hi all. Several threads have dealt with this topic recently. Especially see the thread started by Bettina on 7/23/06 9:58 AM. Many interesting perspectives. I've posted facts about this topic in that thread.

No, I was asking about WLS for dummies. I hadn't read it or bought it. I was curious if someone else read it so I would know if it dealt with GB or lapband.
