I have heard the Hoo-ha does droop which is awfully sad. I know there is surgery for that but who knows if I could afford it later. I think a lot depends on age, skin type, etc. there are some forum dedicated solely to plastics and I've seen a few topics related specifically to lady parts. There are tons of threads on Constipation. I'm preop so no expert but I'm hearing Milk of Mag is your friend. I've actually been dealing with it preop because I'm taking Vitamins with Iron. I'm a fan of Miralax (we use in the hospital and it works well) but I can't image putting that into a fresh post op belly.

I am not sure specifically what part drooping you are asking about. I am 8 months post sleeve and have lost over 90 lbs so far. Gravity is not a girls best friend and as the weight comes off there is extra skin "everywhere". I was sad to have saggy breasts and have gone from a 42 DD to a 34 C. I hate to look at myself in the mirror in my birthday suit since "things sag" and look like empty bags laying on my chest.

As for the Hoo-Ha (south parts I am supposing) the skin sags a bit and since I wear boxer type skivvies I have noticed the outer lips parting when I walk. Never felt this sensation before but I wouldn't get surgery to "tighten things up".

Hope this gives you some sort of an answer (not that I would call myself an expert)

I used Miralax in my brand new baby sleeve. Much more effective for me than M.O.M., and gentle with no cramping or anything. I mixed the Miralax with 8oz. of Powerade Zero and sip, sip, sipped it down. (It was tasteless, by the way.). Also took a Colace so when it was time to go, it would be easy to go. I've since purchased a Squatty Potty, which is surprisingly helpful, and I haven't had to rely on medication to stay regular.

What is a squatty potty??

A Squatty Potty is a small stool that you place your feet on when you have to pass a bowel movement. It positions your legs in such a way that it allows the colon to open up and make it easier to pass the waste. It's modeled after the "squatter" toilets in third world countries where people squat to use the toilet rather than sit on a seat. The squatting position is supposed to be healthier for you as you're not straining to have a bowel movement--it kind of falls out by itself.

Hope this helps! :D

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
