I was wondering if anyone who had the band has tried the Advocare cleanse? Did the Fiber drink bother you when it went through the stoma?

This isn't something I'm doing to lose weight; I've done the cleanse a few times, and actually enjoy how I feel while I'm doing it. It's not a 'harsh' cleanse and I feel like I need it, since I still cant get my body 'regular' since I've had surgery.

So, If you have any tips or tricks, I'm all ears. I've basically tried everything I've read on this forum to help get myself going, but I'm just not the 'normal' person I used to be, and I HATE IT!

I've been drinking a tea every night to help me and it doesn't bother me at all. I have never been "regular" so I've been drinking it for a while

@@mias76 im trying the Miralax mixed into my 'sleepy time' tea at night and it hasnt seemed to help. i dont necessarily feel bloated, but i know how my body operated pre-surgery and it was at least every other day.. now its like once a week.

i notice the miralax works better for me if I have it early in the morning. I usually have a dose at night then each morning until I'm happy.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
