When were you sleeved?

I personally don't believe in cleanses. That's what your liver and kidney do. I can understand people wanting to take a break from eating junk after the holiday's but just cut out the junk and eat some fruit and veg, preferably raw. I can't imagine anyone newly sleeved needing a cleanse. You just cut out most of your tummy, again what's left to cleanse?

@@mcginn0425 No but if you do let us know how it goes. I wanted to do a gallbladder cleanse (because I don't want to have to go through another surgery) but I don't know it that stuff really works Or not.

I'm 11 months out, so just wanting to try something different to maybe kick start my losing again. It takes me 2 or 3 weeks to lose 1 pound most of the time now.

You could probably do that by replacing 1 meal with a Protein Shake and eating clean.

I'm a believer in cleanses because I've seen a lot of nasty stuff as a nurse. A clean, raw diet is indeed the best practice, especially if you can do it for a while. I've done an intestinal cleanse a couple of times because I had too much accumulated and sedentary waste from years of poor eating.

I've done homemade juice cleanses with raw fruits and veggies and those worked great, but I wasn't mindful of my Protein intake and suffered hair loss as a result. The last juice cleanse I did was for 7 days and I lost about 12-13 lbs. I did not gain the weight back once I began eating food again, and the cleanse was done with my doctor's knowlege and blessing.

A cleanse is not something I would do without consulting my surgeon and nutritionist; just to be on the safe side. Colon cleanses can be quite harsh on the GI system and many of the recipes for homemade juice cleanses (like the ones I've done) contain a lot of sugar - albeit natural, and they lack Protein (which is a no no after having a VSG); Fiber is also lost in the juicing process.

I don't know if this helps at all. Sorry but I'm not familiar with "Advocare Cleanses".

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
