Bowel Problems Anyone?

I wanted to let everyone know that a friend of mine that had the RNY surgery 5 years ago told me to use Aloe Vera Pills. You can get them at a nutrition store. I take two a day and they work way far better than exlax which my husband uses at times. I have always had bowel problems and even before the surgery when I had to drink that clear liquid the doctor tells you to buy and drink... Well any ways I drank the whole bottle by the time I was supposed to until 9;00 p.m. that night and I never went until early the next morning and I didn't go as much as I thought I should have but I did lose 10 pounds without food from that afternoon on and then going to the restroom.... It is funny, but I have a serious bowel problem since I was a child. I have never gone regularly. Now that I take the Aloe Vera, I don't have problems going. I just wanted everyone to know about the Aloe Vera Pills. Good luck to everyone. Also, I have lossed 84 pounds as of today since my surgery on the 23rd. I feel so great. I can do so much now and get around without feeling miserable. Tamela Pittman

hi tamela. thanks for the info. it's always good to have another option to choose from. who'd of thought aloe vera would do that??? kudos on the 84 pounds. that's so awesome. i know what you mean about feeling better, too. it's good to be alive again. wish me luck, girl. i've got my six month follow up today. i'll report back if the results don't put me into shock. thanks again dorthe

Good Luck Dorthe with your appointment! By the way you look great!!! I am wishing that all of will meet our goal weight! I would love to get down to 135....but my family doctor says that I should be about 150. 150 is ok too but it would be nice to be the size I was when I got married!!! My husband would love that!!! Well things are tough right now because I have only lossed a pound in the past two weeks, but I bet I will lose more next week. It is funny that I can go two to three weeks without losing and then drop about five pounds in one week. I guess because it takes time for our bodies to show the loss. I like it though, because when I drop alot in a week it makes me feel better. Hopefully you will get great results from your appointment.... I know you will. Tamela Pittman
