Building Muscles Safely After Surgery

Posted by on Jan 30, 2013

Building Muscles Safely After Surgery

It is impossible to bounce back from surgery overnight. No matter which type of surgery that you have had, it always takes time to get back into shape – and in some cases, to be able to move around without pain. Although it may hurt to do simple things like stand and sit up, laying around and doing nothing can actually make the recovery process last longer.

One of the best ways to begin the recovery process after being operated on is by building muscles. Slowly working on the areas around your stitches will allow your body to heal, while you build supportive muscles at the same time. This is especially important if you have any kind of abdominal surgery, where the core muscles that keep you upright and allow you to catch yourself if you slip and fall, can become atrophied rather easily.

Colon Cleanser experiement- Final Evaluation

Colon Cleanser experiement- Final Evaluation

It has been 30 days since I started this crazy experiment and all I can say is Thank God.  It has been a very unpleasant 30 days and I am really glad it is over.

Let me start with the last couple of days and then I will conclude with a final evaluation.  The last couple of days were pretty eventful as more toxic sludge has exited my body.  Some of the movements were very large in length while others were very loose.  It seems like stuff was just coming out in all shapes and sizes.

As a final evaluation, I can say that it does work.  I have excreted stuff from my body that would still be in there had I not taken this product.  What I will also say is that it was one of the most unpleasant months of my life.  I experienced stomach pains and discomfort more days then not.  My bowel movement schedule was all over the place.  Sometimes I would go 8 times a day and then not at all the next day.

Instead of being filled with energy, I was exhausted most of the time.  I drank plenty of water but I always felt dehydrated.  I just drank 32 ounces of water and I am dying of thirst right now.  As far as the weight loss is concerned, I lost just under 4 pounds.  My jeans are definitely looser and my stomach is noticeably flatter.

I guess I am glad that I took the product, but I do not think that I will take it again, certainly not for a long long time.  Mt advice would be to use it if you really think you need to.  If you do not, I would stay away because the discomfort and the impact on your life may not be worth it.  I will leave it up to you to decide.

I hope you enjoyed the Colon Cleaner “series”.  My next experiment will be evaluating the ACAI berry diet.  Luckily, my friend will be the guinea pig this time.  I need a break.

 

Stay tuned…

Colon Cleanser Expirement Day 18

Posted by on Feb 15, 2009

A lot of activity has been happening over the last couple of days.  My bowel movements seems to be on a schedule now.  I feel the urge to go right when I wake up and then again after lunch and again after dinner.  I have been on this pattern for the last 2 days now.

I finally had the “big one” and by this I mean something came out of me that was so big and disgusting that I almost through up.  The stench was also unbearable.  I did some research online and this is called the muciod plaque, it was black and rubbery and really gross.  I know some people like to take pictures, I will spare you those details.

I am happy to report that my stomach pains have subsided and I am feeling really good and healthy.  After close to three weeks it finally seems to be working like it should.

Colon Cleanse experiment day 6

Posted by on Feb 3, 2009

Hey everyone I am back.  I will let you know that the last couple of days have been very normal.  Just my normal one a day movement, nothing more, nothing less.  I am now on Day 6 and I still have nothing to report (sorry if I am boring you)  I think what I might do is steep the tea (there is a tea that you drink) a little longer and see what happens tomorrow.

 

On a side not, I have been doing some research on acai berry and talking to some doctor friends of mine and other nutrition experts.  I will be making a blog post about that soon.  Sorry for being brief but it is 9:20 here on the east coast and I want to run to the gym (not literally) and get a quick 30 minute weight training in before they close at 10:00.

 

I will report back soon

Colon Cleansing Experiment Day 2 and Day 3

Posted by on Jan 30, 2009

Hi again, I was unable to make a post yesterday asI went out on the town with a friend from college.  Boy, did we have a great time!  Anyhow, back to the subject at hand; my colon.  This is day 3 of the Colon experiment and I do not have much to report.  There have been no significant bowel movements yet and everything is pretty normal.  The only thing I do notice is a little gurgling in my tummy.  It seems like it is mixing it up with everything down there.

My friend said I should try using the colon cleanser in combination with something called acai berry.  I must admit that although I have heard about acai berry, I not know to much about it.  At this point I want to keep my experiment simple and not combine it with anything else.

Hopefully, next time I will have something to report.  Take the time to subscribe to my blog if you are interested in following this experiment.

Peace and Love,

Harmony

Day 1 colon cleanser experiment

Posted by on Jan 28, 2009

Sorry for the delay, I have been fighting off a nasty stomach bug but I am feeling much better today.  About 5 minutes ago, I officially started my colon cleansing experiment.  I was actually very surprised when I opened the package and realized there were no pills, only powder.  I prepared myself for the nasty powder concoction that I was about to ingest.  Imagine my surprise when it actually tasted good, well not good, but not bad either.  I really have nothing to report as I just took the first dose a couple of minutes ago. 

 

On a side note, I  lost about 2 pounds over the last 3 days with this bug.  I was unable to eat much and nothing I ate would stay down. 

 

Until next time..
