Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Hi, can anyone tell me where we get devrom? thanks karen pre 0p 14 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Meli: I have one piece of advice. Don't buy too much stuff pre-op. The reason I can suggest this is that I did it and wound up with a cabinet and refrigerator full of stuff that was absolutely useless. I'm not belittling Devrom, we have some. And haven't used it. The problem is that we don't all have the same problems nor do we all have or keep the same tastes. I loved low fat Danon Yogurt before the surgery and am beginning to like it again recently - 5-1/2 months out. But I didn't like it much when I got out of surgery and what I had put in the refrigerator is long since in the trash. And I simply haven't found a need for Devrom. Finally, there was plenty of time and volunteers to get what I needed from the grocery store or internet after the surgery and I knew what I needed and wanted. Hope that helps. I will keep you in my prayers for a boring outcome of your surgery. Regards.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Hi Meli! I had to laugh at this one! I think I know of some people who could use this who haven't had the surgery! I have a question tho, what exactly is Devrom? Is it an herb or vitamin supplement? Do you need a prescription for it? Where can I purchase it? Thanks, M > I tried a couple of doses this week, and its amazing stuff. I could > claim with all honesty that my s*** doesnt stink!

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Tom, I just found your answer to my question. Thank you, thank you, thank you - especially for the warning about Devrom changing poop colors. I would probably have run to the ER if you hadn't mentioned that. Mine is still very lite in color and Dr. Kim says it's because of bile. I guess I really missed something because I never read about the carbs doing this to us. Or maybe I just didn't want to " hear " it. I'm Italian also and could gladly have pasta for every meal. I will be anxiously awaiting your report on charcoal - with my fingers crossed. I had some charcoal in my hand the other day at GNC and put it back, thinking I didn't know enough on the subject yet and didn't want to waste any more money (I've got protein bars and shakes coming out of my ears). I would like to mention though that I just had a good shake for breakfast: MYOPLEX (I think their biggest seller?) in Chocolate Cream. The man at GNC suggested I split the pack into two shakes. So half a pack mixed with one cup milk, handful of ice, one splenda and that's 29 grams of protein altogether. Great way to start the day....and without GAS!! Thanks and Good Luck, Joann in Mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
