I can't wait to try this!!!

I've heard people that add protein powder to their coffee & this may be a dumb question but doesn't the hot coffee cook the protein??

Thank you candtwalker!! That's what I needed to know! I haven't been to the general tab yet but good to know! All this info is helpful!

Thank you Floridays! There are so many categories but that helps me. I'm not so sure I like this app either. I will try the iPad & laptop. Congrats to almost goal! That's great! I still have a ways to go but I will get there!

Hello! I am 15 months post surgery but just now getting on this site. Been registered on here for over a year but havent came back because Im so confused. It seems so overwhelming to me. Ha! Any advice or suggestions on how to maneuver around this site would be helpful. All these topics of discussion....how do you keep up? I have downloaded the iPhone app. Is there specific settings I need to apply? Do you follow people? How does it all work? Am I even in the right "forum?" How will I even know if anyone replies to my "rant?" Lol. Sorry for all the questions. I'm a Facebook & Pinterest junkie. If its not as simple as that, then I tend to panic! =) but I sure do need the support this site seems to offer!

I had surgery 11 days ago and I had a slight fever for the next 5 days after surgery. It never got above 100.4. I called my Dr. a couple of times and he reassured me each time that it was normal and not to worry. He also said that anything above 101 was when I would need to call. My fever never got above 100.4 and it subsided after the 5th day.

I am a stomach sleeper also. I had surgery on April 28th and I just started sleeping on my side a few nights ago and it was so much more comfortable than sleeping on my back. Although last night, I decided to try sleeping on my side with a pillow under my stomach. It was so much more comfortable and I was able to sleep somewhat on my stomach, if that makes sense. My port is also under my bra line and is very noticable, especially after eating.

Just wanted to introduce myself! I have been going thru the preapproval surgery requirements/process with my Dr's office since late Dec. 2010 and now it's finally here! Surgery is scheduled for next Thursday, April 28th. Now on day 5 of my 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Going well so far. tTrying to find some variety of liquids/protein is a little challenging. Looking forward to a new lifestyle and progress!
