Flavor God seasonings?
Hippygirl replied to ChubRub's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have used the seasonings for years. I have no complaints. There are a few I don't care for however they have more pros than cons...and cheaper. So try them. Actually, I have a pending order as well. I like them! -
Did you keep surgery a secret? What did you tell people?
Hippygirl replied to FinallyLosingIt20's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Like many others, I am extremely private. When I got my lap band years ago, I told no one, except my assistant. She was the one who went to the surgery center with me. Pass forward, I had an emergency which the band had to removed, I had to tell my sister. This time when I was deciding on VSG, I included her in the narrative. However, due to COVID, I had to go to the hospital alone, since I use to work there, I was comfortable. As I work in healthcare, we continue to work from home. Whenever we return to the office, many knew I was doing Keto and also having a GI surgery which was postponed due to COVID. I have already decided when folks ask, which they will, I am still doing Keto..lol -

Hi there. I think people are posting all over. Also, everyone's experience will be different. One of my friends said she would have taken my place because I had virtually no pain. However with my experience laat week, I was really loopy due to the anesthesia. Of course, I had no appetite and did not eat, as my surgery began around 7ish in the morning. Later that evening, I was more alert and went walking and cracking jokes as usual. Still no pain. Also I had my gallbladder removed as well. I had a good night. The next day, my surgeon wanted me to drink some broth as all I wanted was ice chips. I did and went home around 3pm. I purchased the stomach binder and never used it. I will say 9 days out, I'm still trying to get as much protein and liquids in as possible. So for me, very little pain, thankfully little gas pains (I had plenty w/ lapband; and my energy is picking back up. I hope this helps if you have more questions please feel free to ask. All the best!

Corona delaying weight loss surgery dates? Anyone?
Hippygirl replied to MaybeMeow's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Cia2020! I wondered what happened to my surgery twin! Sorry about your postponed surgery. Mine was too rescheduled. I went in for my pre-admit. I asked the nurse had the hospital started rescheduling "elective" surgeries yet? She said no. I was hoping to scape by since my hospital I work for was shutting down on 4/1. Nope 10 minutes after I arrived home, I got the call. It's been rescheduled 2x. Finally my new date is May 21. Just fyi..we all maybe subject to Corona testing. I have to get mine 48 hours before surgery. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. All the best everyone! -
I had one when I had Lap Band however since it's been removed, I no longer wear it. I may just get one however with thr integrated electronic medical systems they should be able to retrieve it.

Has anybody heard of this or taken the pills? I know it feels you up as a fiber supplement but what's the effect on the band?
