Lissa, You look wonderful! Congrats!

I'd like to help

How bad does this stuff taste?

I am 3 days post op and I'm doing okay. I had to stay in the hospital one extra day but after doing so I can tell I needed it and it was all good. I still feel pretty rough but I took two weeks off of work so I'm sure when the time comes I'm sure I will fine. The one thing that is keeping me moving pretty slow is a pain on my left side. I think it is just a pulled muscle or something. I am having no problem getting my liquids or protein in at this point. If I gulp I can feel some pain but I can take in a little more than a sip. I tire super easily. I get up, move around, use the potty, and I'm ready to rest. I fall asleep at a drop of a hat but its only for about 20-30 minutes. Overall I am doing pretty and am very happy

What is fauxsagna?

EAS cardadvantage is the first I prefer then the premier from Costco. I don't care for the vanilla shakes in any brand. I stick to chocolate.

I had surgery Thursday and was suppose to go home today. Doc is keeping me another night due to pain and low grade fever.

Ok I'm here! I'm checked in and waiting to be called back. I'm not nervous... I'm excited. I want to get the surgery done and get past the first month. Yay!

Vodka is a clear liquid ... Thanks

Surprisingly not so bad... Glad its over... Bring on the surgery!! Can't wait. Not nervous. I'm looking forward to the time off though hehe

I'm also the 24th... So excited. I just want to get it over with and start moving on. Good luck to you!!

Hello hello ... Being sleeved tomorrow! So excited!

Wow... I think I'm more nervous about this than I am the actual surgery lol. Tomorrow is the surgery so tonight bring on the magnesium citrate....WAH!

Oh no... I so don't want that to happen. I work until 5 and get home about 6. My surgery is at 730 the next morning. I wish I could take it sooner. Does it not work right away on everyone? I guess what I'm asking is... Can I take it at 2, 3, or 4 in the afternoon and be ok till I get home?

I get home at 6pm....is that enough time?

It's been 2.5 weeks since submission for approval and I've heard nothing I'm really worried its going to be denied. I understand it sometimes takes longer than this but I have anthem bc and usually they are very prompt about replying. I'm probably just stressing because I want it so bad and actually depending on it.

Wow! Congratulations Dixie!

Is Unjury chicken broth good?

Good luck! Today's your day!

My Nut explained it to me like this: our food intake changes so drastically that our bodies kinda freak out and place all of our nutrients and energy into our life preserving organs like brain heart lungs etc etc. Our hair is not needed to live so our bodies dont care for it. When our bodies finally figure out that our new low intake is normal and we aren't going to starve our hair will get better. She said taking in our protein can help but it varies by individual. Hope that helps

What a great thread. Very interesting and fun. Laughter is a bonding agent
