  1. Just trying them you wont be out a few hundred dollars. You can just buy one or two from a consultant' date=' or ask them how many wraps you get for free if you do a party. The parties are free, plus the only thing you need to provide is Water, which is free, and when your friends buy wraps, you get some for free. So you could actually try them for free. When I did parties, I gave one free wrap for every 4 purchased, plus the initial free wrap just for having the party. There are ways to try them without breaking the bank.[/quote']

    If you are dead set on trying them then go for it - just don't con your friends into buying them so you can do the same for cheaper or even free.


  2. Oh! I should have said that I have also requested to be first and have been told that I will be. :) thanks for being polite when you were probably scratching your head at my comment. Actually' date=' I'll edit it. :)[/quote']

    Lucky you! That's great! I remember my surgeon asking all of us that were schedule that day who wanted to go first and none of us did! I sure didn't; but I didn't want to be last, either!


  3. Oh I'm sorry to hear you're having so much pain! I've read that after day 3 it usually eases off' date=' I hope you get better sooner than that. (Hugs)

    I'm going to be angry if I'm not first. That's bull.[/quote']

    Only one person can be first, so I would go with the idea that it won't be you. That way you won't be disappointed and you may be pleasantly surprised! It's much better to be pleasantly surprised than upset, especially on surgery day. :)

    I think one of the factors for my surgeon was who had the farthest to travel to get back home. (I was second out of three of us.)


  4. I found really comfy pj's and robe at Target also...socks for 1.50 and comfy slippers for walking in the hospital...

    If you are by yourself (like I was!) putting on socks is not an option as you likely won't be able to bend over to put them on. Something to think about!


  5. I had the same problem as you and was using Miralax which seemed to help. I wanted something more natural for the long term so I purchased Fiberwell gummies. Those worked for a week or so and then I was back to being constipated. I then tried FiberOne Cereal and have been eating that for the past week with some improvement. I'm afraid it may be time to try Colace. I hope you find something that works for you so you get relief soon.


  6. No' date=' I have not heard of that. I will check out the product on Amazon. Do they taste good? The one thing that my BA Calcium citrates have going for them is that they have a great taste and I like chewing on them. Each bag is 18 though and I am buying a new one every 10 days.[/quote']

    I haven't tried them but want to. Some reviews say they are fabulous and some say that there are horrid.
