Y'all are so much nicer than I am. Lol

Haha! I had my neighbor say that. I said "you drink a shake for breakfast and have a small piece of meat and some spinach for lunch n dinner for the rest of your life and see how long it works for you". She shut her mouth after that.

Mine worked with me like a champ.

I'm allergic to most adhesives and I also had one. It wasn't so bad where people couldn't see it, but on my face were those red itchy blotches from where they stick those sensor things. Awful.

Emergen-c. It'll nip it in the bud.

I think it's different for different people. I went thru a bariatric center and the final thing I do is meet back up with my surgeon and talk about any final questions I have, etc. I start a 2 week preop diet the next day and then my surgery. They were offering to have my surgery this month but it wasn't good for me so we scheduled it for feb 18.

Wet wipes is a good one!! Adding that to my list. Thanks

We'll, estrogen is stored in your fat cells and is released as you burn fat. Estrogen creates so many of our emotions. So I definitely see that part of it.

My sister had her surgery in Mexico because she was a self-pay. She had better care in mx than anywhere we've had surgery in the US. When her pain meds were making her nauseated they switched it to something else. She also was given pain meds for home but didn't need them.

And don't forget, estrogen is stored in fat and as you burn fat, that estrogen is released. As you lose your hormones are crazy. This is normal. Don't beat yourself up over it. Take it day by day and you'll feel better.

mine wouldn't Bc it raises your heart rate in many patients.

I have GERD and take protonix morning and evening. Just remember to take your antacid alone and about 30 min before any other meds or a meal.

Me too!!!!

I'm guilty as a meat poker too. Ugh. Now I can't even touch raw meat. I blame the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. I always likes their wit and insight so I'm missing LV and GG. This sucks. April

Dayum!!! That's awesome. I mean, the pre-op must've sucked butt but that weightloss is phenomenal.

I guess I'm more like you, Pat. I was given a diet at my first nutrition appointment. Was told to have a shake for breakfast and for lunch and dinner I'm to have a lean n green meal of protein n veggies. That was in September. I've only lost 16 pounds total because I've been having too many food funerals. They said as long as I don't GAIN I'm ok. My two week pre-op diet starts feb 4 the and will be the exact same except I am to have a half shake added to my lean n green meals for 11 days and 3 days of liquids on days 12, 13 and 14. April

yeah. The texture and the tang. Tell try blending smooth and I don't use sour cream. But maybe my tastes will change for the tang after surgery.

That would've been fun but need more ppl

I took it and Neurontin for neuropathy pain from a spinal injury until I started taking Lyrica. It was like a miracle drug. No more walking using a walker. The Cymbalta made me unable to orgasm and it made me sweat excessively.

Cymbalta was the worst! And Zoloft. Now I'm on abilify, lamictal and tegritol and am a happy camper.

be sure n let me know how it affects the dumping. Mine isn't until feb 18.

Another form of manipulation. Preying on your emotions. I'd just scoot the bag out of the way. Once she stops trying to control you and calms down she's gonna want her gifts back.

I can do thick soups. It's just that weird grainy texture that freaks me out and makes me gag. Hummus, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, applesauce, cream of wheat. Maybe it'll be different after surgery.

I'm the odd man out I guess. I can't stand the taste of fage yogurt, cottage cheese freaks me out because of the texture. So does cream of wheat and applesauce. I'm screwed

I take meds for bipolar disorder and I don't have any problems having an orgasm or three, but when I was on regular antidepressants it was like taking me to the finish line and not letting me cross it. Horrible.
