You Know You Could Die Right?
sunshine413 replied to landensmommy10's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't know! Maybe because they aren't emotionally attached to it...I like to think it's like picking a parking spot...just pick one...idk, it is REALLY annoying to me though bc I am emotionally attached to food...to be honest, I worry more about mourning food than being wheeled into surgery -
Maybe I'm missing something or maybe my Dr office is VERY cautious about giving dates out...my consultation with the surgeon happens two weeks after his seminar...they went ahead and gave me scripts for the GI, chest X-ray, and EKG...there has been ZERO talk of a surgery date...thoughts?

My "Last Supper" will be Chili's or Ouback...maybe lunch at one and dinner at the other!! But here's a question worth thinking about: What if having a Last Supper makes fooneral (the food funeral) mourning that much worse!! I've seen tons of videos on YouTube where the patient is having a complete meltdown...THAT scares me more than anesthesia!

Protein Shake Samples
sunshine413 replied to sunshine413's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks to you both!! I'll gladly pay 99¢ versus $40 to have ONE portion to sample! -
I've seen a couple people posting about ordering samples of different protein powders...where can you order them? I wouldn't mind paying for a small sample, but it seems the powders come in these gargantuan containers...

Are You Telling Anyone? If So, Who? Why?
sunshine413 replied to worm2872's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I go back and forth with deciding whether to say something or not. On 1 hand I think I have friends who would be supportive, but there's always a hater out there!! -
