    Skin surgery

    With my extra skin actually starting to bother me, i am thinking about this surgery.. but I dont know anything about it.. can anyone help? Wondering how it works, does it leave scars, what is recovery time like... are there any other options besides surgery?

    Protein / protein drinks?

    My Dr recommended Muscle Milk. I usually drink that or any type if protein drink each day. Apparently you can lose hair if your not getting enough.. My other main sources are chicken, eggs and Greek yogurt. I usually eat non fat Greek yogurt, each serving usually has more than 20 grams.

  4. I made them scrambled the first few times.. Then i switched to the egg whites that come in the carton
  5. Mashed potatoes, ground turkey, creamed spinach, eggs
  6. Good for me , thanks.. My Dr never advised me not to drink anything specifically, he told me all liquids would go down like normal.. Only thing I need to worry about is to make sure I don't over due it with the calories .. this is a forum for people to help each other through their own experiences, I'm not trying to act like some hot shot here, just trying to help based on my personal experience
  7. I think you'll be alright I did a few shots 11 days after surgery and then a few beers the next night and i didn't have any problems .. Just keep in mind the alcohol might hit you harder/faster now

    alcohol/420

    Haven't noticed much difference with either.. I've only drank lightly twice since the op but one of the times I had like 5 beers and even shotguned one and noticed no difference.. I waited 6 days to smoke after surgery and have smoked every day since and also haven't noticed any differences from my pre op days I think as long as you ease back in to whatever you are doing you shouldn't have a problem

    Hair loss

    I asked my Dr about it recently to try to avoid hair loss.. He told me its directly related to protein intake and to try to get 60-80 grams in a day.. He also said its not instant.. For example if your not getting enough protein in now, you'll start losing hair in a few months

    Gas pain in shoulder

    I had surgery last Monday, my shoulder pain went away after like 5-6 days but still hurts when I wake up and sometimes when I hiccup lol.

  14. I was able to sleep on my side the day of surgery.. If its because of pain it should be gone soon.. I'm 9 days post op and pain is basically all gone
