No support from my husband and best friend!
shmily replied to supremeh's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also used to believe it was the easy way out until I checked into it for myself. It isn't. Ask you husband if he could survive on the restrictions that you will have.. -
Anyone else not want family sticking around after surgery?
shmily replied to NicoleSW's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I was fortunate that the hospital I used did not allow anyone there the day of surgery and the next day except for the caregiver, who was my husband and was an absolute angel -
Most of these recipes we would not want to use right now but it shows you how it can be used. We are going to store some up for hard times. Also someone on another site said she uses it in her Fage Greek yogurt. If you buy it and don't like it, give it away

Ma'm I am not going to argue with you. Moderation is the key to olive oil, p nut butter and avocado. I choose to use PB2. You can have your p nut butter......my choice, your choice....let it go...

fat isn't good but have your p nut butter. I will have my PB2

My husband and I both love it. It isn't the cal I worry about with real P nut butter, it's the fat!! I use one or two TB per shake, using it in a chocolate shake is like a Reeses Cup!!

What should I take to the hospital?
shmily replied to nx4slim's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pack light indeed. The hospital would not allow me to bring my own meds, most of them don't. -

shmily replied to nx4slim's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
They told me to bring my mask only and know my settings. I did but then they never used it. I was on oxy the entire time. I would never have been able to tolerate PJ's, the band around my waist. I put a gown on backwards for a robe for walking. I didn't start shakes till I got out of the hospital. I attended a pre admission required class before surgery. Each thing like that depends on the doctor -

I did take lip balm, The insurance card etc goes w/o saying. Underwear...I did't feel like wearing any. I couldn't shower so no need for shampoo etc. Thank you cards? That can wait until I feel better. I was only there two nights. I didn't read, I slept.... -
Full TT 2005.....wear your binder and don't overdo even when you feel better. Remember, if yours was like mine, you have been opened like with a can opener...it takes time to heal inside...
