    A quick question re: body jewelry

    Yes you will have to take it out UNLESS you can find a plastic holder they should let you wear that.
  2. @@mishelcrz88 Did you alternate sites? If your still taking them make sure you are! Don't do them all in the same spot.
  3. Congrats on your surgery date! You send me your wonderful tea and I will send you protein! Lol!!!

    @@alyssadietrch Add a tiny bit of milk to your eggs when you scrabble them (I use almond milk)...that will make them "Softer".

    It sounds like your pretty prepared! I used the spray Right before they took me to the OR and I have absolutely 0 sore throat! It's still hard to believe they even put anything down my throat since I felt nothing....which is a good thing!

    The pre op struggle

    Make sure your spacing your protein drinks out...but not so far your going more than say 4 hrs max between. Eat SF jello and popsicles. Sip on broth! They have a lot of good flavors (Swanson) besides the boring chicken and beef. It's not the funniest time of your life but remember the reason for it!
  17. Are you feeling lightheaded because of a pre-op diet?
  18. Elode

    Ugh! Depressed!

    Remember this so once the weight starts coming off you can see how far you've come! Hell you should take a picture And that can be your incentive to help you through the pre-op diet (assuming you have one).

    3 days per op

    Yes it gets better! I say day 5 to 7!
  20. Well this isn't FAIR!! I didn't get to eat huge portions like that EVER and I still got fat!! Wth?! I don't even drink soda! Dang my moms, moms, grandmas moms , genes!

  22. Premier protein is the only one I like. I drank it for two weeks pre-surgery and I'm 5 weeks out still loving them...but only chocolate!

    What did you say?!

    Lol! I guess it's all in how you take it, I would take it as a complement IF I knew it wasn't said in a malicious way. Maybe it would be different in my case because my co-workers Are friends. If they aren't your friends then tell them to suck it! In the nicest way possible : )
