  1. P.s. I'm going to try selling all my larger size clothes to a consignment shop for money before taking to Goodwill. I've got some really nice work clothes in particular that I think people will want. Never did consignment before so I'll see how it goes.
  2. Thanks! I tried Marshalls today and didn't really fine anything but I did have luck at Kohl's. So many clothes to choose from now! It's overwhelming. But in a good way I suppose [emoji4]
  3. Damnit why didn't I see this before 🤨
  4. Sleeved Aug 15. Can't tolerate eggs no matter how they are prepared, tuna, most meat. Frustrating since they are high in protein which is what I'm supposed to need focusing on post surgery. Unfortunately I learned that chips, ice cream, cookies, cake, candy go down just fine. Arrghhh.

    Anti depressants post op

    Continues to boggle my mind how varied the instructions/advice is from the different Doctors we all have.

    Anti depressants post op

    Interesting. I was never told I had to crush my meds.

    Anti depressants post op

    I was sleeved 8/18. Pretty sure I was instructed to be off my meds only the morning of surgery. After my surgery I had a lot of trouble with nausea and dehydration for more than a week post op. I couldn't keep much of anything down - food, water, or any of my meds (mood stabilizers, antidepressants, thyroid meds) which were critical for me to take. After having fluids pumped into me, and also being prescribed some anti nausea meds I finally got back on track. This journey isn't easy so it's especially important to stay connected with your psych and continue to manage your meds along the way. I wish you well.

    Is it working ??

    Ditto what Wanda said. Hang in there.
  9. Good to hear that the revision surgery was approved. After you have an initial consultation with a lawyer you'll have more info to help you decide which legal route to take, even if that decision is to not pursue anything at all. Good luck!

  14. Congratulations on reaching ONEderland! Celebrate your success! I'm still 10 lbs away and am looking forward to getting to that milestone.
  15. I struggle too. Averaging about 25 oz per day at 4 months post surgery. I'm well aware that I need to drink much much more.
  16. Pretty much the only way for me to get my protein in is primarily through protein shakes. I really struggle with meat and other high protein regular foods so the shakes are really my main source. I've tried so many shakes and am down to only a few that I can tolerate. But they seem to have a lot of sugar. Given how critical protein is for us post surgery I feel like I'm making the right decision in choosing to get in my protein despite the high sugar content. Thoughts?

    New Puppy (Help)

    I'm sorry for the late of your sweet Bella. It's so hard to lose a pet. Please take care of yourself. I hope that you can get another little friend as they bring such joy. Consider looking at your local shelters because there are so many who need lotsa love, like you gave Bella. [emoji252]
