Any Scrapbookers Here? Too soon for a post-op Crop?



Recommended Posts

I've been invited to a crop being held 11 days after my surgery......do you think that's too soon? or am I out of my mind? I'll be on full liquids at that point and can pack some strained Soup and Protein Drinks and can pack light.....

I'm thinking I should decline......but it sounds like fun! [you just have to say the word "fun", and I'm there LOL]

I think if you feel up to it you should go! You'll be sitting the majority of the time anyway, as for your crop supplies just ask the staff if they would help you carry things inside. I work at a scrapbook store and we always help ppl carry in their items.

If you're concerned about bathroom issues just ask if you can have a seat with direct access to the bathroom.

I doubt anyone would ask about you only drinking liquids, usually they are too busy cropping and talking to notice. :-)

Best of luck to you!

Thanks, GB! For months I've been drinking the RTD Protein drinks, hopeful that it wouldn't be unusual for people to see me doing it LOL

I was thinking, if you put your rtd Protein drink in one of those double wall travel mugs no one would be the wiser. I always carry mine around and no one ever asks about it.

Something like this, mine is solid though so you can not see through it.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
