Pre surgery waxing....



Recommended Posts

I would assume for the ladies that it will be hard to bend over and shave legs (and other parts) post surgery...I am totally getting waxed! My legs are way past prickly HAHAHAHAHA they are more like fury at this point! Anyway, just a suggestion...carry on

When/if you have the extra $$ I strongly suggest laser hair removal, if you hate hair like me. I have not shaved in months!!! Underarms, my pikachu and butt!

make sure you do it at least 3 days prior to surgery day so no infections

I was just going to say, Might want to make sure you check with your surgical team for any restrictions... I've heard/read about some teams barring shaving for whatever reasons... always best to ask your team!

I wasn't allowed to do any hair removal from the neck down for seven days prior to surgery so make sure it's Kosher with your surgeon!

I hate to brag (yeah right), but I've never had to shave my legs or armpits in my life. My hair just doesn't grow in those two (four?) locations, so it wasn't a concern for me. :) lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
