Good luck!!

I just had my surgery last Tuesday and I can promise you it's worth it! I had the same questions up until I was being wheeled back to the OR. I can't tell you or promise you what your recovery will...

I'm going to bring it up on my check up on Monday as well. I was sent home on Percocet so that might have something to do with it. But I really haven't been taking them. I'm hoping maybe as...

Sure!!

1 packet or 1 scoop unflavored protein powder (I use my vanilla protein powder for flavor )
1 cup brewed coffee regular or decaf
1/2 cup of ice

I put it all into a blender but you can...

Yes! My dietitian gave me a recipe for a ice coffee with protein powder and I made that this morning. So far so good! I'll probably go out today and buy some Tylenol. Just so I have it around the...

Thank you!! It could be a lot worse I'm assuming! So I'm still SO thankful for this easy of a recovery!

Hey everyone!!

As I said in my blog I really can't complain about my recovery! I've had a pretty easy time! Just today though, I've started getting this HORRIBLE headache whenever I lay down but...

You are very welcome! Yes, Tomorrow I start another side to this journey and I couldn't be anymore on edge as to what awaits for me. Ahh yes. My name. LoL. Only a very close few people know I am...

Trust me, It isn't a breeze for everyone! I did good for the first 4 days of my pre op diet but for the last 2-3 days I find myself taking a bite of whatever I make my husband for dinner, Or I...

My own family makes those kind of remarks about bariatric surgery. Which is why none of my family/friends know I am having it (Besides the people in my own home). Its a hard thing to listen to...

Thank you! I'm spending the day today prepping dinners for my family and purchasing the rest of my items!

It was in fact still a go! My insurance took 2 days to approve my surgery! I went and signed all paperwork Tuesday, already on my liquid diet, and my surgery is Tuesday!

Thank you all!

Good Luck!! I hope you have a fast, easy recovery! keep us updated!!

Exactly! I know I've done that before and been told it would be okay. I just don't want to have more on my plate. I'll already feel yucky and it isn't like my husband will be getting "attention" LOL....

Thank you!

I didn't mean for this post to sound like "whoa is me! I think I'm going to be bed ridden" because I most certainly know that isn't the case. I was mainly asking because I read on...

Thank you!

Heyyy Everyone!

So yesterday during my "Training session" they told me to continue my Birthcontrol as I should. As I was comparing pills to my surgery date, if I continue as I should I will be on...

It is a pretty stressful (but extremely exciting) time!.

Heyyy Everyone!

Did anyone else experience mood swings before their surgery?! Oh my gosh, I feel like I'm a toddler that hasn't had a nap some days!. Its like my husband and I steady bicker! For...
