I had a sinus thing a few days before surgery and day of. I had to produce a negative covid test and they did the surgery anyway. The antibiotics actually helped clear it that they give you during surgery 🤣

I have trouble with plain water. My go-to drinks, non-Protein edition: Vitamin Water Zeros. (My personal flavor ranking is: Gutsy, Shine, XXX, Squeezed, Power C, Look, Ice.... Ice is the only one I won't drink). I will mix a Lemonade flavored one with a Peach Iced Tea -flavored Crystal Light/Great Value packet to make an Arnold Palmer. I like that each flavor has a different vitamin/mineral profile, so drinking a variety of them helps me with any vitamin absorption issues. Nature's Twist Strawberry Lemonade sugar-free drink (find it at Sams) For Texas people, the H-E-B Multi-Fit waters are very good. After my daily walk, I drink a Propel water. Has a high sodium content, so it is a good way to replenish after sweating so much.

Have you tried the clear protein drinks. Post op I didn’t like the sweetness of protein shakes anymore and I did much better with the protein waters. Also, if you are allowed caffeine and you like coffee. Do yourself a favor and try the premiere protein caffe latte. It’s so good I still drink it over a year post op for breakfast daily.

I don't grow anything. haha

Ugh, I am trying to grow an orchid and I bet I have failed way more than you. Good news is if you save your receipt Walmart will exchange it. This policy may bankrupt them if they get too many people like me.

It looks like I need to have my gall bladder removed. I found out that my gallbladder is full of stones. I've made an appt. with the doctor to make sure that he can remove my gallbladder with the lapband. I'm going to find another surgeon if he won't. Sent from my Pixel 4a using BariatricPal mobile app

Yea, PA is pretty close. Depending on the part. Glad you are digging your new job! That is always a plus. Congrats on making it one onederland, even if just for a day!!! That still means you are super close. I am doing well, happily surprised at my ease of this surgery and the process so far! I seem to be loosing weight quick (my surgeon and nutritionist agree) but I am not trying to get accustomed to it because it will eventually slow down. I just have a lot to loose so it is moving quicker for now. I am for now, just enjoying the ride!

The first question I would ask is whether you will see him or her again before surgery. Not that it matters but if you will you can relax a bit that if you forget a question you can ask it next time. Also, make a list of questions and take it with you which it sounds like you may be doing.
