Hippygirl

I have used the seasonings for years. I have no complaints. There are a few I don't care for however they have more pros than cons...and cheaper. So try them. Actually, I have a pending order as well. I like them!

Like many others, I am extremely private. When I got my lap band years ago, I told no one, except my assistant. She was the one who went to the surgery center with me. Pass forward, I had an emergency which the band had to removed, I had to tell my sister. This time when I was deciding on VSG, I included her in the narrative. However, due to COVID, I had to go to the hospital alone, since I use to work there, I was comfortable. As I work in healthcare, we continue to work from home. Whenever we return to the office, many knew I was doing Keto and also having a GI surgery which was postponed due to COVID. I have already decided when folks ask, which they will, I am still doing Keto..lol

Beautiful and amazing!! Yes sis!!!

Hi there. I think people are posting all over. Also, everyone's experience will be different. One of my friends said she would have taken my place because I had virtually no pain. However with my experience laat week, I was really loopy due to the anesthesia. Of course, I had no appetite and did not eat, as my surgery began around 7ish in the morning. Later that evening, I was more alert and went walking and cracking jokes as usual. Still no pain. Also I had my gallbladder removed as well. I had a good night. The next day, my surgeon wanted me to drink some broth as all I wanted was ice chips. I did and went home around 3pm. I purchased the stomach binder and never used it. I will say 9 days out, I'm still trying to get as much protein and liquids in as possible. So for me, very little pain, thankfully little gas pains (I had plenty w/ lapband; and my energy is picking back up. I hope this helps if you have more questions please feel free to ask. All the best!

Hi Cia2020! I wondered what happened to my surgery twin! Sorry about your postponed surgery. Mine was too rescheduled. I went in for my pre-admit. I asked the nurse had the hospital started rescheduling "elective" surgeries yet? She said no. I was hoping to scape by since my hospital I work for was shutting down on 4/1. Nope 10 minutes after I arrived home, I got the call. It's been rescheduled 2x. Finally my new date is May 21. Just fyi..we all maybe subject to Corona testing. I have to get mine 48 hours before surgery. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. All the best everyone!

I had one when I had Lap Band however since it's been removed, I no longer wear it. I may just get one however with thr integrated electronic medical systems they should be able to retrieve it.

Hi. My was rescheduled from March a few times and now it's May 21. I'm excited!

Awesome!! I'm actuallg having both performed too!

Yes I have surgery scheduled for the 21st and have to go in 48 hours prior to have my testing performed

I went to conduct my PreAdmit yesterday. Five minutes after I returned home, Dr's office called to inform me my surgery was rescheduled from 3/26 to 4/16.

Hello all! Yes I finally set my date! Thursday, March 26!!@

Has anybody heard of this or taken the pills? I know it feels you up as a fiber supplement but what's the effect on the band?

I've fallen in love w/ Unjury but I use lactose free milk. No problems and yes I'm lactose intolerant!
