Time Of The Month During Your Surgery?
I was in to much pain the first day to care about my period. The pad thing was annoying with the catheter but I got over it..its really not a huge deal just a minor annoyance to add to the unpleasant hospital stay

Medical Assistant Course
The program im registering for is 12,900 plus I get pell grant, student loans..so id owe 7,900..im doing part time nights which is 13 months long rather then 7 months fulltime day. I got so freaked out when I saw the book size that I opted to do part time so I don't get overwhelmed..is the course work in your program intense as it looks?

Berries
I've been reading the whole "careful of the seeds" comments..my mom has a bag of mixed berries from costco and I really want to make a shake(alot of seeds obviously). Im over a month out and can eat anything. Is this a bad idea?

Vitamin D
What's the difference between d2 and d3?

Vitamin D
So I went to my 1 month post op. My dr. Mentioned how fair my skin was(im beyond pale always was) and told me my vitamin d was a little low(after looking at my blood work) which is nothing new to me its always been low. He started suggesting I go walking in short shorts and sleeveless shirts. Told him that's not happening for obvious reasons. So he prescribed me vit d2 1.25mg once a week. Told me vit d supplements wont cut it. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff/ any side effects?

Flavored Waters - Buying In Bulk?
I always got my drinks in bulk from costco. Its the only place I really find all the drinks in mass amount. I drink this stuff called ecodrink. Its a multivitamin drink comes in berry and orange(packets). It comes with a 16oz bottle. Its really good but strong flavor if not diluted(I refill it 4 times and split 1 packet in quarters) so I get 64oz and its easy to transport Not sure about ordering in bulk online

Overheating
Today I decided to garden. Its about 80 degrees out not horrible. I pulled some weeds(not many) then went inside drenched in sweat. Had something to drink and threw that up. I felt like passing out so I sat in an ice cold bath and started to feel better. Went back out 2 hours for 15 mins and planted 3 plants/put down some mulch and same thing happened. Does this happen to anyone?..im not sure if im not hydrated or what but my face is still red and warm(not sunburn) an hour later

Sound Off On Post Op Appetite
Im a month or so out and I do get hungry but a 1/2 cup or something small like that fills me up. If I don't drink enough fluids I get hungry faster. The head hunger is the worst part right now

Sleeve Or Bypass
I was 315 and now im 285. I got the sleeve about a month ago. I chose the sleeve because im scared to death of the dumping that comes with bypass and all the vitamins. Of course if I over eat im sick but it isn't as bad as it could be. I also have ibs and rerouting my intestines probably wouldn't be a good idea

What To Take For Period
