I have been told not to shave before other surgeries and was told it was to prevent having breaks in the skin even tiny knicks bc they can be a possible sight where bacteria can enter and cause infection.. Only some surgeons require this from my experience though. If you really want to paint I would go with clear or French but no acrylic the anesthesiologist monitors with a pulse oximeter on finger(acrylic can interfere) and he also watches the color of tonails to assess your oxygen levels .

RNY= Roux en Y which is a type of Gastric Bypass the most commonly performed one.

Happy Day! Positive energy + prayers coming your way!

Congrats,sending positive energy and prayers your way!

Exciting! I can't wait till my turn but it won't be till mid Oct early Nov... I guess the positive is that it will probably cool down by then. I am in San Antonio:)

Yay, git it gurrl!

Gym membership so you can vary your workouts... I have a membership at the Y and it's not too$$ and they have free child care at my location. However I am thinking about getting something for home as well I am thinking about buying a rowing machine to do while watching TV.

I have to catch up on Dexter I think I am on season 5?The one right after Trinity??

Hang in there! I am Pre op but while I was doing weightwatchers I was losing steadily for a bit and I noticed the first few weeks after I started working out I lost nothing but was eating right i was p'd my husband told me to measure because sometimes the body loses fat while gaining muscle and looks like no loss on the scale and sure enough he was right. Another way to think of it is 20 pounds in 2 months 4 more times and you will have dropped 100 pounds in less than a year!

I was thinking about trying these glad you mentioned am not on Pre op diet but I have been doing shakes already.

I read al 3 and actually did like the books...Anastasia did get on my nerves from time to time I found myself thinking why doesn't this girl just speak up lol.It wasn't the best thing ever written but I still liked it.The thing about it I liked was Christian's character I wanted to know why he was the way he was and I was drawn to the story because of him.I found a lot of it comical but it also was a bit dramatic it was pretty entertaining overall.

Gotcha,I figured it out after I went back and reread...

Louise C,Where you talking to me? I said I agreed with you

Hourglass? I wear a 16 misses in jeans I have a butt and muscular legs . I have a defined waist and I am a 38 F/G depending on the bra and a XL or XXL Top.When I was at my smallest my body was the same except I was a size 8 wearing a 36 D and M/L Top.

I haven't tried any yet but the pharmacy at my grocery store HEB has lots of Protein foods like Jellos and Puddings and a lot of it is formulated with low carbs for diabetics...I imagine other grocery pharmacies probably have these things too like Safeway or Kroeger or I have not seen these products at Walmart but don't I go there often they may have them too now...

Vagisil makes powder I believe... I would go to my gyno for lancing bc the derm may not want to deal with Kitties. I use summers eve feminine wash down there it is like a shower gel( not a ******)I also make sure it is completely dry after shower.they even make summers eve feminine wipes that you can use when you go to the bathroom instead of TP. My sister uses Baby wipes every time she goes to bathroom 1 or 2 and she sells it keeps everything fresh... Hope this helps
