  1. My boss told me in a fit of rage that " you need to get healthy." I told her " I am trying." To which she responded "don't try! Make it happen!" Don't think that was at all legal. Nor the half bonus and raise.
  2. The pre-op diet really was rough, but cant say I had the same issues.
  3. I agree with above. Most bands are laproscopic. Had to be a scare tactic. Stomach had strong acid in it. Two days is too long to remain recognizable. Now they may have nicked the stomach during laptop due to the food in it, then patient confirmed eating the fries and burger.
  4. Btw I hare predictive text. Mess = meds. Sorry for any confusion
  5. Dang ash, was there complications during your surgery or special circumstances? That sound pretty conservative approach.

  7. Depends on surgery and any complications. I found I felt good 6 days out, but over did it and was beat tired. I think u have to listen to your body and pocketbook. If you can afford to br off longer u might consider it.
  8. I agree with 2muchfun. However it can cause acid reflux. That will differ from person to person.
  9. Same here. Message me. All in this together.
  10. Good ion jschlugs... way to go
  11. I had cream of asparagus and tomato. They were both good.
  12. We had to wait three years and do invetro to get preggers. I wish you the best.
  13. I found prilosec made acid worse I had them change mine. Over time your body can reject certain meds. You may just need to find another and cycle thru when issues occur.
  14. Doctors scare people with tales of complications. I do agree the post op diet shrinks the liver by throwing the body into ketosis. But if it was really a concern for liver size I would think they would reject people over xxxxx weight. As you get larger so does the liver. I didn't stray from diet but cant blame one who did. All liquid is terrible torture.
