How hard is it not to feel jaded?
- Ideas for what to tell people?
So if you go to the doctor and someone asks you why, you don't have a problem telling a coworker that it "burns when you pee" and you have a "smelly discharge from your genitals"? Instead of just saying you weren't feeling well? Not everyone needs to know everything. People have an actual RIGHT to privacy. Sent from my iPhone using VST- Ideas for what to tell people?
The only person besides yourself you need to be completely honest with about your health is your doctor. We all have different situations in our lives. We deal with different people and have different social and location situations. Sometimes you already have enough to deal with, you do t want to deal with the local gossip monger about your digestive tract. You might get to the point where you don't care, but sometimes it's just none of anyone's damn business. Do what you are comfortable with. Just make sure 1000000000% truth goes to your doc!

Well of that were true Id be dead! It's the bulk of my Protein intake! Should be added just as any red meat. Sent from my iPhone using VST- Feeling TOO good after surgery?
I felt great after surgery. Had no pain meds AT all after the dose the evening of surgery. Felt great! Sent from my iPhone using VST- Follow up care in the U.S.
If your PCP won't see you anymore, you probably want a new one anyway. Sent from my iPhone using VST- I Need a Bake Good!
You pretty much can eat whatever you like - just watch how much/often. I've stayed away from chemical sweeteners in favor of real sugar and stevia. I feel so much better for it. We tend to overdo things because its "sugar free" - I think that we are more apt to control our intake knowing it has sugar in it. Sent from my iPhone using VST- STOP CALLING IT A TOOL!
So sorry for the loss of your father - but it is in fact a tool. It doesn't do the work by itself. It needs human interaction to be successful. Your father, may he rest peacefully - had a different situation. Sent from my iPhone using VST- 100 pounds
The words don't exist to describe it. There's a spring in your step that you haven't seen in a very long time. There's a mental high that leads to a physical one. It's just...-amazing. Sent from my iPhone using VST- Has anyone had a breast reduction after getting to goal weight?
Not yet but it's coming! I'm a 38DDD - I've always been a DDD gonna put the girls back where they belong at a nice comfy C Sent from my iPhone using VST- Post surgery depression/anxiety
It cannot be dressed enough that these things need to be dealt with before surgery. Is that helpful to you now!? No. But seeking help for it now is! It's not too late! Get thee to your doc! Sent from my iPhone using VST- Slightly controversial drink (wine, spirit, beer) poll
Mojitos! Vodka and cranberry, jack and coke. Beer - I have a drink whenever the desire hits. I don't notice any reduction in my tolerance. Sent from my iPhone using VST- Any Colorado sleevers?

Looking for something to try new! Slice radishes really thin and fry them or bake them like potatoes. Gives you the "starchy" feeling without all the carbs . I garlic them up and OMG. Fantabulous Sent from my iPhone using VST- Pre-op diet and diet coke
Quit drinking that crap. Switch to coffee or iced tea. No point in prolonging the inevitable. I was a diet coke junkie - easily 6-12 a day. Dropped it for iced tea. Don't miss it at all Sent from my iPhone using VST - Ideas for what to tell people?
