  1. I'm glad you're recovering. I hope it is smooth sailing going forward.
  2. Nope. I was too scared to "cheat" preop or postop.
  3. Wow. How scary that must have been for you. I'm glad you're recovering at home now. How will removing so much intestines affect your postop recovery?
  4. Quest seem to be the most nutritionally balanced and are tasty.
  5. But you weren't concerned while you were actually drinking? I ask because I am a food addict and for me, I was never thinking of the binging while I was doing it. I only experienced regret and concern afterwards. If you are a food addict as well then you may want to be aware of addictive behaviors resurfacing.
  6. C'mon. You cannot fault Susan or Alex for wanting to ensure the safety of VST members. Or any person... Especially this day and age.
  7. I saw that at the store last night. I almost bought it. Anyone finding that it works?
  8. This is my newest supplement. I'm hoping it helps.
  9. An unfortunate new trend for me.... Fortunately I have very thick and plentiful hair. I'm keeping my eyes on my Protein and added a B Complex 100 to Vitamin regimen in addition to my multi-vitamin, B12, and Calcium Citrate w/ Vitamin D. I hope it helps.
  10. I think you hit the nail on the head. The OP is reacting to her own feelings of guilt.
  11. Does it concern anyone when surgeons are booking through multiple coordinating companies? How do they all keep track of the surgeons schedule? They're competitors, not coworkers.
  12. I agree 14 is too young. Especially when you don't even know what you're in for postop. You know what you've heard or read but that doesn't take the place of real experience.
  13. My PCP is extremely supportive. Him being onboard with my decision was very important to me. He does my blood work. Tracks my weight. He is monitoring my positive progress with my comorbidities. sleep apnea and temperamental heart are going the way of the dodo! Plus Dr. Aceves sent me home with PCP postop follow up needs. If you haven't already found a good PCP then research it with the same fervor used to research a Mx surgeon. Good luck
  14. No. It's nasty. I don't care for the chocolate powder either.
  15. I sent you a PM. With your permission I will keep you in my prayers.
