  1. Im taking a housecoat, heating pad, iPad, sweat pants to go home in, my own pjs. Thanks for the reminder, warm socks, slippers. Sports bras, underware, belly band. Phone charger, iPad charger. That's it so far.
  2. My Surgeons office said no Gummies, but I love the Gummies!
  3. I cant wait till Garage Sale season starts, you can get some really nice clothes, really cheap.
  4. I pay 34.00 a month at my Curves. If I want to work hard I can get a good work out, if I want to be lazy I get a so so work out. It all depends on me. And I love No Men Allowed!
  5. Understand, mine is worried but supportive. That helps!
  6. I noticed a lot of January 22nd surgeries and wanted to wish you all well, and would like to friend you all. We can support each other as well.
  7. So you can do both if need be?
  8. Have you ever heard of anyone who had the sleeve that gained the weight back? I know I have heard of the bypass ones gaining it back but what about the sleeve ones?
  9. Could it be possible that your vitamins make you sick? If I take my vitamins on an empty stomach, it makes me puke.
  10. Hi Yasmine, I am pre op and have had the flu shot and still went through what your going through. We are in a flu epidemic so it's kinda expected. Keep your head up, spring is coming.
  11. Has anyone had the non-narcotic pain relief pump? How was it? Is it worth it? I've been considering this and would like some input. Thanks
  12. So happy classes are all done. But I came home and was really tired. There is a chocolate fudge cake on the counter and yep I did it. Started just a sliver off the cut part but it was sooo good had to have another. Feel kinda guilty but surgery is 7 days away just had to have it. I've been so good on the liver diet, I just caved. All I can say
  13. Yep, final class, it's only 7 hours long. Lol. My hubby is complaining cause he hates classes. Even for work. He sleeps through class, but always aces tests. He has to go, they require your support to attend with you. I think it's funny, but at least he's going.
  14. I never could take vitamins on an empty stomach, always with milk or something. You may be that way too.
  15. This syrup everyone keeps talking about, do you find it in the pancake section or the coffee section of the store?
  16. Mine is ginapatton, need friends too
  17. There is a contact us page, I contacted them a couple days ago. They deleted my old account and now I have what I need. They are very good at taking care of issues.
  18. So sorry for you. I purchased a belly band from JCP for my surgery. From experience, it holds it all together. My Mom taught me this lil trick, don't know how I made it without one.
  19. But, isn't that like a straw? I thought no sucking was allowed?
  20. A drain tube has holes on the end to allow fluid to drain from abdominal area, usually blood and water drain out. They place it in the area they removed inside you with the other end out of you with a bulb on the end that has lite suction. When it's not putting out a lot they just pull it out. It's not that deep so it isn't that bad when they take it out. I've have several of them in the past.
  21. You know on the place above your picture when you make a post has a name like "Member", "Advanced Member". Etc.... Who puts that there and who pickes that name?
