Just sent you a friend request & facebook message.

Release my inner fashionista by buying clothes I actually like that resemble living room furniture from the 70's, and not have to pay more money for the additional length and width on said clothing. Plus-size clothes are very unfortunate looking.

Might have something to do with me losing 49 lbs since March 25th and my body trying to play catch-up? Maybe. I don't know. Annoying, though.

My pre-op diet wasn't liquids. I had to drink 5 Protein shakes per day, and then I was allowed 5 oz of lean meat/poultry + 2 cups of veggies and a fat source in the evening for dinner. I was much more lucky than most.

It is a "Secret" group. No one on your facebook friends list will be able to see anything in the group, that you're a member of the group, or that the group even exists. I haven't told most of the people on my friends list about my surgery. Most of our members are keeping their surgery relatively secret. If your concern is privacy, it's not an issue, because no one can see the group exists, anything in the group, or even if a person is a member of the group unless they are a member of the group themselves. And, in order to become a member of the group, you have to be approved by a moderator.

They say that the pre-op diet is required to shrink your liver so it doesn't get damaged in surgery. I also have a theory that they do it to get us to detox from sugars and bad carbs so we don't struggle with those cravings and issues post-op.

I was taking it pre-op and have continued taking it after. I've noticed no change.

Just sent you an invitation. If you do not receive it, please let me know.
The link won't work because you have to be invited to the group in order to access it.

If you quit prior to surgery, why would you want to start up again? All of that hard work for nothing.
My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2011, and it has been a long, painful road for us all. Please don't walk down the same path. You've come this far with getting sleeved to take better care of your health and body. Embrace the gift and second chance to start over, don't waste it.

It won't interfere with your surgery at all. Worst case scenario is you go under anesthesia with the tampon in and wake up with it removed.
The pain meds they'll give you after surgery will also basically eliminate any and all cramps you may get. Sucks if you get your period on surgery day, but at least the pain medicine helps out a lot.

Just sent you an invitation to join the group! So sorry about the long wait. VST wasn't sending me e-mail notifications saying that people were replying to this thread, and I rarely ever check this site now that I'm so busy with the FB group. If you didn't receive the invitation I e-mailed to you, please let me know.

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry about all this. I never got any of the e-mails from VST telling me that anyone was replying to this thread. I added all of you above ^^^. I'll go back through the thread right now and make sure I'm not missing anyone. If you didn't/don't get an invitation to join the group, please let me know. Sometimes facebook is glitchy with it.

Just sent them an invitation, Karen.

...but the nose clip would get in the way of my nose piercing.
I'm so glad I still like the Protein Drinks I also drank pre-op. Happy for you that you found the secret! lol...

I went a week without taking my multi. Ar first I was doing flint stones but could not tolerate the sweet chalkiness. I decided to switch to a pill cut in quarters but when I tried to swallow I felt as though they were going to get stuck in my throat ( scary). I finally took the Gummy multi yesterday and had no problems. I'm thinking the gummy is better than nothing.

April 8th, for me. I go from being ecstatic to terrified.
