Do you still have your gallbladder?

It was only a matter of time before this thread was turned a pissing match about who is better than who based on who does and doesn't smoke pot.

I was told I would be there for about 1.5 days.

Can I have a bowl? I need something to munch on and I'm all out of popcorn .

Says the person that just told someone " just like the rest of ur race African American and ignorant."

And frankly anyone trying to act like someone is bashing this broad based on her race is ridiculous. Stop reaching for something to start a petty bs fight over. Pretty sure everyone on this site is grown and it's ridiculous that people are trying to make something out of nothing. Take the drama llama elsewhere, high school was years ago. I find it disgusting that any person would pull insurance fraud. It's because of people that do irresponsible crap like that that makes it harder for everyone else. It's like the assholes that are chasing pain killers that make it so that people like me who are genuinely in pain have to jump through hoops to get something to manage debilitating pain. People have every right to be pissed that someone is doing something illegal and then boasting about it.

People that commit insurance fraud make it harder for people who do it legally to get what they need.

I want to know too lol

The diarrhea might be gallbladder related. Is it just with certain foods or all the time? I had mine out back in September and I know if I eat certain foods I have to go to the bathroom within 15-20min after. I have a friend who had hers out and had to go on a full vegetarian diet because the majority of foods gave her diarrhea.

Looking for crockpot meals. I have an 8qt crockpot so anything that freezes well would be great. I'd prefer to make large batches and then freeze into some single serve for easy consumption and smaller portions for easy defrosting. Plus if they are family friendly for a small child and my fiance so I don't have to make them a different meal on those nights.

I'm guessing I should give this to my son until he is older? Or just leave out the wine?

If he cannot and will not love you for who you are regardless of how much you weigh you should consider divorce. You deserve someone that loves and appreciates you and makes you feel that love every day.

And there are tools to help you quit smoking just like surgery is a tool to lose weight.

There are so many things I want to say to so many of the people in this thread but it really wont do a damn bit of good. I watched two grandparents die due to smoking, my mother has breathing problems due to it and I quit after being a 2 pack a day smoker for 10yrs. Does quitting suck? Yep. Is it hard? Sure is. The only people that will quit will do it because they really want to. I've begged my mom to quit (and she said she would when both my dad and I quit but she hasn't) because I'm worried she wont be there to see my son grow up. In the end she'll quit if and when she wants. I'm with all the people who say if you are getting the surgery to be healthy why would you continue to smoke. Sure, not ALL smokers die due to smoking but you do cause a whole lot of health issues you wouldn't normally have. Not to mention how much harder it makes working out. I also hate having to smell cigarette smoke when I'm walking out in public with my son, I hate that I don't have a choice if he is exposed to second hand smoke in some situations. It's one thing if you are harming yourself but people that walk anywhere near you also have to breath it in. To the OP, I would really check with your dr to see if they are going to test you. My surgeon requires that you quit smoking for a period of time prior to the surgery and will refuse to do your surgery if you have nicotine in your system. They also test for a period of time after surgery and will deny seeing you (IDK if it affects insurance) if you start back up. From what my surgeon had said in his seminar it can cause serious problems after surgery.

My dr requires 5yrs of follow-ups, though I'm not sure how often the check-ups are after the first yr. They also urge us to go to the free support groups that they hold every month. It helps them in their studies of patients who have the surgeries.

I've always been awful with meal planning. I don't get my surgery date until May 30th when I meet with my surgeon but I'm trying to get a jump on it. Is there anyone that is willing to give me examples of what they eat in a typical day/week. Anyone that is willing to give me some pointers would be great. I'm also looking for meals that would also be baby friendly. My son will be around 1yr old by the time I have surgery and will be fully on solids and I really don't want to have to make 2 different meals 3x a day, 7 days a week. I know there is a food forum but I'm not really finding what I need there. As added incentive I'll add a picture of my cute little man, you can't help but love his face. .

nobody?

Honestly either would be helpful but I'm really needing help on the solid food after I'm cleared for it. It seems different dr's have different requirements on diet directly after (at least from what I've read) for liquid and soft foods and such so I planned to ask my surgeon about their requirements on what is ok. TYVM, he is the cutest little man ever. Every time I go to a dr appointment the nurses always ask if they can keep him lol. At my new OB/GYN I let the nurses play with him during my appointment if they aren't busy and it definitely makes their day.

What kind of shakes are you using?

I think she meant without having to go to each persons profile

What kind of shakes are you all using? I tried Unjury but I hate the taste :/.
