    I WISH I could quit Facebook because it really does take up too much of my time, and time I certainly don't need to spend sitting. However, I would feel completely cut off from my family and friends as most of them seldom talk by phone because they put everything on FB! It's a sad sign of our times. I am envious that you were able to. Yeah don't be too envious. Since I got rid of it I have like no friends. My fiancé and my family are the only people I hang out with. I don't mind, because I'm a loner anyway. But sometimes I do mind. *shrugs*. It's sad that Facebook is depended on for staying in touch. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    @@LadyClair I also had a headache for like 36 hours straight at first. Night of day 4 liquid diet - had a rough evening with sudden onset nausea. Drank a Protein shake, ate a couple Tums, and then went to bed early. Seems to have helped.
  7. My surgeon asked me to take off 4 weeks from work. It is a possibility that I could go back sooner. We'll just have to wait and see! Of course this will all depend on your medical history and current health, as well as how complex your surgery could end up being with possible complications.

    Torani Sugar Free Syrups

    I would also like to know how to use these. A couple weeks ago, I tried flavoring regular black coffee with it. It did NOT taste good. Am I not doing it right? lol

    Coffee

    I just started my 2 week pre op liquid diet this morning. Surgeon says no coffee. But I can have plain decaffeinated coffee. --And let me tell you, I'm about falling asleep at my desk right now. No coffee sucks.

    Heel spur

    Also, you could consider making an appt with a podiatrist. They could possibly talk about a cortisone injection. This is something that is easily done in the office, usually right during your appt.
