I've read that after surgery you can't take Aleeve any longer. Is it true you can only take Tylenol? That normally doesn't help me.

I survived last night but am still thinking about it. Hopefully it passes soon. I am proud I was able to get past it without giving in for once. Thanks for the support!

I den eat it thankfully. I didn't have any in the house but had serious debates to not go to the store and get some. I ate grapes instead. Yay me!!!

I'm 3 months preop. For the past week I've been dying for cake. I don't know how much longer I can fight this craving. HELP!

I'm being told I'll only be in the hospital overnight. I want to be comfortable but I want to be practical.

I'm curious what everyone wore after surgery at the hospital? You know, for the walks before you were discharged. I would like to wear something normal other than a hospital gown. I'm not sure what would be better knit pants and shirt or something like a long pajama type dress thing? Suggestions......

HI. Im from the Reading area in PA. Im still pre-op. I think maybe 3 more months to go. Surgery will be at St Lukes in Allentown, PA. Would love to meet some local people!

That sounds promising. I heard using spirit of cinnamon on your sclap too, that helps grow your hair back. Havent tried it yet. I cant deal wth losing all this har. Ill be bald soon and I didnt even have the surgery yet.

Im 2 months pre-op and am already starting to notice that my hair is really thinning. I can see the shine of my scalp and an noticing alot of hair falling out all day long. Im curious if anyone elses this and if they noticed any results. Thanks!!

I am, I love it!

My answer to this is endless....... less pain, not be worried what seating will be like every place I go, be able to rid in any car in any seat with a seatbelt, go on rides in an amusement park, not to be stared at like im a freak or monster by kids in public places, ride in an airplane, enjoy my picture taken, cross my legs, wear a dress, go for a jog, play on the floor with my niece, actually get the jobs I deserve and not be overlooked because they assume Im lazy, use the stairs instead of elevators everywhere, buy clothes in stores and not online, wear shoes other than sneakers, wear bracelets, actually fit in something that says "one size fits all", use the regular blood pressure cuff, wear an ankle bracelet, have an umbrealla actually keep my ass dry in the rain, fitting in an innertube center at the waterparks, go through the drive-thru alone for my family and have them not assume its all for me, wear tank tops so I can get rid of this farmers tan, get a massage and not worry if they have portable tables that will hold me,.......................... my list could go on and on and on.

UMMM Is it weird that Im now sitting here feeling for my collarbone? LOL. Never even thought about that until I read this.

The dietitan gave me some samples to try today. Mostly all chewable. There isnt as many as I thought there was going to have to be on a daily basis. Thnaks for the suggestions!

Im in the start of my 3rd of 6 months pre-op. I want to start taking some of the suppletments I will HAVE to take later. Mainly because now Im starting to eat how I would afterwards. Can someone help me with taking what I need to without having to take a million pills? Thanks!!
