Full time student with short holiday breaks. The 21st was the best date for my schedule.

I have a friend who is transgender, and she hasn't come out to everyone yet. In order to keep it straight, she told us to address the person that she was dressed as. So if she was dressed as a female, we should call her by her new name. But if she was dressed as a male, we should call her by her old name.

I am doing two shakes per day. Without them, I would never meet my Protein goals. At 3 months post op, I can't eat enough to get to goal.

Not sure about most of the herbals, but a general rule of thumb is that anything that starts with a G is a natural blood thinner (ginkgo, gensing, etc.).
Also, I'm not just spouting off pseudoscience, I'm a student pharmacist.

I agree that it sounds like body dysmorphia disorder (BDD). I know I suffer from it now (pre-op). In my head I'm not as heavy as I actually am. I look in the mirror and I feel like my physical appearance doesn't match my vision of myself. Hopefully it doesn't carry over post-op.
It's good you're seeing a counselor. Definitely bring it up to them.

Salicylates reduce your platelets, meaning you won't clot like you're supposed to and have a higher risk of bleeding more than you should.

That's my date too, but I'm going with Dr. Elias Ortiz.< /p>

I'm having the sleeve with Dr. Elias Ortiz in Tijuana on December 21st. Fly in the 20th and out on the 25th.

Halo Top taste better.

I had something similar a few years back. Their best guess was an intestinal spasm. Hasn't recurred.

Will be having mine one week after you:) same Doctor too.

When losing weight after surgery, i wondered, what i would look like when i hit certain milestones and how i may appear to others. So i would Google, male, 5'6", 250 lbs, or 200 lbs or 160 etc.... I came across a couple of websites that cater to this very fact. Others put in pics of their height and weight. I have found it useful and encouraging. Maybe others will find benefit so wanted to share.

@@Tssiemer1 Good lord girl calm down! Are you doing something right now?! just reading that makes me want to peep out my window blinds in a conspicuous manner! The paranoia is Real!! I don't care if you smoke or not. In fact my brother grows marijuana for a living (Colorado) anywho tell them you ate some KIND bars. They have hemp seed in them. Military personnel aren't allowed to eat them because they will cause a positive drug test. I'm not telling you to lie I'm just saying hey did you eat any kind bars lately? Oh you did? Ok, well relate that. If you are however smoking pot then cut that sh*t out . You're going to be pretty miserable after surgery when you can't eat.

Depending on what you tested positive for I could tell you what OTC drugs could cause a false positive.

Drugs that can cause a false positive for THC: ibuprofen, naproxen, tolmetin, efavirenz, pantoprazole, dranabinol.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone around my age could give info on skin. If you had WLS under 30, and preferably had no kids but needed to lose 100-120 lbs, how did your skin hold up to the weight loss?
Thanks!

I bought the pack. I don't like the chocolate splendor, it was way too sweet for me. I do like the strawberry mixed with Water. I already drank both of those. Haven't tried the others yet.

As others have said only your Dr can answer this one. Some people do no liquid diet and eat up to the night before surgery and others are on a liquid diet for weeks. Good luck.
