What is your Anthem?
I decided before my surgery that Worth It by Fifth Harmony was gonna be mine. I've always had a slight issue with my own feeling of worth so I play the song when I get down and out. ☺️

Driving
I had a surgery on Tuesday and drove back to college on Saturday. I kept a pillow over my sorest incision and had it tucked in my seat belt for bumps or anything. It helped a lot.

Protein Options
Update: talked to NUT she replied (we text) "The only one is at smoothie king is called a gladiator. Google cyntrax. They have lemonade and others. They have sample packages." I got a strawberry blueberry one this morning and I tolerated it well. I seem to be able to tolerate fruit flavors but not artificial or chocolate/vanilla flavored. Only problem was, I drink them fast enough and mine got whipped and became too texturized for me to handle. I may look into the Protein powder you can put into things. PS. today's victory? I can eat really soft noodles and that is so exciting bc everything is so nauseating lately.

Smoking after Surgery
When I lit a cigarette is was more to prove to myself that what I was craving was in the past. I wanted to prove to myself that I didn't "need" it anymore. It may not make sense, but it helped me a lot. I took one puff off a cigarette, I don't think it did much harm. And I'm fully quit now, so no future harm. It was just reassurance.

Thanks for not judging me btw and thanks for sharing your experience. No problem, I am blessed to have this surgery. Blessed that I killed two birds with one stone. Stay strong, you won't regret it!

Protein Options
We have a place called smoothie king, I'm going to look at their nutritional values and then decided and discuss with NUT tomorrow. If that isn't permitted then I will try making my own!

Smoking after Surgery
Honestly I wondered, but after surgery my appetite for a cigarette was carved. I have no want or interest in them. Your body is going to completely change in its desires and cravings. I lit one, and tried one huff and threw it out. It gives you gas that's painful and it tastes awful now.

Is there anything wrong with getting a smoothie? The thought of most all food right now is repulsing.. I can barely tolerate smells. I'm going to try to make the soft scrambled eggs because eggs are protein

I can't keep the protein shakes down, they are so sweet they make me nauseous. What else can I do? Smoothies with protein maybe?

Incision Glue
I'm 4 days post op and my glue is starting to come off. I'm kind of freaking out because it's only be 4 days & I don't want any complications! Is this normal?? I just need some peace of mind if it is, and if it isn't what should I do? (ER, call doctor, ect.) Thanks so much!

Smoking & the sleeve
I am obviously craving to smoke. However, I have heard horror stories and stories about people who smoke through the whole thing. I don't want to smoke. So, please start giving me all the reasons I shouldn't so my brain will maybe quit craving it!

Scarring
This is me now, 3 days post op. Should I wait for the glue to naturally fade to put anything on it? Thank you for all the advice!
