  1. You can sustain some minor damage when you're intubated during the surgery. The best thing to do is to work back up to your old range carefully and methodically, and to ensure that you warm up and warm down appropriately.

    My Father is against surgery

    If you're an adult; why does it matter what your father thinks?
  3. It depends on your insurance coverage.
  4. "Oh honey chil', 'Normal' is just a settin' on yo' dryer." "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "
  5. All pre-op labs done! One appointment with the surgeon to go, and the pre-op class. 2 weeks!

      Great! Excited for you :D

  6. The more miraculous claims one makes of a substance, the less likely that it is effective at all. (c.f. apple cider vinegar, snake oil, etc., etc., etc.) "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "
  7. My surgery is scheduled for a few days after Thanksgiving, and this year the idea of a day of gluttony is really unappealing. I don't care for turkey, but I'll have just a few ounces and then continue to eat what's on my plan. "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "

    What was your "last" meal?

    I've decided on a nice Chinese chicken salad... junk's no longer appealing, and I know it'll be months before I can have a salad again. "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "

    1 week preop, can't concentrate

    I'm 2 weeks pre-op and I understand... thankfully my work is basically done for the month so I can putter around 8 hours a day, and Ambien is a lifesaver for nights when the brain doesn't want to shut down. "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "

    Pre-op Hot Chocolate

    My pre-op diet is clear liq uids, specifically wate r, brot h, and sugar-free jell o. Hot chocolat e is not on the list. "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "

    Breakfast options?

    Greek yogurt is a good choice (depending at which stage you're at).

    mean people

    I just asked my sister (who has had a bypass) what she thought of this post, and her response was "Grab her by the hair and slam her face into a car door." I guess I never realized how competitive my sisters were when I was growing up, sheesh! That what I get for being the baby...

    Trolls

    It's always amusing when the apparent definition of Troll amounts to "someone whose opinion is different than mine, and therefore the ability to express that opinion must be stopped!" Lady, you must be new to the Internet; there's no one here even close to being anything like a Troll. I can point you to other sites full of actual trolls if you like...

    The system is designed for two parties, and the only persons that can change that setup are those two parties. They have absolutely no incentive to change the status quo.
  16. Oof, this pre-surgery packet is hefty. :-p

      Glad that reading BP helped make NONE of it surprising.

    Spicing up broth.

    I'm keeping hot chili oil on hand to spice up any bland brot h, if I can tolerate it...
  18. Holy merde, I have a surgery date!

      Yay congratz!

  19. Absolutely touched that my in-laws offered to pay for half of my surgery. Surgery date incoming!

      that is awesome. sounds like they really care about you!

  20. Ever since I stopped drinking Diet Coke earlier this year, there's no appeal to candy. It doesn't even register as a foo d, so it's really easy to ignore.

    Feeling defeated.

    Some of us adults respect the opinions of our loved ones. Having support is a lot easier then not having it at all. You don't need to be rude. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using the BariatricPal App I don't think it's rude to point out that adults should make their own decisions about their body, and be mature enough to ignore the ignorant opinions of their unsupportive family members and acquaintances. "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "
  22. That's awesome :-) "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "

    Not sure why so many people on here are so beholden to what their families think. You're purportedly an adult; act like it! "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "
