Ladies PMS Question... Help...
sleeved 9/6/16. Always extremely heavy with heavy clotting before surgery. Post was light for the first month then back to normal with less clotting. I found that Barlean’s evening primrose oil capsules helped tremendously with cramping. Read into it. It works.

What to use besides Advil
My doctors office told me I can take Advil as long as it’s in gel form. Ask. I do it only when i need it. Tylenol doesn’t work for me. Sleeved 9/6/16. CW155 Lost 122

Challenges transitioning from liquids
Sleeved September of 2016. The best way for a smooth transition is not to rush into the next steps. Liquids go to thicker liquids ( protein drinks, yogurt, apple sauce, pudding), to soft foods. I survived on refried beans, soft scrambled eggs. A lot of ideas for your stages on Pinterest. Good luck .

Protein Shakes
Premier protein was my go to drink. Pinterest has great recipes for premier protein shakes. I am a year and two months post surgery and I can't drink them anymore. The smell makes me nauseous.

Can sugar substitutes be avoided?
I didn't want them. Everything seemed so sweet after I started introducing more foods into my diet. I don't think you will want or need sweeteners or sugars. Taste buds changed drastically for me. Sleeved 9/6/16 SW 267 CW 150

Incisions are EXTREMELY itchy
I had the same thing happen. I had an allergic reaction to the glue. I tried everything for the itch. The only thing that helped was a prescription hydrocortisone cream with a steroid in it. Good luck Sleeved 9/6/16 -267 CW 150

Hives

Hospital bag
Robe to walk around in. The staff makes you walk around the floor to move your body and it's cold.
