    Pain Medication

    Ask your primary (if you have one) if they ate willing to prescribe either narcotics or tramadol and/or toradol (Ketorolac) for your pain management for surgery. Because of pain med abuse (and the newly labeled) opioid crisis, doctor's are minimizing what narcotics they give out and why. Good Luck ❤

    Help.

    Ask your surgeon if its ok to start stool softeners Try GNC lean shakes or Fairlife high protein shakes. I've found these brands far more palatable than Premier. If you prefer savory over sweet, lots of brands make protein soups. Check online and in the BariatricPal store. Happy Healing ❤

    I bought this dress for less than $10 and I've been wearing it nonstop. It's butter soft and extremely form fitting. Seriously it's so tight you can see my gas bubbles 😂 20200701_111913.mp4 20200701_111913.mp4 (Dark grainy video/BF was asleep)

    Post OP Losts of Questions

    Not a "Switcher" but these are pretty common questions so : + High frequency bowel movements seem to be common for this surgery + High protein diets tend to produce hardened stools/constipation + Higher water intake/fiber supplements/stool softeners daily helps + Embrace/ Silagen /Cicatape/ Metipac/ etc medical silicone tape will help with the scars + Notify your team immediately if you experience an sudden rapid or slowing heartbeat that persists, worsening pain in legs or abdomen, trouble breathing, see blood (bright red) in your stool that persists, have a high fever, extremely lethargic, etc. Happy Healing ❤

    Whew! Ok! When you said it was a California only product I panicked and made a rash decision to mix my only remaining bottle with a container of Half & Half to create a custom cookie butter creamer 😳 Crisis averted

    To tell or not to tell

    I waited well into year 2 post op before I outright admitted it to whoever asked. Buy that point I didn't care about anyone's opinion and living life fairly normally again. Do what feels right to you.
  25. Calorie restrictions: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25411646/ I was told by my revision surgeon to think of an obese persons liver like a marbled steak (fat ribboned through out- fatty liver) and the goal is to remove that fat and make it more lean, soft and pliable so that it does not crack tear or break while manipulating it to reach the digestive system
