The only things you may have to consider are energy levels post op, building in bathroom breaks and requesting if you can drink/eat during the classes. It seems people bounce back a lot quicker with laparoscopic vs open surgery,

Sometimes I stare longingly at the children’s section honestly believing I could fit the 14-16 sizes (especially tank tops and T-shirts) I am only brought to my senses when I too realize “princess” and “super cool!” aren’t really my mantras ?

Dumping for 4 days straight? Need advice.
Sorry it’s been a rough week! Any resolution yet? Yes sleepers can dump however it may not be dumping because dumping tends to resolve quickly not usually days long (unless you keep eating the offending foods) Also Desitin or any diaper rash cream works wonders even for adults.

The only thing that keeps me full
OMG I thought I was the only one who’s hunger was eliminated by tea (specifically tea with milk) I have no clue why this works. It was the same when I used to drink coffee. Is caffeine a strong appetite suppressant? Idk Very exciting that you found something that helps ❤️
