Cauli-Power pizza is pretty damn good and since the "crust" is vegetables, it's ok to eat! They are expensive considering, but... when you want pizza and can't eat pizza... you can eat cauliflower crust pizza.

And mine was diagnosed with this condition December 2017 and I am going strong#

Well surgery was at 7:30am, woke up in recovery at 9:30 with tightness in chest that decreased slowly. No nausea, taking fluids well. Also no pain where they made the incisions. They gave me oxy for pain which helped take the edge off. Feeling more normal by the hour, I've walked 3 times so far.

And I will Celebrate being on Day#4 of my liver-shrinking diet and I AIN'T BUCKLED YET! And they said someone,my age couldn't do it. I,must have deep resources no one gave,me credit for!😛👍🍶

At the end of every day I need to Celebrate getting through liquid diet!

Good luck to all having there surgery this week I’m sched for the 29th

Hi, my husband is going for surgery this Tuesday. I might have mine also in August but still no date, last week or the one before the last, guessing and waiting for insurance approval. Now I have to focus on my baby and today we were shopping for the clear liquid diet! Our surprise has been the amount of products that claim being healthy and have almost 2000 on sodium 😱! It’s been a little confused to navégate in this page. I hope with just this group I can manage it better and then teach my husband how to get involved since I am sure will be needed as his support group! Hi to everyone front Texas!

I felt like I was nesting, too!

Anyone aug 29 th at OCC ? Little nervous I have to admit this is a big step and scary

Me too! August 8th!

IIRC, Viactiv is based upon Calcium carbonate, which is not as well absorbed as the preferred calcium citrate. Citracal used to have a citrate chew but dropped the product, though I think it got picked up by one of the bariatric Vitamin companies (possibly Bariatric Advantage) I think that they also make a chewable tablet as well - I bought too big of a bucket of them and was using them long after I could use the regular horse pill calcium tablet.
Some vitamin makers (Celebrate is one, IIRC) produce a petite calcium citrate tablet that's half the dose and size of a normal tablet that works well for many.
