Clipping my toenails and breathing at the same time ? Which I can actually do now!

Congratulations I hope you have an easy and speedy recovery ?

You can buy it online. I got mine from https://www.trythecbd.com/ I purchased the 5,000 mg.

Have you tried CBD oil? It helped me a lot with the pain I had in my feet.

OMG you did it!!! Congratulations GradyCat! Like Willy Wonka says, "I knew you would. I just knew you would!" ? ?

This is from the ASMBS website: Q: Do I need to avoid caffeine after bariatric surgery? A: Caffeine fluids have been shown to be as good as any others for keeping you hydrated. Still, it is a good idea to avoid caffeine for at least the first thirty days after surgery while your stomach is extra sensitive. After that point, you can ask your surgeon or dietitian about resuming caffeine. Remember that caffeine often comes paired with sugary, high-calorie drinks, so be sure you’re making wise beverage choices. I waited a month then started drinking it again.

Lol ?

I wanted to start an inspirational/funny page for favorite quotes or memes. Here's a few I love. Feel free to post your favorites so we can have something to motivate and inspire us along our weight loss journey ?

You made me smile just reading your post. Congratulations! I love hearing how this surgery has made a lot of us feel thankful for a healthier more active future.

I'll have to try that at some point. Thanks for the advice ?

I've never heard of the rice cream test to check stomach volume over time. Interested to know if anyone has ever done this and what kind of results they had.

You're welcome ?

You're welcome. I hope you like them ?

If you click on the link and scroll toward the bottom it says you can use them on scars that are years old so it doesn't sound like you're too late at all.

You're welcome ?

I hope I can eventually eat popcorn. Hulless popcorn cooked with coconut oil in a Whirley Popper is so yummy!

Maybe you could call the hospital where you're having your surgery and ask them. When I was discharged the nurse at the hospital had to walk me out and watch me get into the vehicle and see that my husband was driving. It seems like they could give you an accurate answer, but like the above posters recommended, I'm sure a taxi or an uber would be fine.

If any of you haven't tried ScarAway silicone scar sheets yet I definitely recommend them. I've seen a noticeable improvement on the appearance of my scars after using them when my steristrips came off. You can keep them on for up to two weeks and you don't even feel them. Here's the link to the site that has a $3.00 off coupon you can print out also https://www.myscaraway.com/product/scaraway-silicone-scar-sheets/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8fGNqbKP4gIV1RitBh3JRgw4EAAYASAAEgK6_PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds P.S. They can also be cut down to size

Congratulations! What a great way to reward yourself for your hard work ?

You and your food look amazing ? Congratulations on your weight loss and I hope your reflux gets better ?

I'm cheering for you GradyCat. I know you have been dealing with your stall for awhile and I hope this kick starts your weight loss again ?

Yes!!! This is how to break a stall.

You look great! Congratulations ?
