You're welcome. Some nurses are a bit different.

They aren't a good source of protein, per the information on the packaging. I had one from a coworker, I guess unflavored protein powder can be added.

Hopefully it is healing and rejuvenating rest.

I needed to hear these things, but my weight gain isn't Thanksgiving. I believe that I am stressing, I have a lot going on.

Kaiser Southern California area is thorough and some.

Nicotine, Cannabinoid/THC, H.Pylori, pregnancy testing and I have to keep thinking.

Best wishes

Nice to meet you as well and welcome aboard.?

Please share your details of the Kaiser Bariatric Surgery process at that location, if you don't mind. You can message me or post here. I'm curious and would like an idea of what to expect.

Welcome to your January surgery siblings group...You will be starting our week off with surgery that Monday. I'm excited for all of us.

Emma, the lesson as an observer of your story is that we must pay attention to everything going on with our bodies. You have totally changed my perspective and how I'm approaching surgery. I will follow each and every direction of the surgeon, take it slow and listen to the signals from my body. I'm humbled and grateful that you are here with us, recovering.

Stay encouraged everyone.

If you know you are feeling fine, then don't allow their dialogue to fill your mind. You are cleansing and detoxing your body, you are doing it for your wellness.

Welcome back home ????!!!!

My closet is surgery ready as well. I'm looking forward to wearing a few dresses, smaller pants and shoes.

I'm a habitual leg puller if you ask for it.

AJ and Green, funny responses. I'm going to use those if forced. I love a blank stare and blink. Lmaooooo!

I hope the dizziness subsides. May I ask if you've lost any weight? I want to start my diet the week after Christmas.

Damn!!!! I have been practicing the separation of food and beverage. My friend who had a revision from Vsg to rny, can eat & drink simultaneously. I'm jealous and still pre-op. Lol!

Amen

I have been very vocal on BP about being private and not telling people that I'm going to have surgery. In 8 weeks I will be sleeved and my decision hasn't changed, I only wish 2 of my so-called supporters didn't know. I'm no longer bringing the topic up and neither has inquired in awhile. I plan to get through this process with the very intimate support group I do have and focus on healing. BP has been a constant source of knowledge and expertise for me refer to during this process. I don't want to hear the ignorant comments, see the judging looks, encounter the whispers from the naysayers or remain in fear of the unknown. I don't want any unsolicited advice on my health or fat. I have my fears that can be paralyzing enough, my BP family has helped me face my fear of the unknown. Family can't prepare me for the constipation, gas pains, liquid diet, vitamins, relate to possible dumping, sip walk sip, 5 bandages on my abdomen, protein being my best friend, turning down holiday invitations as I prepare for surgery next month, hurting knees, horomone imbalances, my Amazon cart is surgery ready and etc. Just how no one couldn't have a conversation with me about my obesity and asking questions of concern, we aren't going to discuss my conversion to healthy. I will not contribute to gossip about myself, unfortunately I don't have a solid circle that understands privacy..

That's my goal, to not rush back & be 200%. Mind, body and soul...I want 4-5 weeks, my job is stressful and I will only focus on self during my time after the procedure. 2 weeks for me, isn't enough time, I have expressed my desire to be able to heal upfront.

One day at a time, was your final chewable meal a good one?
