      Hope surgery was smooth and recovery easy! 😊

  2. Tomorrow is surgery day!  Today is juice, juice and more juice.  Well, not all the juice - 60oz of 100% fruit juice (no pulp) spread throughout the day plus other sugar-free beverages and water.  I went with juice boxes so that I could easily track the amount of ounces I'm drinking.  Working well so far.

  5. Hi everyone, for those of you that have their surgery  from today to Nov. 11 please post if possible how you are doing and feeling, and your experiences. I am excited for all of you and can't wait to hear and learn and get any tips you may have.

      I received my surgery date today! It's November 4th. Only 12 days. Normally a 2-week liquid diet required. However, we're on vacation & they said I can start it Monday since my BMI is 41. So, so excited and just a teeny bit nervous. I know it may not be easy but I'm ready!!

      Best wishes to all!!

I won't even be able to look him in the eye. what should I do

      I wasn't able to see your entire post but I hope the use of the word 'was' wasn't what you meant. I'm sorry for the issues you are going through and hope they improve very soon. As stated above- brothers (and sisters) on occasion let their mood/temper/state of mind overload their mouth. A good therapist can be a life saver. Please continue to have faith in yourself despite the words or actions of others. Keep working toward your goals. You can achieve them.

  7. How do i edit my surgery info?

      I had difficulty with this as well because my user name wasn't on the top of my page as others described. If yours is- it is easy. Click on the drop down arrow by your username and it will give you 2 main sections: Content and Settings. Under Settings you'll find 'My Surgery'. Click on that and you will be able to edit that information. You can also find the 'Ticker' option there if you want to create one as a lot of members have. In order to get my username with the drop down arrow-on the top of my page I had to do a lot of clicking around. I believe it was in the 'Activity' selection somewhere that changed my page to one with a 'ribbon' containing Subjects such as STORE/FORUMS/ACTIVITY/PODCASTS/UNREAD with my username above that ribbon. Wish I could give you better instructions on the last part but I was just clicking around and it changed and now I don't remember my exact steps. Good Luck!
