Any Scrapbookers Here? Too soon for a post-op Crop?



Recommended Posts

I've been invited to a crop being held 11 days after my surgery......do you think that's too soon? or am I out of my mind? I'll be on full liquids at that point and can pack some strained Soup and Protein Drinks and can pack light.....

I'm thinking I should decline......but it sounds like fun! [you just have to say the word "fun", and I'm there LOL]

I think if you feel up to it you should go! You'll be sitting the majority of the time anyway, as for your crop supplies just ask the staff if they would help you carry things inside. I work at a scrapbook store and we always help ppl carry in their items.

If you're concerned about bathroom issues just ask if you can have a seat with direct access to the bathroom.

I doubt anyone would ask about you only drinking liquids, usually they are too busy cropping and talking to notice. :-)

Best of luck to you!

Thanks, GB! For months I've been drinking the RTD Protein drinks, hopeful that it wouldn't be unusual for people to see me doing it LOL

I was thinking, if you put your rtd Protein drink in one of those double wall travel mugs no one would be the wiser. I always carry mine around and no one ever asks about it.

Something like this, mine is solid though so you can not see through it.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
