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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
