Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

Does anyone take the papaya enzymes everyday as part of your regimen? Just curious :-)

Thank you very much and good to know about the papaya enzyme. Was just checking.

I'm just scared cuz I hate to have this other surgery and my daughter lose me. My dad promised me he would do everything to keep ex away from her since he hasn't had her best interest and only cares for himself. That made me feel better. But I know not having it is pending cloud of doom over my head.

Gen, if you haven't had a negative reaction to anesthesia before, chances are, you won't this time. You are going to be fine.

My daughter is driving me and my dad will meet us there. I just don't understand why some people have to continually be tried in their life. One thing on top of another.

I know it. I've felt the same way. My Mom always says that we are like raw diamonds and the more trials and tribulations we go thru the more we get "polished", until we are brilliant, beautiful gems! Lord I hope it's true!!

Hello everyone... Havent been on here in awhile. Just wanted to see how everyone is doing.

I'm 6 weeks out and have lost 28. I'm a slow loser but 9 to lose to onederland. If it weren't for the stall, I would have hit it before next surgery, Jan 31. That was my goal. But oh well, need a new goal now.

Yes I tried oranges and the acid is nasty tasting coming back up...sorry to be graphic

Thanks for letting me know. Sounds like a bad idea.

It's because you are strong and can handle it. Prepare yourself mentally for a good surgery with a positive removal of all the things that need to get out. Sending good thoughts your way!

I eat natural, no sugar added mandarin oranges without a problem. Maybe you could try them.
