Thanks and will do, Mouse :)

How are you doing????

A day away from three weeks out and a week out from wisdom teeth extraction and I'm doing really well! Especially since I'm now into my purée stage and at first I had to force myself to eat. But now I look forward to my Protein Snacks lol dark meat chicken and fish are MIRACLES.

You'll do great! And yes, you will hate the liquid purge as we all do but think, a year from now, you won't even remember this part :)

Hi Ladies, me again :)

 

I'm planning to buy the Post-Op Package after surgery while I'm at the OCC and am wondering if I can consolidate the containers of powder into 2. 

 

Also, I won't have any problems carrying on that much Protein Powder on my flights will I?  I know I can only take a small amount of liquids, gels etc. but I'd hate to buy all that Protein and have it taken away. 

 

thanks :)

Healthbound1, I was there the week before Thanksgiving & several ladies tried buying the post op package while there & they didn't have it in the clinic. They were told they needed to purchase from the website so you may want to call & check.

Ah, crap.  Really?  So, it's possible I can't buy the Vitamins or shakes while there?  I hadn't even considered this, I'll write and ask right now.  Thank you!

There is a GNC near the hotel if you need it. When I was at the OCC in February the clinic didn't have any Enspira products either. If you don't have any shakes for the few days after surgery, you will be fine. Drinking Water, Gatorade G2, or Vitamin water was all I could muster for about a week after surgery!

Has anyone tried to get copies of their medical records from the OCC post surgery? I am having no luck in getting an actual answer, and I am having some pain issues that won't go away. My local Dr insists on seeing the records but won't contact the OCC directly, saying I must, but I'm getting the run-around. Would love to hear from others who have received their copy or tried. Thanks!

Basically you have to get them while you are there because they destroy them due to lack of space. They figure they won't see you again so they toss them. They do such a large volume that it would take up too much space.

Yeah, I asked to buy them there, they said they didn't carry the vitamins. Only available online

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
