Bryn sorry about the💦, you know you may return from the OR,either on a blue-backed absorbent pad or a "granny pad: and mesh panties on. One of the detrimental joys of being female and being pre-menopausal. Aunt Flo would show up at the most incovenient times, like,most relatives drop in uninvited and overstay her welcome. I kept begging my gynecologist to help me murder the old broad, never would, I had to let her die off on her own, and typical sneaky broad, she sputtered many months until she,gave up and moved away. Last time was the morning my older grand-daughter was born, waiting for my son-on-law to call, thought well I'll tinkle one more time and surprise! Usually a little cramping before but not this time, afteriNaomis' s both my RD and I had granny pads on, she had a good excuse, me, didn't know if Aunt Flo was going to spit and sputter or vomit red all over my undies. And usually when she decided to do the letter not even tampons slower her down. I was 60 years 2 months and 10 days old, it was not fair! My mother started at 9, was over at 54 maybe 55, I started the week before my 13th birthday and was chugging along for that long. Couldn't catch a break!

Oh wow! Haha. Yea I am expecting the mesh panties... but I came prepared for after the surgery so I can feel like myself. At least my doc said he takes the catheter out right away so I won’t have increased discomfort lol

Good luck on your surgery. Remember after surgery to Walk, Walk, Walk. It will help to keep the gas pain at bay. Also make sure they install a trapeze bar above your hospital bed. It will help you get up out of bed with less pain.

Good Luck all of you- Moondoggie all 4 paws pointing forward? Good, no more howling without,purpose at the moon, going to pray your surgery is so smooth. you won't have to whimper. They put collars sround dogs necks so they won't bite and chew at their wounds, do we have put a big plastic collar on you just below the chest? Maybe we should put mittens on your front paws?

[emoji23]. My paws are all ready to move forward and my tail is in the air from excitement! The better not put me in the Cons of Shame!!! [emoji23]

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
