Good to hear you're recovering quickly. I'm okay, had to cut back on my T-shots, levels were through the roof, and now I have to take a pill to reduce my estrogen levels. Glad to have the reduced injections, was getting a bit "testy", bad pun intended. Happy Mother's Day wishes to you!

Hello, thanks for the room on the loser's bench !! Yes it is going to be a bumpy ride I can tell already lol, But definately worth it, I am tired and sore but doing pretty good, it is hard to keep up with all the liquid intake but I am trying to drink as much as I can.Talk to ya soon and it will be nice to get to know you as well.

Hi and thanks for answering my post and wishing me well. The surgery went fine--great actually and I am 1 week post op. I was in surgery at this time last week. Off pain meds for two days now. Question about eating. My guide says I can have sugar free applesauce so I went to the store and got no sugar added - but when I got home I looked on the back and it has 11 g sugars. I shouldn't eat thta should I - or can I?? I'm confused. Thanks for your help. Jacque

hi MiladyB, thanks for addin me. i'm still pre-op. i've already been cleared for everything and have attended my first two dietitian app. and have met my surgeon. i begin a pre-op diet tomorrow by request of my dietitian and i go back for my final dietitian app. prior to surgery on may 23rd. at that time they will send everything to my insurance and i guess after they hear from them then they will set my surgery date. it's been forever doin all this and has been sooooo depressin. i was a smoker also and have been smoke-free for the most part since april 18th. oh and by request of my dietitian also i no longer drink diet d.p's! i knew i was gonna have to give them up but i didn't know i would before my surgery. but oh well i'm doin it and makin it fine and actually am really enjoyin water for probly the first time in my life. are you still pre-op also or have you had you surgery now? i look forward to chatin to everyone. oh another question i have is why is my picture not showin up yet? it shows on my profile but no one else's. do ya have any ideas what i might be doin wrong?
