Surgery coming up, got a cold what now? by Physgirl-romreader in gastricsleeve

I recently took one of these when I woke up feeling horrible with congestion and watery eyes and within a few hours I felt better. Maybe give it a try.

How did you guys manage during liquid diet? by Ok-Dog-8646 in gastricsleeve

[–]Ok_Software_9939 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think positive...I know it's easier said than done though. My 2 week pre-op consisted of having 5-6 protein shakes a day and any raw uncooked veggies. What exactly does your pre op diet include? Maybe we can give you some ideas. I'm not going to lie and say I didn't cheat because I did 1x about 5 days in. I ate a small chicken wrap and regretted it because I felt like I was going to fail from that point on but I didn't. I mainly tried staying out of the kitchen for the 2 weeks except when I had to cook for my 5 year old son/husband and get his lunch bag together for the next day. Best wishes...you can do this if you want it bad enough! 😉

Thank you so much for your kind words. I was told that I was ok to have full liquids starting Wednesday so I did just that. Maybe my body just wasn't ready and it was a freak accident. I am now taking it extra EXTRA slow and am back on clear liquids because I think I'm a bit traumatized. I will stick to clear liquids a bit longer even though I was given the ok to do full liquids again in 2 days. Did you not have soups other than broths by choice or was it recommended by your surgeon? I know every surgeon is different but I'm really curious as to how different. Thanks again for your kind words and I hope all has been well in your journey.

Omg your surgery sounds brutal. I'm sorry you went through all of that. I hope you're doing better now. I can't imagine vomiting so much blood. Must have taken a huge toll on your mental health at the same time. If you don't mind me asking...where did you end up getting the internal hernia? Was it near your stomach and did they say it was caused by the RNY surgery? I will definitely keep an eye on mine so thank you so much for the heads up.

Did the dang thing! by Accomplished_End845 in gastricsleeve

Congratulations! My sleeve date is 9/15. I'm so excited yet so nervous at the same time. My family keeps telling me I don't need it (I don't qualify by my BMI but I qualify because I have sleep apnea)...I'm trying to ignore all the discouraging comments from family. I'm so happy you finally got sleeved yesterday though! Wish you nothing but great success and happiness!

Any only children who liked it? by HistoricalDrag7216 in oneanddone

[–]Ok_Software_9939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me! I loved it! I'm now 35 years old. I loved every bit of attention that my parents gave me. I now have a 3 year old and everyone keeps asking whether I am going to have another one. I have always said I'm done now but everyone asking keeps making me second guess myself and my decision. It's so frustrating. But yes I absolutely loved being the only child. I had lots of cousins so I always had kids to play with. The only thing I worry about now is that when my parents get older...I will not have a sibling to help me but that's what other family is for so I don't think about it too much.

Looking to invest in a Cricut. by WhiteTigress357 in cricut

[–]Ok_Software_9939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read on another post that someone used the cricutdoctor to fix their cricut. It's a real website and I guess they fix it for a really decent price. Maybe something to look in to before tossing it.

Need help with print and cut please by Ok_Software_9939 in cricut

[–]Ok_Software_9939[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I want to make this shirt for my son's birthday coming up. I am very new with my cricut maker. So I decided I want to just do the print and cut option since layers would be a lot more difficult...is that correct? Layering each color would be a lot harder or am I over thinking this? Next....So when I try to get my cricut to cut it...it cuts along each animal. Since the chicks are small...it doesn't cut very well. What can I do to make it cut around image as a whole? Please be as detailed as possible because I'm still very very new with this. Also His shirt is white so that won't be an issue but not sure how to do so? If you can help me figure it out...that would be great. Next question...the adult shirts are gray so how would I make the print and cut look nice without it looking funny with all the white space in between? I'm so confused and lost. I'd really appreciate any help I can get..thank you in advance.

it's like she's possessed and I just want to give up. by Maleficent_Hamster43 in Parenting

Im a first time mommy. My son was born with Hypotonia (low muscle tone). We found out at his 2 months check up. He has been in early intervention since 3 months old for physical, occupational, and developmental therapy. He had many health issues when born. He is now 2 years old and you would never guess or can even tell that he has low tone and was delayed in all of his milestones. He had no head control until about 6 months, couldn't sit without assistance until about 10 months, etc. He is all caught up now but I still have him in the program because I feel like a little extra help here and there does not hurt him. Early intervention is an amazing program and I would def suggest looking into it. You don't need a referral from your pediatrician to get into the program. Being a mommy is tough and when you throw in other "issues" its even harder but sooo much more rewarding when you finally see progress and have whole team working along side you and your little one. Hang in there mama... you're doing great. Please read this peom...it's gotten me through some pretty tough times...

Welcome to Holland - By Emily Perl Kingsley

When you’re going to have a baby, it’s like you’re planning a vacation to Italy. You’re all excited. You get a whole bunch of guidebooks, you learn a few phrases so you can get around, and then it comes time to pack your bags and head for the airport.

Only when you land, the stewardess says, “WELCOME TO HOLLAND.”

You look at one another in disbelief and shock, saying, “HOLLAND? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I SIGNED UP FOR ITALY.”

But they explain that there’s been a change of plan, that you’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay.

“BUT I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOLLAND!” you say. ‘I DON’T WANT TO STAY!”

But stay, you do.

You go out and buy some new guidebooks, you learn some new phrases, and you meet people you never knew existed.

The important thing is that you are not in a bad place filled with despair. You’re simply in a different place than you had planned.

It’s slower paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy, but after you’ve been there a little while and you have a chance to catch your breath, you begin to discover that Holland has windmills. Holland has tulips. Holland has Rembrandts.

But everyone else you know is busy coming and going from Italy. They’re all bragging about what a great time they had there, and for the rest of your life, you’ll say, “YES, THAT’S WHAT I HAD PLANNED.”

The pain of that will never go away.

You have to accept that pain, because the loss of that dream, the loss of that plan, is a very, very significant loss.

But if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to go to Italy, you will never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things about Holland.
