I'm post op day 5 now and I have taken my zyrtec (antihistamine) only once! I forgot one day and then that day I had NO symptoms of environmental allergies. I'm quite allergic to cats, dogs, dust, dust mites etc. I have a little dog. I've only sneezed

Well, I gotta question for you guys! I've found many people (10 plus) who quest

I know there are several of us out there! Let us know how you're doing if you've had it all ready! Get pumped if you are in your preop diet!

GO GO GO!!! Yaaaaaa! 

I know everyone is different and so is each surgeon...but how soon were you able to start vigorous exercise (more than just walking)? Right now I do have the ability to exercise vigorously (for short amounts of time...like I could run for 1 minute...ve

Suggestions on your favorite apps for weightloss, tracking, exercise, recipes...etc!

PS--My mom got me a fitbit for my birthday/Christmas...but I don't have it yet. I"ll get it the day before my surgery!

My Birthday is the day after surgery. My roommate will be gone and most of my friends due to the Holidays. My family is over 1000 miles away. My dad will be here to take care of me (he's a nurse :) ). Thoughts on what to do--I can't eat cake--obviously

On my preop diet and trying to be serious about the protein shake requirements. I am allowed to add a few healthy ingredients (very limited fruit). However, when I add them to my NEW ninja nutribullet thing (Black Friday Deal!), it doubles in volume du
