Just wondering if anyone here hates protein shakes but is still able to get in enough protein without them? I worry that I will either hate the shakes or get tired of them. ( I don't know since tastes may change after surgery), but wanted to know that IF that happens…

The big thing I've waited for, a surgery date in mid-October, and now I have the biggest case of nerves you can imagine. Did anyone else have this happen? My stomach is literally doing flip flops and I can't concentrate. I can't take 3.5 weeks of this! Help!

Question ladies! Did you lose sensation in your tummy area after your TT or FDL? What about your pubic area? If so, did sensation come back? I am scared to lose any sensation!

I can't seem to find the energy to accomplish anything lately. I just feel tired and uggggh! (My poor house shows it too.) But then when it comes time to turn in for the night, I am wide awake and tossing and turning. I stopped taking my anxiety medication thinking…

I made a lasagna last night with palmini “lasagna noodlesâ€. The sauce I got was awful but I’ll be making my own from here on out. I used daiya and violife cheese and chicken and zucchini filling. It says you just have to rinse the noodles but says you can…

Time sure goes by fast! I celebrated 5 years post op last month. Don't let anyone kid you, once the weight is off is when the HARD WORK BEGINS. I am still very thankful I've lost weight, but I spend most of my energy on keeping it off. 2 years…

I'm ready to make it happen! I've been working towards this since my first surgery and I'm finally in a place where it's time. Tummy tuck to remove that excess skin, breast lift to put those girls back in their original location and the neck tightening!

New member here. I've not had weight loss surgery, though I've been interested, as I'm morbidly obese. However, I've been battling iron deficient anemia for about 6 months. My questions are, did anyone experience this pre-op and is this a pretty common problem post - op? I'm worried I won't…
