How do I find an angel? - I got an email from OH about getting ready for surgery. I'd like to have an angel but their instructions on finding one, and their explanation of the angel's role didn't make a ...

Pre op labs - I'm not sure if they do labs at the hospital or at the pre-op appointment. I just had labs done this week. My pre-op appointment is on the 19th, and surgery is on the 25th. ...

Isopure - I was wrong - Icy Orange is palatable. Gives me hope that there might be another flavor I can tolerate.

Ugh. You're right. - Isopure is pretty gross. I'm trying really hard to like it but I suspect it will be even worse post-op.

Bladder question - Did your bladder capacity increase after weight loss? I'm just amazed at how much comes out of people when I'm in the public restroom.

Surgery and TMJ? - I may have asked this before. I have TMJ and am a little worried about how the tube will affect it. I tell myself it won't matter because I'll be on pain meds afterward. If anyone ...

How do you take multiple pills? - I'm on a lot of pills right now. Someone commented the other day that it takes them an hour to take their pills. How long do you wait between each pill?

Low sugar yogurt? - What kind of greek yogurt do you get that's low in sugar? I can't find anything lower than 12g.

Can I give away opened Matrix Perfect Chocolate? N - If it's allowed, I'll give someone my 2-lb jug of Matrix Perfect Chocolate. I can't stand it, and my program requires pure whey isolate. This is a mixture of whey isolate, whey ...

It's my turn! - Got the call today. Surgery is set for June 25!

Better than a laxative. - ONE serving of sf candy and I'm running to the bathroom all night. I'm going to have to give the rest away. Happened to me this weekend, too, except I had two servings in one day. ...

Ugh. Notifications came and went. - Changed my settings in my gmail so it would stop sending OH to spam folder, which worked for a while, but now I'm back to not getting notifications.

I've never had surgery - So you're in the OR and they put you to sleep. Then what? Where do you wake up? Will someone put my glasses on so I can see?

How many used a shower chair? - I'm preparing for surgery, don't have a date yet. I'm wondering if I should buy a shower chair.

High from B12? - Pre op, took 1000mcg sublingual B12. Now I feel all dizzy and wooo... Not fun. Can this be from the B12 or am I just feeling weird?

Pre op accidentally bought sublingual B12 - They're 500mcg. Can I take two at once or should I space them out? I think I was taking 1200mcg pills before.

Pre op fiber - Had my first consult yesterday. They want me to start taking fiber 2-3 times a day. Is this going to make me run for the bathroom?

First consult tomorrow - What should I expect? I know I'll find out what clearances I'll need, then I'll meet with my advocate to get the insurance ready. Any suggestions on what to ask? I know so much...

My friend is worried - I have a friend (300 pounds, congestive heart failure) who is worried about how I'll act after surgery. She's afraid that I'll become healthy and then criticize her for staying the...
