Kelly, how did the melatonin work? -  Did you sleep? Any weird dreams?

Restaurant booths are getting bigger. -  The people I was meeting had already sat at a booth. The distance between the table and back of the seat was the usual 31/2 inches. No way. I sucked it in.  I wormed in. I was f...

Where's that cartoon? -  It was so perfect! I meant to save it, but didn't.  That Lean Cuisine really filled me up, said nobody ever. Can you direct me back to it? Thanks!

TMI even for me: WTH is that thing? - Here's a revelation I didn't really want:     My upper abdomen is still swollen, but what little weight I've lost has come off my lower belly. I know this because I was lying in...

Fluids--I am, too, educable. -  After 6 weeks of moaning about not being able to get 64 oz of fluids in, I found a solution. (no pun intended) Old habits die hard. I've always loved, craved even, iced Crystal...

Yet Another Calcium vs. Iron Question -  Unless I alter the fabric of time, or change my biological clock (equally difficult) I can't keep my Ca and iron two+ hours apart. The problem is my multiple vitamin has 5 mg o...

Protein Drinks: Food or Fluid? -  I'm trying to wait at least one hour after eating before drinking, and at least half an hour after drinking before eating. It's hard to get all the fluids in with those restric...

Technical Help Wanted -  I've read all the so-called Help pages and can't find how to add to the info under my avatar or next to my ticker. I just want to insert my surgery date.  I love and appreciate...

There and Back Again-- RNY April 6 and Home! - Finally, Original Stomach is enjoying a well-earned retirement. She served me well and went above and beyond the call of duty more often than any stomach should have to, and never ...

Tomorrow's the day! -  My replumbing is tomorrow at eight o'clock. Send happy healing waves my way if you think of it. Thank you!   

Clear Liquid Diet PreOp: violates Geneva Conventio -  This sucker violates all kinds of humanitarian protocols. Are they kidding? If protein is so important, why am I going two days preop, and an unspecified number of days postop,...

Vitamin Schedule -  Would anyone care to share their vitamin schedule? I'm finalllllllly scheduled for surgery--in two weeks! Talk about hurry up and wait!  I've been to the preop classes and read m...

hellooo out there .... I'm hungry! -  Hi, folks, This forum looks pretty deserted, but I thought I'd ask anyway. I have lost and regained the same six pounds for a year and a half. Unfortunately, it's the six po...

Ibuprofen is allowed on the sleeve, but apparently if you have an...

Any writers here? -  Hi! I'm still presurgery. Longest wait ever! While I'm struggling to lose the required weight (and how much of a  catch 22 is that?!?), I'm trying to finish my novel in progre...
