Veruca Salt

I found your post to be very open and mad to not infringe on anyone else's beliefs. I too do not look to any kind of hgher power. I have a nephew who is gong to college to be a minister. That is great for him but that does not give him the right to jam it down my throat. He also leans to much on my mother (and she does not have a pot to piss in). If he needs financial help why does he not ask his higher power. I am not saying I am the only one out there but, if there was a higher power why was life so hard on me, who appericates everything people do or say. A simple "you can do it, I believe in you" goes so far with me. Still life is one huge struggle. While you have people out there just sitting home not working, complaining that their goverment handout is not enough. and get the world handed to them. If there was a "god" why would I never get a push up. Here I am getting off track. If there was something or someone higher than us why is there suck horrible things happening to innocent childern. Where is he for them.

Beach lover - Did your Uncle do anything for you when he hit it? I would buy an RV travel in the states, Buy a nice home on a lot of acres. Donate some to animal shelters (have to look at them close) I am not their to pay someone else's salary. I would buy thigns for it, NO CASH!!!!! I would set my mother up with her own little house with room for the biggest garden ever. I would not help my sister because she nevered helped herself. Pay for any neices and nephews who want to go to college. I guess over all just be happy. I would not invest anything into this country right now.

Just don't over due it. I am almost 90 days out and they still consider my surgery new.

I love it, now this is the kind of porn I don't mind hearing about.

The only thing you can do is walk walk walk. I know it sound dumb but that is all that it is going to help you. Good luck to you. we have all been there.

Even tho it can be taken, it should be taken for a short amount of time. The more you take it the bigger the risk of comlications with it.

You sound like you are right on tract. As long as you stay with the new life style you will get the rewards we all have gotten. It is call major weight loss. Good Luck to you and cant wait to see pics.

Nothing you said shows your marriage is going down the tubes. Like most men they do not talk about their feeling. He could be just getting use to the "New You". If you do find the marriage is over then you need to evaluate if it will change thing to go to therapy. He maybe the kind of man who is attracted to big women. You would be the one who knows him best. Work on yourself and in the mean time try and talk to him slowly, don't push. Hit him up a little at a time or he will clam right up. Good luck to you, I wish you the best.

If I was you I would go to your doctors office in the morning. You are down to the wire and if not paid, you are they will not do your surgery. Good luck to you.

This is going to sound a little stupid but did you try drinks at room tempature?

Here is some advice I can give you. Eat off small plates (cake plates) this is a mind game when you see the plate is full. Put your fork completely down between bites. When you don't feel empty and more stop eating and you can eat somemore later. Try little bites of things to see if it still agrees with you or that you even like the taste of it. Use a table spoon when serving out your plate. Alcohol. hummm, I just tried it for the first time and what I had would have been a gulp for anyone else but it too me all day until I gave up on it. I hope this helps you and good luck.

I would just not mention it. They are going to ask you all sorts of questions like after the surgery would you try and kill yourself or others. If after you should have any negitive feeling I would speak to your shrink about it. She is intake nurse. If they ask you how you plan to fill your time without eating I said I play computer games. If you have any questions about your mental state go ask you shink they know you best.

It i loud but there is no smell. If you try and hold it in you will be in pain. Better you than me. ha ha ha

Well, what is the question??????????

No other probelms other than the nausea. I am just ready to cry.

This is something I would definately bring up to your surgeon. I would say to start full water intake.This does not sound good expecially since you have not even got to the surgery yet? Good luck to you.

I would tell you to take a sip of a soda. I would bet you will never want another sip again.

I don't see a problem why you can not have them now. Make sure you chew them fully.

I hate to say it but the only thing to work is walk walk walk. I would have someone pat me hard on the back (like burping a baby) I felt it helped. Also look into gas x strips. I did not use them but others swear of them.

I have found that this site has been a blessing. I can always find someone with the answer and the support is overwhelming. No Judging.

What you hav is a Jackson Pratt drain. I it based on the use of gravity. Using the compressed bulb to pull enough to all the fluids to drain out. If you think about it is a very cool invention. The body always carries bacteria within itself. I bulb is just there to get the excess drainage out. Some surgeons believe that there is no need for it since the body already carries bacteria, other use it as a precaution incase the bacteria starts to grow out of control (very rare). It is usually taken out before you leave the hospital (mine was in for 3 months). This is also another way for them to tell if there is leaks from your surgery. Just keep it clean all will go well.
