Any good ideas for cooking eggplant?

i had a about 100 fever a few days after surgery. my doctor told me that anything over 101.5 is something to worry about. I would call and check in anyway.

that is really great. I have noticed the weight picking up this past week - totally exciting. You could always start week 2 and then stop and not run the entire minutes - build up to it and then repeat week 2?

I know we are still a month out but I was thinking we should share some recipes. I will go to my parents so the turkey is up to them but we all always contribute 1-2 sides. Last year I made breads and pies! ooops. I was thinking of some veggie thing - and a healthy dessert. One of my cousins is a veg. so we are always trying to include things that she can eat.

<p>I am going to do the first run of week 2 today (try) and see how it goes. I am doing a breast cancer walk tomorrow so I won't have time to go run (or energy) .. I am accepting the fact that I may not be able to do it.. I am still on liquids from the fill yesterday.</p> (edit) I actually did the week 2! My lungs were burning but managed all 6 intervals. The walking intervals are longer and that made it possible for me. My dog is loving this!

Depends on your insurance plan. I did not need a referral for mine and paid $250 for my entire hospital stay etc.

I just had my second fill and i could see on the xray really good restriction. Now, 3 hours later I have the tiniest hint of possible, could be heartburn. Am I being overly analytical? I think that I possibly now have over 8 cc in a VG band.

Hi - I don't know him but usually they review your health and tell you about the surgery. I met with the nutritionist the same day but alreaady had a letter from a therapist with me. I was very nervous but it was aa a breeze.

Thanks for answering. Yes, my second fill both with a fluoroscope and barium swallow. I am actually feeling a bit better tonight. I think I was really dumb to go right out and get a latte! I will be on liquids for two days and then mushy for one more day.

Hi which doctor and hospital. I am also from NY. I think it totally depends on the doctor. Mine just described surgery and discussed risks and benefits.

I did my third of three runs for week one this morning! Same problem with dog stopping to go to the bathroom! It felt fine. It was so early for me that I was kind of sleepy and that sort of helped. Now to decide if I am going to move on to week two this weekend? I am having a fill tomorrow and am supposed to do liquids for 2 days and mushies for one. Do you think I should hold off until sunday (mushy day) for my next run?

My scars are like that! How red and how raised?

Yeah I feel the same way but I agree with Ariel lets try and take a day off in between so that we are more likely to stick with it. It is nice to have something to look forward to that is so healthy right?

Is the running making anyone's port sore? Not major pain but sore!

You are my new running buddy! You were my motivation to start! Don't be discouraged becasue I need you and it is all about me! :heh:

I just did my second of the first week program. This time I went the other way around the loop in the park which turned out easier (uphill in the beggining and downhill at the end). I felt ok once i got started. Took my dog with me and she liked it but kept stopping to go to the bathroom! Got to figure out how to handle that better - she needs to get with the program!

I think I might just try to do the run. I am a little sore today so I went swimming. 35 minutes of laps. Still sore but ready for day #2 tomorrow! What kind of stretching are you guys doing? Are you doing any exercise on the in between days?

<p><p><p>There is a 4 mile run on New Years in Central Park (live in NYC). My brother thinks I could try to do it with him. That is 2 1/2 months away. Should I go for it? He says that I could totally just walk if I get tired. It is right before midnight, .are at the end. Sounds fun or am I setting myself up for failure and humiliation? The downside is my brother says it is very very cold!</p></p></p>

I just posted this on the other thread but I just finished my first week one. The podcast is great but the music makes me feel a little giggly. I thought I wouldnt make it but I did!

I just did my first week one. About half way through I really thought that I wasn't going to make all of the intervals but I did it. Mind you very very very SLOW. It is possible that I will have to repeat week one since I dont know how I will make it for longer than 60 seconds!

You won't stretch your pouch. It is good to drink liquids after surgery.

I hate to say it but I still, over two months later get the occasional shoulder pain. My primary care physician warned me that he has had patients dealing with the gas pains for up to a year after any kind of lap. surgery.

Try asking for soy bean paper instead of seaweed. It has been fine for me so far but who knows what will happen when i get my second fill. I sure hope that I can eat sushi!
