Love the fresh face look

It feel Almost like the foamies!! Ughh. Maybe I should try plain baking soda? any other ideas??

Wow!!! What an accomplishment! I have not travel inside of a restaurant yet.

I put a piece of turkey bacon in a spinach Omlett. I had no problem with the turkey just couldnt get pass the egg taste / consistency.

Yep, that's the spot... Totally normal. Heating pad got me through.

It won't be easy, but hopefully we can all support and help each other. My husband eats more, smokes more and goes back and forth on his helpfulness since my surgery. I feel like I'm on a path towards health and happiness and my husband is going in the opposite direction.

If you call the insurance company they will mail you the requirements. (I use to work for Ins company)

Man in uniform Alert!!!

I'm sure I've already gotten enough advise. Im putting in extra prayers for you.

Congrats!! Hope to see some wedding pics!!!

My doctor told me to use cortisone after the 2nd week. Before 2 weeks you have to have doc chk to make sure no infection.

You look great! It seems like you have adjusted to surgery well.

Hey Erin, Look up a product called - http://www.toppik.com/

Hi Cutiepie, I was not eating more than 30 to 100 calories a day and not drinking more than 10oz of fluids. I felt like a zombie everyday and I could not function ( return to normal activities) and I slept a lot. Yes, I could hold food down but I could not force myself to eat. When I would smell food I just got nauseated. Then my urine turned brown - which was a sign of dehydration. I didn't know about the potassium issue but I got to the hospital just in time. My hands turned numb and I couldn't feel anything. I got over 10 bags of iv in the hospital and I have a lot of work to do today healthy.

Well I thought I was one of the lucky ones that would not experience voimiting, since I had made it through the first 3 weeks. Turns out, I was wrong! I've vomit twice tonight, but no food came up. Just foamy stuff. Anyone had this???

Thanks everyone!! I've gotten Iv's all night. My potassium was do low both of my hands turned white and went completely numb. I had to get blood drawn every 2 to 3 hours and I woke up to 3 bags for my iv - more potassium, Magnasium, and minerals. My surgeon will be by to see me today, I feel like I just got detention.

Dehydration - very dark urine, unable drink required amount of Water, tired and exhausted. I have to stay over night potassium is extremely low and the lack of Fluid has brought me another uti. Thanks everyone. Yes, this sucks for a Friday night!!!

When you start eating fruits - try peach, banana and apples. They were the easiest for me. strawberry and pineapple was too sweet.

Hi Hopeful, I feel the same way but after I talked to several people I noticed we are all going through the same thing. They say it takes about 3 months to get to normal.

What!!! 33 inch waist - thats Cra Cra (as the kids say!). You are doing such a good job! You know you hubby doesn't know the right stuff to stay so don't worry about it. That's what we r here for. Having a nutritionist doesn't mean you don't know how to eat. It just means you want to learn new or better things. We go to school to learn etc. So what things are you going to start eating?

Y r u getting it removed?

Keep up the great work!!!

The doctor gave me carafate, and told me to take Prilosec for 3 months. Hopefully it will help.

That's awesome!!!!
