I second the reacher thing for the floor. They have them for a dollar at rural king.

it doesn't itch, just redness every where

I am having an allergic reaction to something not sure what. But my arms and stomach and chest are covered in red botches. Not sure why, I haven't been doing anything today but sitting here, haven't tried any new meds...this is freaking crazy.

when i was doing weight watchers, I used to take a tub of light or fat free cool whip can't remember which one, and freeze it. It tasted like a vanilla ice cream. You could add flavorings like the flavorings for drinks to it before you froze it. They make sugar free vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, etc....

I had complications after my surgery and require some testing tomorrow. I happened to look at the script for the ct scan, and on it says I had the sleeve done!! I clearly stated bypass. I went in thinking I had the bypass. Now I'm wondering what they did. The day of surgery, my doctor said sleeve and I said no I am a bypass patient. He said oh I see that now. I still have my other part of my stomach. I am really hoping this is an error on the script.

They said they made a mistake on the order, but I never got to see the CT.

I'm 2 weeks post op and started pureed foods. Today I ate 3/4 of a cup of pureed campbell's soup and still didn't get the full feeling..what gives?

So when I asked they took the script and changed it. I think during my appt later I will ask to see the ct

I have the centrum chewables..orange...tastes blah

I'm really starting to wonder if maybe that is why I can eat more.

is anyone else tired of all the pills?

meatlovers pizza sounds good

so far I'm having no issues with lifting him. I try to keep him away from my boo boo. It's mainly getting him out of the crib. I kind of have 0 motivation today. The idea of even making a protein shake makes me tired lol. I might go make some cookies for my child, only because I can turn the oven on and I am pretty cold today. I'm starting to wonder how big my pouch is. I pureed a cup of soup and never did I get full. I prob ate 3/4 of cup of it. Maybe because it was pureed?

The soup was very bland

yep, clear liquids, puree, then soft foods....

are you lifting over 10 pounds yet? I've picked my son up a couple of times out of necessity. He's 25 lbs.

I just started pureed foods, and my surgery was on the 16th. So far I have tried; egg, swiss cheese, applesauce, canned chicken with light mayo and salsa. I bought a can of the chunky soup that has potatoes and beef. I'm going to puree that and try it.

you and me both

I'm eating applesauce right now, not sure if my tummy likes it or not.

well....now I had pain on my left side. Turns out I had a very big clot and my stomach (not my pouch) was infected. I ended up back in the hospital for 3 days. My only symptom was pain. He said if I had waited, my stomach could of swelled out my abdomen. So you take that with what you will. If your in pain go to the er or call the nurse on duty.
