  1. I am glad that popcorn works for most. I can't wait to try it. But I am sitting here drinking my liquids while my family is eating Chinese. I would love anything right now besides liquids.
  2. I would check into the pain with your doctor first as I had my surgery on the 21st and am not in any pain. Have you been active since the surgery? I guess with 7 kids, I am probably more active than most after surgery but that helps a lot. This was a major surgery and you and your body needs to recoup. I am not much for pain meds but I made sure I took the good prescribed stuff a few times a day after surgery so that I could sleep really well. I think your body can heal well while you are sleeping but needs to be active also. Don't feel guilty- do what your body needs until it is healed.
  3. OK this may be a stupid question- I apoligize for it right away. I noticed during sex last night that my stomach is really tender where the port is. I checked and it is not where the incisions are healing but where the port is. I am a week and a half out and they are doing really good. I am now about 250 so I have a stomach on me that will eventually go away but I am wondering if my port will always be noticable during sex. I know this procedure will work but I in the back of my mind I am afraid that the weight will come back just like all the other times that I have gone down in weight, It always finds me back again.
  4. I would love to get to be sugar free. Why does it taste so darn good!!!!
  5. I had hiccups some after surgery. They were painful. I found that if I took deep breaths it seemed to go away. My problem was that I wasn't using all of my lung capacity in the hospital and they said if I didn't, I could get Pneumonia. I couldn't tell I wasn't breathing deeply. I had to do deep breaths 10 times for 6 times a day and try to get my breaths bigger each time.
  6. I bought the flintstones with Iron. What is the difference or the benefits of the Choline?
  7. I was told anything chewable except gummies. My nutritionist said that they don't work as well. I also like the Viactive but would also like to try the generic versions if they are cheaper. How many Flintstones does one need to take?
  8. I think I figured out how to add people and added everyone also.
  9. I have another week of liquids. I could have killed to have a pork chop that I was cooking for my family yesterday. Crockpots are very handy but note to self- Do not use when I am home to smell it!!!! I can't wait to eat something more normal.
  10. I was also wondering how they can fix a slip. I never knew that but then again I am still on lovely liquids. I get nauseous just thinking of another protein shake. My first doctor visit is tomorrow. I hope it never happens again to any of us.
  11. I just signed up- Newsusan. Although I am only on liquids right now also.
  12. I am 7 days out now and had some Chobani Greek Yogurt for breakfast. I can do the pineapple but not many other flavors yet as I am used to the super sweet regular yogurt. I have never liked the Carnation Instant breakfast but have been having 2 of them a day for a week with a scoop of protein powder. YUCK. The only way I can stomach it is to blend it with ice. I am going to start branching to Yogurt once a day. It has 13 grams of protein!!!! I am also going to start buying the milk with added protein when I go shopping today.
