  1. How do you find her recipes, everything is all over the place. I see a few, but are they all together somewhere? I am 5 weeks out and can try anything now, but have only stuck to turkey breast and chicken. I need some good recipes please. I am not an exotic cook, need simple recipes since I work long hours. I am not really craving anything either, but know I cannot live on chicken. Please help Thanks

I did not tell her till after I did it all she could say was I should not have done it and how beautiful I always look. this is coming from a 76 year old woman who plays tennis every day works out at curves and diets all the time. she is in good shape I have about 50 moren pounds to go. everyone else said how good I like she said she cannot notice any change it did not bother me just amused me. that is why I stayed with my daughter not my mother on a positive my two ex husbands were they were much friendlier then they have been all in all it was a great day. my ex husband has got to weigh about 400lbs I did tell him about the surgery he said he was not interested didn't push the issue Sent from my SPH-D700 using VST

  16. has anyone gone bald . I know alot of people on here think it is silly to worry about hair loss when we are gaining back control of our lives and health, but I am one of those people who is kind of concerned about losing my hair. I know there is nothing I can do to stop it, but I am wondering how much hair I will lose. My Dr. said since I have alot of hair, probably I will be the only one that notices. Hope that is the case
  17. I just got out of it. I don't think there is anything you can do but have patience. I lost 4lbs over the weekend. I know there are more stalls coming from what I have read, but I figure if I am doing everything I am supposed to "this too shall pass". Hang in there
  18. i had major foot surgery in sept .i had a torn tendon and did not know i walked on it too long and by the time i went to the orthopedic specialist i needed surgery. he had to rebuild my foot i had no arch due to the tear. thank god my surgeon was the best and was able to give me an arch the problem is my foot is fused i can walk but can not move my foot side to side so i am not sure what exercise i can do . I know I can do weights but no zumba I think I am afraid to hurt it again. it was the most painful surgery I ever gone through really out was the only one my dr said every nerve was inflamed. the sleeve was a walk in the park. my question is any suggestions of what I can do. Sent from my SPH-D700 using VST
  19. yes you can be empathic to your clts i am a mental health therapist and i was thinking i would like to work with people who have either had or are thinking of having surgery. my dr thought it was a great idea since most of the nut and therapists you meet with prior to surgery have not gone through this experience.
