Omg that is the funniest thing I've ever read. Thanks for the laugh.

I hate going to the grocery store, nothing tastes good. Things I loved before surgery now I can't stand. Good in a way cuz a lot of my favs got me to 247. I'm ruining out of things to try to eat. I just had a little roast beast sandwich meat with a pickle and it was gagnacious. I'm 7 weeks out. Did any one else go thru this?

I too am not getting enough water in. Its so hard! I did love water preop in fact that and 1%milk was all I drank, no coffee, tea or sodas or juice. Now I cant stomach water and milk forgetaboutit. I know Im borderline dehydrated. I do most of my liquids in am, I start with a P shake and then sip on water all thru my work day but when I get home, I just dont feel like it. I lnow I have to do better but I cant right now. Im 7 wks post op, plz tell me it gets better, way better.

Its also better to be safe than sorry. About 2 weeks after surgery, I was having discomfort in my rt calf it was tender to the touch also. I called my surgeons office to let them know and they made arrangements for Me to go to hosp to have a doppler scan. They don't Mess around when It comes to B.C. luckily I didn't have one, it was prob a pulled muscle or something but I was scared shitless as well. I felt like a dork but the Dr said its better to have Peace of mind.

I ordered some jeans from a catalog and I was an 18/20 so I ordered a 16. 16 is way too baggy, wow! A 14 ifs next woo hoo

Mstrata, could you possibly post an example of what you eat? Im 2 days past you but only down 37/38 lbs.( no pre op diet) thanks

Down 37 I just weighed myself and I gained a pound. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

That dish with chic, tomatoes and spin sounds good.

I was craving Corned beef and cabbage and usually make it for St Pats day. I made one today in my c rock pot and it was huge. My hubby and son do not like It so I have gobs left over. It was good but only a few bites and its way salty for me. Maybe ill take it to work.

There is a place here in Md called Gentlemen Jims and it has the best pizza I've ever tasted. I've been hooked since 1995. I think for my birthday in July I'm gonna get a small pizza from then. That should be plenty of time, 7 mos out. All this pizza talk is making me want one although Sleevie Wonder couldnt handle It lol

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MONTHS? Veronica?

Omg, I cant believe someones friend would say, Great, nowI will be the fattest person in the group? Who the hell are some of these " Friends"? I am older so I dont surround myself with shallow people. I have a few friends but tbey are all loving and uplifting. I could never be friends with anyone who is jealous of me. I guess its a 40`s thing. Everyone is supportive of me. You gotta cut people who dont have your best inyerests.

You will wear the bootsthe whole time your in hosp. They detach when you get up to potty or walk. Try not to worry. I know its easier said than done but you will be okay guys.

They will give you Teds to wear on hosp and to take home.

Heaviness had nothing to do with it. When its your time its gonna happen. I bet he walked and food everything right.

You go boy ( man) !!!!

I don't know where the word byte came from dang Swype.

Byte was indeed a fellow patient. Wow, Im truly sad.

How long is it until your in the clear for blood clots?

OMG, he died where I had my surgery, which means he prob had surgery there too and maybe we had the same surgeon. Wow God bless his soul. I'm sad, and he was a firefighter, and so young. Rip sweet man!
