  1. Try and walk to get it moving... That usually helps But if you feel best laying down you should still be ok... Liquid tends to work it's way out easily Try and remember to wait in between drinks/swallows to see how you feel
  2. Praying for your husband! Let us know when he is out from surgery. It is so hard being the one waiting... (Hugs to you)
  3. I would do it if you have time. It's a good precaution and if not used then you donated blood for someone who might ... Win/Win
  4. I'm so sorry. What tests are they doing? Besides the ultrasound
  5. Oh definitely wipes lol The leak test liquid did me in It was horrible Do not trust a fart I was mortified Doesn't happen to everyone but when it's you, you just want to jump out the window lol
  6. Lots and lots and lots of Water Easier said than done, I know Try your very best
  7. It only gets worse Better to find your "cure" now Chia seeds, prunes, fiber gummies
  8. Mmmmmmm bar b q sauce Couldn't do my grilled chicken without it
  9. Noooooooo lol I was hoping in a year my neck skin would tighten up. Say it isn't so Someone has to invent something quick!
  10. The crushed pills are horrid. I had to mix them with a little apple sauce to keep them down. I hope you get well soon!!!
  11. Yay May sleevers woohoo Best wishes!!!
  12. My body still hurt three weeks out. I think I was 6 weeks out before I started to feel better but then I had to get back my stamina from so much down time.
  13. Amen!
  14. Well one thing is for sure, everyone thinks their way of thinking is right.
  15. Thank you! I am so looking forward to that day as well... For all of us
  16. Oh Sannah that is wonderful news!!!!! I'm a so happy for you!!!!! I'm doing the happy dance with you! I might even keep it going for about 30 minutes and consider it my cardio for the day Try not to worry if you can only do a few tiny bites at first. I was in awe at how little I could get in... Just plan to spend some time getting that yummy nutrition in your body!! Woohoo!!!
  17. Sometimes a laxative needs a little help like an enema or suppository especially when your having problems like "cement feces" It's a very serious thing and yes no one likes discussing it but here I believe we all have suffered and its a real concern. I really really advise to use an enema or suppository so you can get things moving out. Then start taking a regular stool softener of some sort
  18. Ahh yes Dean you are so right! It is a tangled web i have created... I originally wanted only my mom and immediate family to know but after just one family reunion, that I didn't attend, everyone knew because some one let it slip lol I do worry about my lies coming back to haunt me and yes sometimes I wish it was easier and I had been honest and just dealt with it then but I didn't ... So this story will be continued... (Scary music plays) As for other people asking I sometimes tell them and have conversations about it etc but there are times when I'm in a crowded hair salon and my hair dresser asks oh how have you done it and all eyes are on me and I lie... I say it's been hard and try and change the subject. I guess I am uncommitted in my decision to tell or not to tell. I suppose it makes me selfish at times, idk, I just do what I do at the time.
