    The spending limits are $15-$25 and you send things that you have found helpful in your journey. This can be anything, it doesn't have to food.< /p>

    More Water and more food, I would suggest.
    Although I'm probably going to get flayed for this - but I get less dizzy spells if I have more Protein, more Water and dare I say it - carbohydrates...
    As with all these things that can be down to the individual; if you're sincerely worried about it, go and have a chat with your doctor.
    Sorry you feel awful and hope it gets better soon.

    starr1202 reacted to Lillydawn in One week after surgery   
    My nurse told me at my pre-surgery appointment that it is common to not lose weight the first week and some people even gain a little. She said some of the reasons are that they pump you full of fluids at the hospital and some people retain it, and also your body has gone through a shock with the surgery and needs time to adjust. Every body is different. She gave me an example of one woman who had gained two pounds at her first week appointment and than was down 22 lbs at her 2nd week appointment, having not done anything different.
    I am in my first week after surgery and have decided to stay off the scale this week and just focus on following all the post op instructions and healing. Take good care of yourself and everything will balance out!

    starr1202 reacted to M2G in I can't handle the puddle!   
    I wear the Flexees every single day. And while working out. Even though I'm typically a size L, I have to get size M on these for extra "help" in the midsection. Don't be afraid to get the smallest size possible and the BEST way to put these on is to STEP into them and pull them UP instead of over the head!!
