From research I have seen online, the Protein in seman is equivalent to an egg.

Once cleared, I plan on training for next years Avon Breast Cancer Walk in San Francisco. 33.9 miles. I did it in 2009 (while weighing280lbs) and since then have had surgery on both knees and now my RNY. I can't wait to feel the difference when I don't have so much to carry with me.

I was sleeping on my stomach after five days. I was very gentle when it came to rolling over but I couldn't help it, I would roll over in my sleep.< /p>

I went thru the "WTF did I do to myself?" As well after surgery. I was expecting to not be hungry, I always felt hungry. My doc had me on mush, I hate mushy stuff. Everyone around me was eating real food and I was in mourning that I wouldn't be able to eat again. I am now 11 Weeks out. I feel amazing. I can eat real food. The WTF's have passed and I am honestly able to say I am proud of myself for doing this, taking care of myself, putting me first. The hard moments are few and far between. Hang in there! This place is full of support and a great place to vent during those moments. Wishing you great success!

Try steaming cauliflower till its very soft and blend that like you would mashed potatoes. Tastes almost the same, sat better in my pouch than potatoes.

Boy is it good to know I am not the only one who felt this way. My family and friends do everything over food. I spent a lot of time with my mom, sister and her family right after I had surgery so they could help with my daughter. There I was, feeling hungry all the time, stuck on liquids. They ate lots of my favorite things and the smells were so intense that many times I excused myself to the bathroom and cried. I loved to eat, my sister and I both love to cook together, I mourned for those times thinking I would have to give them up. I'm now almost three months out, I can't eat everything I used to, but it's so doable now. My sister and I cook, and I get my tiny plate and have bites of everything and i'm good. I can sit with friends at a restaurant and we share dishes now and everyone gets to try different things. My depression has lifted and the benefits of this surgery have made a huge impact on my life. I am sure your husband deploying is triggering many emotions for you in this already difficult adjustment time after surgery. When he comes back, you will have had time to adjust to the surgery and will be able to Celebrate his return with great energy! This room is chock full of support for you. Come in and keep us posted. You and your husband are in my prayers.

So, I get a call for a motorcycle accident yesterday. We got on scene and it was down this hill anyway, to make a log story short I carried my pt up this hill on a backboard, I did all my cares and when I got back I went up the 5 flights of stairs to get to our sleeping quarters and nothing hurt! Not my knees nothing!! Best of all I could speak in full sentences at the wreck after carrying this pt and at the top of the stairs!!
I ant leave out the funny, so at the top of the hill, my freaking belt buckle popped out of the hole and I looked like a punk kid with my pants down to almost the bottom of my ass while I stand bow legged holding the gurney trying to get it into the back of the ambulance!
Anyway, this was huge for me because I am already seeing positive changes for a better me for myself and the communities I serve. Just needed to share this because for me, this was huge. Thanks for listening to yet another David rant lol
