I did hcg drop last year and it did work, but it left me with 4 periods in 1 month.- Pain :(
Yes, the weird burn sensation - the hot poker is the pain that throws me for a loop!- Omg The Pain
I found the pain to be more than I was expecting when I got home. I was just completely miserable. I had to take pain meds daily. I'm on day 11 or 12 and i still can't sit up for long periods of time. But it does not hurt as bad to laugh, so something is healing.- Eating

I'm still having a hard time with drinking / finding a protein shake. I remember I use to love smoothie king - skinny (no sugar) options. Has anyone tried that?- Two Weeks Post-Op!
I can't eat anything outside of jello, soup, Popsicle. I have no Idea how long I live on this without the protein.- How Are You Handling Clothes?
I think a good thread would be to exchange clothes! I would love to get rid of my clothes to someone who could really use them once I start really using. My bra size is impossible to find and expensive do I'm hoping in the next few months I can get rid of those as well. I would buy some on my clothes on eBay!!!- Pain Issues
The pain is unbelievable! Have you tried my best fried - heating pad?- Omg The Pain
I never had a baby - but did have a 3rd degree burn. The actual burn pain was worst but it was in a localize area, this surgery make your entire inside hurts and puts you out for days and week. I didn't realize how your stomach controls your turning, coughing, sneezing, breathing, laughing etc. I'm on day 8 or 9 and the pain amount has gone down, but when it comes it's horrible!!- Acne
I have roscea and it's in super over active mode! What is going on?- Water Water Everywhere...
I find the taste of ice (especially tiny crushed kind from zaxby - like the hospital) to taste much better than water.- Starting Over!

I'm on day 7 and the mention of the word (protein) makes me gag.- Hungry. 2 Days Post Op
