  1. I bought the papaya enzymes and they work like magic !!!!'
  2. I will be getting some papaya enzymes just in case !!!! Thank you very much for the info !!!!
  3. Anyone else get something stuck and suffer with pain for several hours ????
  4. That could be what happened...... I may have not chewed well enough and a piece got stuck... Not sure but pain was intense .
  5. Surgeon said my gallbladder is in good shape . He even put me on gallbladder meds for 3 months to prevent the development of gallstones .. I am suspicious it is either something else or maybe what it is I am eating . I don't know all I know is that it takes my breath away it hurts soooo bad.
  6. Size 12 for me would be ideal
  7. Does anyone else get pain around their sternum area after eating??? I am 6 weeks post op and certain foods make me double over in pain at the sternum area and I feel like my chest is being crushed !!!! Anyone else deal with this same type of pain ???? Seems I can really only tolerate liquids or cream soup without getting the pain .
  8. Good luck to you !!!! I am curious..... What caused you to gain most of your weight back ???
  9. Yes !!!! I have been saying this for a while.... My husband disagrees but I think I do .....
  10. The hospital should supply you one if they don't, ask them for one as all hospitals carry the binders
  11. Yes you will be fine !!! Good luck !!!
  12. Good luck!!!! I know it seems like forever!!!!!
  13. Your body can only process 30 grams of Protein at a time so you are wasting the other 22.
  14. I guess I probably should have mentioned that my tea is decaf. It's Bigelow brand that they sell at Walmart in the little boxes. I am extremely fond of the lemon/ginger and the mint. Mmmmmmm !!
  15. If I were in that situation, I wouldn't tell them . For me, I felt it best to only tell people who I knew we're gonna be supportive of me only!!! It made me feel better going into surgery that way and I am so glad I did
  16. It took about a week from my submission to blue cross blue shield to approval !!
  17. Cd off does come from long term antibiotic use
  18. I was an avid coffee drinker prior to surgery..... Now I can't drink it. I drink hot tea instead. My surgeon said that coffee can irritate our pouches.
