Thanks!

Surgery was May 30, 2012. I feel like it takes a long time to digest most things. :/

Hi Everyone ~ I was wondering how long it takes you, on average, to digest things? I feel like my stomach stays (physically) full for hours & hours. Is this normal? Thank you!

It's wanted to let everyone know that vitacost.com (a great, inexpensive site for Vitamins, etc) is having a big BOGO sale.

Anybody have any tips for retraining the brain? I've found myself falling back to my "old" way of thinking this week. It's upsetting to find yourself there ~ any tips that worked for you would be much appreciated!

Thanks Jen ~ I have noticed that since being post op (and therefor drinking lots more water) the foot doesn't get nearly as bad as it was. I was thinking my lymph system was busy sending fluid elsewhere to help me heal as well. It's nice to finally have the foot under control. My little ones literally call it my 'Fred Flintstone foot'! Not so Flintstone post op.

Congrats! It gets better! Have you tried chewable vitamins? Still tough, but I found them easier than swallowing a whole pill.

My doctor took me off my water pill 6 weeks pre-surgery and won't let me take them now. He said they can make you dehydrated and you're already fighting to stay hydrated & nourished. I took hydrochlorothiazide for lymphedema in my right foot (got a staph infection four years ago from a pedicure).

Just wanted to let everyone know of a cheaper place to get Vitamins & supplements. My Doc told me about vitacost (Vitacost.com) and I ordered all of my vitamins for a smidge over $56 with free shipping. Hope this helps someone.

Unjury Chicken broth was a lifesaver for me. 8 ounces of soup = 21g of protein. You have to order it at unjury.com. Good luck!

Thank you!

I was wondering if anyone has used Gas-Ex to help with the Foamies?
