Was just reading an article on ThredUp, a site to buy/sell clothes & other items in good shape. I'll probably look at it once I get home from work, but was wondering if anyone here knows anything about the site.
Thanks!!

- I'd love to give the Fitbit a try to see how it stacks up against these, but I know I'd only end up returning it because it's not Water proof.
I had to laugh because just this weekend I accidently put my fitbit one (which I really like) through the washer & dryer. It came out fine and apparently a trip through the wash (both front load machines) is 7800 steps!!

I was told yesterday by my Dietician to get Chia or Flax seed keep me regular…I just picked some Flax seed up today…!!!
From what I read a long time ago, for the full effect, you need to grind Flax seeds, but you don't have to grind Chia seeds. I always used my coffee grinder for the Flax. I have a bag of Chia at home to try & wasn't really sure what to do with it - glad I found this thread!!

@BLERDgirl oh she listens! A dog hears you & comes running, a cat hears you & just doesn't care. LOL
My three cats are the same and sometimes I think the DH is getting in touch with his feline side too!!

Apples are good if you can have them - you may want to take the skin off, that is harder to digest. When I was 3 weeks, I found a lot of times that I thought I was hungry it was either gas/acid or I was actually thirsty and needed fluids. I would use a chewable GasX and if I still felt "hungry" I would start sipping more. Most times that would satisfy me.
Congrats on your progress so far & good luck!!

@Babbs Thank you for the Urban Dictionary definition - I needed that laugh while eating lunch! Reminds me of the joke we sometimes say...."That's it! I'm taking all of my toys out of the sandbox & going HOME" (in my best Joisey accent).
And before any one complains...I grew up in NJ

While I always had issues, like you the Constipation was truly horrible in the weeks after surgery. Thankfully, 8 months out it is not as frequent. I'm sure being able to add real foods has helped tremendously. The first few months after surgery I was mixing Miralax with my Protein shakes about every other day. If it was still bad, I would take a dose of MOM. My doctor said it was OK, but you should check with yours. The stool softeners didn't really work for me, but they have for others.
Now I buy a container of Vitafusion Fiber gummies at Sam's. I take 5 a day. That and being able to add veggies & fiber have made me near normal. Hang in there...hopefully with time you will be just fine too. I truly feel your pain & hope it corrects itself soon!!!

I was off for two weeks. Probably could have gone back sometime that second week if I had to, but was glad to have the extra time to rest/adjust.

I wish it was sinplier to change your weight on the ticker. I like to keep it up but you have to go through so many "next's", it gets old!

@Bufflehead thank you! I've donated a lot but still have a lot of work clothes that are too big. Some still have tags on them - so I may check them out for my newer stuff, shoes, etc
