  1. Yes it does. I really want to get back to normal. Ride my motorcycle and work full days. I want to work out. This is not fun.
  2. So here is the diagnoses. I have a pocket of fluid between the repair and hernia site. But that will absorb itself. He said i have trapped nerves and gave shots (5) in my tummy in the spots that the pain starts in snd should numb it out all the way around.... Not sure if we got the right nerves on the left but tge right is better. Its a steriod mixed with a long acting anaesthetic. I can get the shots 3 more times only.
  3. Mine said something about shots in my tummy and stuff. I'm at dr now waiting fot ct. Snd drinking the contrast. Yuck... I will know something by the end of the day

  12. I appreciate the honesty. I too smoked for 30 years snd quit the morning of my surgery. I did start vaping instead. I am on the lowest nicotine level and hope to be at zero eventually. I did take a puff off a cig snd it burned my throat and tasted terrible after 7 weeks... Still off them but still want one all the time.
  13. Anyone else have left lower back/side pain? I have screws from some complications during my bypass... Anyway feels like a nerve is being ripped when i move. But its also in my back... Help been 5 weeks now. My surgery was 6/30/15. 2 week stall now. Lost 46lbs up the stall.
  14. Spettijo... I feel uour pain. I have been really down too. Lots of complications and regret. The pain is tooo much sometimes. I've list a lot of weight but just feel reslly down.
  15. Sounds great. I'm on it. Got my fingers crossed. Tonight is going to be potatoes. I need to feel normal....
  16. Amazing... Whats in your egg salad. What kind of icecream? I am starting these things now. I need food.... I loved taco bell.
  17. I am trying some new stuff now. I hope it works out. I hate this. I tried eggs and it was not good...
  18. I want real food... Not a shake or pudding but real food. A taste of mac n cheese or shrimp... A snack of the salty variety or anything. Help me... I'm depressed still and need meds i know. But right now i just want food. What can i do
  19. I use premier protien and still get that yucky taste in my mouth after... But drink it anyway.
  20. To much plant protien from shakes. Need animal protien from milk eggs cheese... I talked to my dr about it. My mouth tastes terrible from it. It has helped a lot.
  21. I just talked to my dr about this... I had mine 6/30. The taste in my mouth is terrible because of to much plant protien from shakes. Need animal protien. Milk cheese eggs... Also vitamin deficiency.
  22. I am a vape queen. I gave up cigarettes the day of surgery after 30 years too. I love vaping and it gets me through the torture of recovery. Unless you have a dog in this fight you should really save your comments to things you know about.
