    I really wanted a sandwich today! Turkey and cheese … hero/sub/hoagie (what are they called where you live?)

    You are amazing! I am still very interested in this budget or prepping blog. I need the inspiration as I just tossed half of a container of organic spring mix that my family swore they wanted. 🙄

    Car Sick

    My car idles rough also because I need to replace the motor mounts but I’m waiting until next month when it rains less so I can do a bunch of maintenance in one day. But to answer your real question, only very early on did I get nauseated from sudden movements and it did eventually go away. Until then, ginger really does help.

    Severe Stomach pain

    It could be any number of things related or unrelated to your surgery so definitely get seen sooner than later. What helps figure it out quicker is knowing exactly where the pain is, so be clear when being evaluated. Below you can find videos on abdominal pain (Disclaimer: I really don’t recommend self diagnosis because it’s a slippery slope to self treatment so these are just to help you inform your doctor better.)

    Feeling frustrated and demoralized

    It’s so soon after surgery that you are surely still feeling the effects of fluid retention and inflammation. Also weight loss will be the easiest the the first 12 months post op (not the first 3 days) so don’t lose hope. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/weight-gain-after-surgery https://www.stylecraze.com/articles/main-reasons-for-weight-gain-after-surgery/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5389231/

  19. Early on I measured by volume (1/8 cup etc), later by weight (3 oz of protein) and now by sight (palm of my hand). I think it’s easier by volume in the beginning because you can estimate how much food can comfortably “fit” when you aren’t necessarily worried about calories. But weighing helps when it comes to protein estimation when you reach the solid food stage. Good luck!

    GLP-1s

    Ha! No. I often wonder why certain people were singled or coupled and honestly there’s no rhyme or reason to it. However, romance films suggest that your soulmate is probably trying to find you but your schedules are opposite, live in a different part of the world or don’t speak the same language.
