  5. So...Im a student and just transferred. My new school has a gym where membership is included with tuition. I have a 2 hr break in between some classes and was considering restarting C25K. I LOVE running outside but i don't have time this semester. What is the difference? Is it just as good?
  6. I shared with another bariatric patient. The floor was for people specifically recovering from stomach and intestinal surgeries. I didnt hear any vomiting though. We were given quite a bit of anti nausea medication.

  8. Yes but there are a lot of alternatives. Im 1 year post OP and still cant eat most breads (thin slice sprouted wheat is the only one really.) Cauliflower pizza is off the hook, healthier, and wont mess you up lol.
  9. I started smoking again about two months after. No edibles as most are sugar filled (although I had mints that were ok.) I was starting to get hooked on oxy methinks so....

  11. We have one opening up soon. What is it about? I mean like...what makes it different than any other gym? To be honest I thought it was a juicing place at first [emoji23]
  12. I dont have an obgyn assigned since pregnancy but yeah let me know! Never heard of non hormonal pill
  13. Did you just ask for a blood specialist or were you referred? Sometimes requesting a specialist is a nightmare through my medical group ugh
  14. I heard of some problems with Essure. My husband got a vasectomy instead but I'd get it if it meant I could be free from anemia
  15. I haven't had an increase in flow. It's my normal flow and I'm struggling with iron. I don't want any more kids. In fact my husband had a vasectomy. I hated being pregnant with a passion lol.
  16. I can't do anything with hormones my oncologist says and the copper IUD doesn't help with periods [emoji17]
  17.    Frustr8 reacted to a post in a topic: Aunt flo is killing me! Any advice?
  18. Like seriously! Pre surgery I was an avid blood donor. Now I'm constantly on the verge of needing a transfusion. I take around 90mg iron. I cant take birth control because of liver problems. I was thinking uterine ablation or something to help lighten it. Any advice?

  20. Good or bad I drank something I didn't recall being carbonated and vomited shortly after. So if you're gonna do it, I say at home where you're comfy just in case
  21. I'm 9 months out and can only eat Dave's Killer thin slice sprouted grain.

  23. How do they work? I mean be a shirt and compress the belly?
  24. I had jeggings but I guess I lost enough weight to make them just pants lol. Then again loose skin wasn't an issue when I bought them
