Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
At 293 it looks so impossible, but then losing close to 50 pounds looked impossible also. If I can lose another? 120 pounds my dream might come true.?

Family bad-talking weightloss sugury
Not nice people but then uninf4ormed or misinformed usually are. Mom, did you ever ask,her how she felt? Maybe she,felt the trade-off was okay to continue living. Perhaps her doctor told her she was close to dying, viewing your own mortality does that to people. And I might need to follow her also myself and if I do I would like you to respect my decision and be supportive. And you could eat potato chips but it might be that satisfied me, I no longe4vwould be eating an entire bag watching TV. And you can go to resturants, but you will go for the friendships and conversation, not to see who can cram the most food in the fadtest. And most people would prefer smooth tender meat over chewing the hind leg off a goat. Just a few ideas in case the subject comes up again, and from your report it probably will!

Pain after stricture dilation
And it did not, Dr Noria also found ulceration down there and on back wall of my jejunem. So now on Carafate every 6 hours- 6am- Noon-6pm-Midnight, upped my Omeprazole to 2x daily, told me to maintain same diet, using the term loosely for my puny liquids and October 26th we try again, maybe swelling/ulceration, whatever stopped her before has subsided and,she can move ahead with dialating me, Ellie123 had hers done on the past Monday, she felt so much like a brand-new woman she was able,to take a business trip to the UK. I WANT THAT!

Go hiking, walk instead of driving somewhere. Go to concerts, do you share musical tastes? Go fishing or something he enjoys and hopefully he will reciprocate. If not , YOU TRIED!

Let's Play a Game! Can Anyone Here Comforably and Routinely Eat Per Meal More Than 4oz of Dense Protein By Weight After Surgery? How Far Out Are You If So?
If you came to my own world it would be "Who else do you know at 7 weeks is STILL on a liquid diet?" my co-sufferer,got her stricture dialated and is off in the UK. She is finding out the truth of the 69s song " London Rock like a Pendulum Do!" Want her to come home safe and sound so we can text again!

Why liquids only?
You got carved up? I think mine only threw knivers or a scalpel or 2. Maybe I should be glad he didn't carve or tattoo BJN next to my navel. Come to think of it, he and Tomkitten have the same initals, maybe that's why the 2 of them got along so well! PCP started putting" Morbid Obesity" on. Tomkitten's visit summeries He asked "Does THIS mean I got to visit Dr Needleman also?" Told him " not until you are emotionally ready for all that ensues!" At its very nicest, it does rock and shake up YOUR personal ? WORLD!

8 weeks post surgery still nautious
well just woke up and taking inventory. Nausea, nope don't think so yet. Went and got some 15 calorie lemonaid, took Azo and Ditropan for cranky spasing bladder, Zofran to calm tummy down so I don't ge5 chest pain from vomiting, Wellbutrin so I don't start swinging from the curtain rods , maybe I'll watch Flea Market Flip, I l8ke Lara Spencer and I like how they turn junk into "junque" and sell it for a big profit! Does make you think NYC people are lushes, they sell a disproportinate amount of wine carts! Maybe they're bought for other uses. Lips are cracked, when I was a little Frustr8 I was told that meant insufficent fluids. Yeah once upon a time I wasn't 290 pounds, in fact unti puberty reared its ugly hormone-riddled head on was merely,on the high side of the growth plateau, just looked tall for my age but approximated "normal" But a,lot,of water under the bridge, 3 tornados, floods and a dorecho, notwithstanding. When I was a Girl Scout, back before we all had to be political-correct, offend no one we had a musical pre-food Grace God has created a new day- Silver and green and gold- Live that the sunset may find us - Worthy His Gift,to hold. And have a shiny new Sunday, get enough fluid, adequate protein and just enough calories you don't topple over from light-headed. And keep your weight loss so smooth, you never stall! ????

Clear liquids.....I hate broth
peppermint can be rough on a healing stomach, look at the first half of the name, my gastroenterologist banned me from it because of ulcers . He and my godmother should have a mixed martial arts battle, bless her ?, she gave it to me for tummy upsets.
