  1. I would say I turned a corner between 4 and 5 weeks. The healing process can be exhausting!
  2. I have been doing spring yard work, I have 2 acres of "yard" so it keeps me busy and it sounds like we will have a solid week of no rain! Other than that, I am bored too. I have started a puzzle, a new book and a couple craft projects and I am still bored!
  3. Thanks for posting this! Lately I have been "learning" to dance on youtube! So many fun things to try out there and it doesn't feel like exercise! Have a great day!
  4. We are all in this together! I am afraid of gaining during all of this also! My husband is also home until at least April 30th, so I understand what you are going through lol!
  5. I have been trying to go off omeprozole and am afraid that my GERD will come back. I do get a little heartburn daily and have taken tums and that works, but I would rather not have to take anything!
  6. AJ, what is your business? I bet you would be a fun boss!
  7. I also had my surgery in September and my 6 month was also canceled. The way I understood was just a year, but I could be wrong I will have to ask if I ever get back in!
  8. We just found out last night that my husband is no longer considered "essential" I ask for prayers ?
  9. Yes, it is normal. My first were very black.
  10. Thought I would check in and see how everybody is holding up though this crisis. Luckily for me my husband is considered essential and still gets to work for 6 hours a day. I am also essential, but I only work one day a week. Hope everyone is doing alright! Take care!
  11. I have had 2 weight loss surgeries and have been successful losing weight with both. I only regained because my pouch developed a fistula, which allowed me to eat more, and I didn't realize why I was gaining. Most of the people that have nothing good to say about this surgery have not researched is as you have. They only know what they have heard or assumed to be correct. People are well intention ed, but also don't understand. You are doing this for you, not them. You want to be healthier and feel better and live a longer life and you can do so with this surgery. Also we are here for you to help in anyway we can! Hugs!
  12. I did start some seeds earlier this week. I have a 40 by 50 garden that in the past I have not been in good enough shape to work by myself. It sounds like a good day weather wise and I am going to go out and play in the dirt. Great idea!!!
  13. I haven't used anything on mine yet and they have really faded. The only one that is really noticeable is the one in my belly button, it is still really red. In the past I used Mederma also.
  14. I am 6 months out and had a skinny margarita a few times and I can feel it right away, and it goes away pretty quickly too.
  15. Caulipower brand is not bad.
  16. I had recently got into pod cast, and there are so many to choose from! I found a bunch through Pintrest and enjoy listening on my walks.
  17. Wow, I learned so much, thanks for explaining!
  18. After my first surgery in 1998 my stomach never quieted down, always had to have an after dinner conversation and I am finding it to be true after my bypass as well.
