Husband refuses to drop me off or pick me up from the hospital. Now what?

Is there a close friend or pastor you could ask? I understand what you are going through though. Praying God opens that door to your husband's heart. Health is so important.

I did with a hiatal hernia repair on 11/30. Went very well. Only soreness was the incision where he pulled out the stomach. Stayed sore for a couple of weeks.

Ordered from Amazon and having one for breakfast. I give it a 9 out of 10.

Boost Glucose Control Chocolate, Ensure Max Protein, or Fairlife 30grams. I have found that powders are not for me.

Yesterday I tossed two leftovers. I was raised not to waste food but when I thought about saving it it would make me a little queasy. I am only 36 days out so barely in Phase 4. I'm not into cooking much so easier the better.

Hi. I had the band surgery May 2010 and it only worked for a couple of years. So after gaining my weight back, about 65#, primary doctor suggested sleeve. Went through all the steps last year for my date 11/21/2019. However, surgeon had difficulty removing band and port due to severe scar tissue. Still didn't get hiatal hernia repair either. Gained back pre-surgery weight as required, started process again that April with Dietitian but after 3 months canceled due to weight gain, then in August lost 33 lbs using Optavia program by mid-November and set date Nov 30th. Since then I've lost another 19#. Well worth it.

Thank you.

I had mine Nov 30th along with hiatal hernia repair and all went well. No hesitation as I had to try again after an attempt on Oct 21, 2019. Surgeon had a very difficult time taking out my Gastric Band and port due to extensive scar tissue.

Thanks everyone. I'm in it to lose it!

I'm 4 wks out and only 4 oz 3 x a day. No issues so probably try the whole 11oz this weekend.

I guess I left something out......it needs to be hot. He said ice tea loses some of the important properties needed. I started drinking 10oz a day plus at least one 16.9oz bottle of water.

That's why we all need to read the nutritional labels carefully.
