I am sorry that your husband is not supportive. I think you need to ask a friend or a close family member to drop you off and pick you up.

Eat prunes or take Benefiber, it really works.

That would be really hard for me since I drink at least 4 cups of coffee a day.

Missing in action, I know. I know. Missing our days when we were really rocking and rolling our new outfits!

That day will come again. Finally got out of my PJ's for four house sale showings yesterday. Selling by owner - perhaps, the right offer and buyer right around the corner?!

Like mirror mirror on the floor whose the fairest buyer of them all... ;]

You look really good

My day’s worth of food at work. I had already drank a Protein Soup and ate about a 1/3 of the rice dish I packed.

The rice dish is made of- duxelles, ground beef, way too much kale, a bag of frozen mix vegetables, a random jar of chicken gravy, half a stick of butter and the remnants of a box of instant rice from the back of the cupboard. The kids and my sister topped theirs with cheese but I wasn’t brave enough to try.

I probably won’t the rest of the cucumbers I packed (have eaten 3-4 so far) because one got stuck and gave me the foamies. 😞

Ill post a picture when I get home of what I have left/ate instead as an update.

Edit- added a copy of the total count for everything for the day.

That's nice, thanks for posting this.

always happens, but weight loss will start again

I've read that you can eat any fresh fruit as long as you are only eating one serving.

I heard that anxiety is normal for people who will undergo surgery, did she push thru with her surgery?

So after surgery, you are not allowed to have chocolates? even the sugar-free ones?

are there really foods that you can never eat again?

I always wear a mask whenever I go out and always observe social distancing.

I think it is almost everyone's fear, including me. It's really nice to read all your experiences and advice on this.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, it would really be a big help to a lot of people here in this forum including me who have yet to decide on whether to have the surgery or not

in my opinion, it's safer to stay away from hospitals for now especially if it's non-essential.

Is there some kind of ointment that you can use?

That is also my fear, haven't had my surgery yet.

Shapewear would be good
