  1. I know our pain medication choices are limited; I was given liquid Tylenol after surgery. It does help with minor headaches, but right now, I'm suffering from excrutiating toothache pain. What do you guys do for pain from such things as sinus headaches? back pain? toothaches?... Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!...
  2. Cod liver oil pills...are they small? Because we really can't take pills. My doctor told me to start Omega 3 but said I should pierce them. Is that what you do with the cod liver oil pills?
  3. I don't know you but I am proud of you! You go girl!!!
  4. Not see the fat me when I look into a mirror.
  5. Aubrie, don't give up and hang in there.
  6. Thanks to all of you, I appreciate the responses & advice. I am 3 months post op and I noticed significant loss about 2 weeks ago!
  7. Ok...I understand that hair loss is part of the process but...come on now! Can I lose it all? It's all over the place. I'm almost afraid to comb/brush my hair! Don't get me wrong... I am totally loving losing the pounds but do I wanna be thin and bald too? No offense to those who have lost their hair for other reasons. It's not that I am vain..just a little scared. Feel like a boob.
  8. Be proud to walk into my husband's office during working hours to pick him up for lunch...and NOT wait in the car because I don't want to embarass him. He could care less, but I do. One of his co-workers is getting married in September and I will certainly make that a goal marker too.
  9. Having my belly be smaller than my butt!
  10. My neck. I had one as a child but it began disappearing while I was pregnant.
  11. ...because every time I drop another peice of my wardrobe onto the I-can't-fit-it-anymore-and never-will-again pile I feel FANTASTIC!!!
  12. Urso Forte...ewwwwww!!!!!!!!!! I crush it, put in in a small medicine cup of very lukewarm water and drink it like it's a shot glass and voila! nasty medicine down..till next time.
  13. OMG! What a great thread. I came here tonight specifically for this same reason. MY pile for "too big for me now" clothes keeps growing. Part of me is afraid to get rid of them. Another part of me says "don't look back, girl!" I'll probably take them to a homeless shelter. Oh my...poor us....what a problem to have...huh?..lol
  14. Big Momma-thanks. Cuz I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and have noticed in the last few days that type of pain when I rise up after laying down on my left side. You have given me SUCH a sense of relief!
  15. Looking forward to WANTING to wear fashionable clothes..no more elastic waste pants and big tops to cover my belly and butt. Looking forward to having even MORE energy than I have already noticed in myself! Some days I just can't stop myself, my family is still trying to figure it out. LOL
