MrsPierre~ Does Sonic sell that ice? I had that in the hosp and it was nice for crunching.

bigsleeve, whatever do you mean? are you suggesting I go on a Vicodin summer holiday?

Hmm.. I feel like I'm the only one who would absolutely love my family to leave me alone. I mean.. Really alone. Not just when I lock myself in the bathroom and pretend I'm actually using the toilet' date=' or when I say I'm going to the grocery store and never leave the drive way because it's so peaceful all by myself. .. etc[/quote']

Laughing as I am reading this in the car pretending I am not home yet!

I can relate! Found that ice has become my best friend now. I get the little sonic ice and it helps as I watch tv or feel the "need" to chew. Also, I've noticed that each day the hunger gets less as the acids in my tummy regulate.

I totally understand your vent. If it helps just think soon you will be able to eat. Stay strong.

Mrs Pierre, your headband rocks.

TakingBack, this is the perfect time for some spiritual growth. God loves each and every one of His children, but would also like us to take care of the body that He lent us for this earthly life. Hmmm... do I really believe that 100%? Not always, but I'm kind of religious, and pretty spiritual, and I feel like this is a dialogue that I have with God, often...Now, is it a dialogue if I'm the only one talking....I think so...I'm sure God does sometimes answer us, albeit indirectly.

Maybe the next 5 days are a time to reflect on your relationship with the Eternal...or maybe find some Bible passages about being healthy, or taking care of our bodies...or even try 1 Samuel 16:7, which just makes ya feel good:

For [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

Be strong, be strong, & may you be strengthened.

Things are normal! That is something I think most folks wanted to do. I had a major meltdown 6 days post op. Just hang in there. It will get better!

I am almost 16 weeks out now and life has been great since about 6! I promise it will get better!

First I understand how you feel. Many of us can testify that we went through the same stage. I was mad for about two weeks with tears. I fussed at my entire family. It gets way better. But Yes he does need to be more helpful. Maybe some one else can help. In the beginning some do need to be there. And call your physician immediately if you feel sick like chest pain Short of Breath fever or seem like something is not right. We are here for you too and will be more than helpful.

Wishing you the best of Luck

It gets better! Hang in there!

[takingbackcontrol 137]

Thanks everybody:) I've calmed down and prayed through it, I think it's probably a good thing to be alone for a few days. Need to put on my big girl granny panties and move forward.

Had some restaurant egg drop Soup for dinner without even thinking of a Protein shake and I've adjusted my attitude. So nice to be able to hear affirmations from those who have been there, thank you.

This community is such a blessing:)

Book the longest massage you can afford or get a little package (check groupon!) and go every other day they're gone. It's very therapeutic and will help release a lot of toxins in your body. Next best think to a Calgon moment and spares a lot of violence :-)

You remind me of my Mom. You are so funny

[diana89131 258]

Ok this made me laugh. I wish my hubby would take a trip with the kids. That would be heaven. I have 3 small kids. A girl can dream lol

[cejiogu 182]

Funny my first week home my brave sister came out to stay for a week. She then saw that I have more then one job. The 24/7 mother job. I am lucky my oldest is twenty and my youngest is 12 but my 15 year old is autistic. They 24/7 job that never goes away. She helped big time and the kids were good but she had to go home and rest from all the usual mother stuff. And mind you my 15 year old is not the one that demands the most time. The regular other two are the ones that you ask them to do something and its why or I will do it later and the golden why can u do it? Forgetting that you can hardly move. I loved the fact the kids went to school so I had the house to myself for part of the day. I am a single mom with an ex who returned to his country for a visit and it has been 5 years. So he is no help.

God Bless Prayers!!
