Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

Hi everyone! I havent posted in awhile. All that abdominal pain finally went away after 4 weeks, and I went back to work last Wednesday! I have stalled at 27lbs (5 weeks post op), but I am trying not to get frustrated. Any suggestions? I hope everyone is doing well!

Good to hear from you. We've had a lot of stalls around here. My nut suggested to me more natural carbs, fruits, veggies, etc. if you're getting your proteins and liquids in and still are at around a 400 cal day. Try upping your cals w those natural carbs. Working out? Still could be losing but gaining muscle. Won't reflect on the scale but will on the measurements. If you're not working out then add that in for a few days a week.

Well today I went to my lawyers to sign a petition to have the LA divorce thrown out due to it already pending in MI courts. Keep your fingers crossed for me, that the D is thrown out in LA. then I will have my lifetime medical coverage :-) Also he losses the so called leverage he has over me by bringing it all back to MI courts and let the judge eat him up for court shopping on another state. As well as for not abiding by the terms of the divorce petition in MI.

It's time for things to go your way, Gen. Good luck!

Gen you deserve this break. Hoping things work out the way you need them to.

Can someone tell me the symptoms you have experienced with a stricture. I started on Saturday it feels different when I eat and on Tuesday it feels almost impossible to eat. Any suggestions?

Try doing a search of the word stricture and see what threads come up. Sorry I'm no help.

Nicole I am just amazed! You are looking so good. I have not had time to read all the post I have missed but I am going to do that this afternoon.

Dr OZ said today, if you want to get rid of belly fat you gotta have low fat greek yogurt before each meal. Think I can do that how bout you?

I do not like Greek yogurt. Maybe I can get in a bite or two lol

I'm not sure if I could do it every meal/ every day. I have 1 Greek yogurt a day sometimes that feels really old. That is lunch everyday along w fruit. At dinner, I try to have a meat w veggies. Tomorrow making a big pot of turkey chili. Can't wait!!!

So as for the yogurt, I hope 1 a day helps!!!
