I know its bogus. But if it cuts too much into his video game time he gets so mad. He's too much of a mommas boy.

Sounds like you need a MAN. You definitely deserve better and now is when you need more help. Thank god I'm single honestly.

He's bigger than I am and I think once I start losing weight its going to cause us to part...which I'm ok with. He provides most of the money right now because he works ft and I only work pt. But my plan for while I'm off work is to find another job

If its an option, living with your mom might be an idea. She might be better to take care of you.and it will give you more motivation to getting your body hot as you will be dating soon. This combined with the less stress you'll have dealing with him, it might be overall better for you.

I hope you find something fast then. Good luck girl!

Well hello ladies and gents! I was an October surgery but now I got my date today and its next Wednesday so I get to join the September crew!

Welcome. Good luck

I don't know if thats normal I am a nurse but have no special info on this stiff except what we all know, but I have had that bulge too. Mine seems to be more to the right of it but above a steri stripped site. Makes my stomach look like lopsided. I have been worrying about it and I put lots of cold packs on the area, mainly bc it helps with incisional pain but also thinking the bulge is from swelling. I don't seem to have any plumbing issues as I can eat, drink, and get rid of it. But the drains purpose was to eliminate fluid buildup that happens during the healing process. I think its ok unless you feel its hurting too much or causing you the inability to eat and digest. Although I know you were having nausea so I hoped you asked the doc about getting zofran as its a little chewable and very effective. My concerns for myself is that it feels like I keep swallowing air when I drink water. I don't use a straw but almost every time I have that gas bubble feeling then a burp that like crawls out of my stomach. No puking yet though!
