Thank you, repair the Stricture REALLY opened me up... knock on wood. I think it’s been slowly closing up over time as I would eat and feel beltchy and gassy and quite awful, but I thought it’s just the way things are post surgery. Well... apparently not...

Prayers your way dear Frust8, you've waited so long for this and I just hate you are having such a hard time! The good news is your scoped showed it's the ulcers acting up. So there is a plan that if you follow, should get you fixed. Would have been more frust8ing if they could not find a reason you are having these symptoms. Hang in there and prayers for you!

Hey... do I count??

My surgery date 9-28, right on the cusp of what would be considered summer or fall...

[Megan Sadler 186]

Hey Ellie! Hope all is well. Frust8 good luck on your thing too!

I’m down to 207.6!!!! I have been this low since 2012!!! And I was on some crazy diet and diet pills to get this low!! (Basically a super concentrated caffeine pill, was eating nothing for Breakfast but an apple and Water, lunch and dinner were freezer meals that were low cal and supposedly healthy and I was doing Zumba every day for an hour and I still couldn’t break the into the 100’s)

I noticed some loose skin yesterday and it threw me off I knew it was coming but omg it’s terrible!! I’m going to up my water intake and run oils on my skin and add weights in. I ran out of my 9 round trial :( sad. So I downloaded p90 and am starting that today.

Kind of scared of the lose skin.

[Frustr8 7,886]

Yeah Kara you count on my Book and also in YLime the lady who started Summer 2018 Surgery check in here and this one. She is a super nice,lady, as I hope everyone on here ism We are just brimming with💖for all our friends.

Megen lose skin is what I an full of. I wish I could do something about it all, not being able to walk very much makes a difference in what kind of exercise I can do. I really wanted to join a gym except that all of the ones here in Oklahoma are not really user friendly or affordable. I keep hearing about one at work that I guess I am just going to have to go and check out.

Just thought I’d share my breakfast this morning there were 2 eggs, 1 quarter of an avocado, 3 strips bacon and a handful of blackberries (yummy) I’m sharing it with my toddler and husband since I can’t eat that much. I had 1/2 an egg, one strip bacon, a few berries and my avocado.

Look on Craigslist in the "Free" section for fitness equipment. I just picked up a treadmill last Friday. I also got a stationary bike over the summer and some free weights.

Hey worth a try. After all*** nothing ventured*** Nothing Gained!

Hey gang! Just chugging along over here, and 4 lbs away from 50lbs!!! It hasn’t even been three months 🙌🙌. Has anyone tried kodiak flapjacks? I typically am not eating anything with white flour and sticking to very clean, but heard this is a great alternative?
