Carmen, prayers for peace and guidance are being lifted for you.

I order what I want and ask for 3 small to-go boxes when it is brought to the table. I divide the meal into fourths and put it into the boxes immediately. The waitress gives me funny looks, but it...

I had surgery exactly 2 weeks after I met with my surgeon and then 3 weeks recovery before I felt good enough to travel. I did not meet with a nutritionist until after surgery. I will say I have...

I think you handled the situation very well. Continue on, girl. You've got this. It will only get easier!!!

If he likes tea, I suggest decaf tea. It is all I drink now. Perfectly legal for sleeve patients. Praying you find answers soon!
