    Re: How did you feel 6-7 months out?

    Re: How did you feel 6-7 months out?

    Re: How’s everyone doing 3 months post op?

    Thanks - keeping a food journal is a really good idea. I think I’ve ( inadvertantly) slowly been eating less protein so I’m actively upping my protein intake to see if it helps! Did the stalls stop...

    Re: Almost 2 weeks out...
