I switched taking my acid reducer from morning to evening and I always try to have a few bites of something before bed. That helps! :)

Hey Peggy! Yes, it will get better promise!!! Sip slowly and you will be surprised how much you will get in.

I'm in pretty much of a rut with food but it is working for me so... :)

Breakfast is a protein smoothie with 30g. protein powder, milk and fruit or sometimes it is a green smoothie. Or, most...

The first week I could move to pureed foods, I did a shake for breakfast, refried beans for lunch and cottage cheese for supper. I kept it simple so that the new tummy could adjust. I used Syntrax...

There is a Nioxin shampoo set that I have seen at my hair dressers that some people say works. I just take a biotin tablet every morning and so far, so good!

I had to crush and swallow meds right after surgery. What worked for me was to get a good pill crusher, get the particles as small as possible, put them on a big spoon. add fruit juice (I used...

Seriously, don't let a few rude people keep you from something that is really a great resource. Ignore them. Block them. They aren't worth the time or effort to acknowledge.

This forum has been a...

Hi Peggy!!! 6 weeks out and it will go away soon. Just keep sipping the water and moving around as much as you can. Glad to see you again!!

In a pinch, I used it to clean a toilet so yeah...ugh!!!

I LOVE Shelly. She has such great ideas and recipes!!!

Get used to the funny noises. Sleeve Nicks made a rumbling sound early on that was a cross between a bath tub draining and a garbage disposal shutting down! Perfectly normal! :)

I have a friend that works at Mayo and she was just telling me about this. She is about 50 pounds overweight and is considering having this done. It is a very interesting idea.

Doctor: New Weight...

I agree. I would call your surgeon's office and let them know what is going on. There is medicine that will help with the spasms (a friend had to take it for about a month after her surgery). Good...

I added Greek yogurt, lunch meats, hummus, sf pudding with protein powder added, creamy soups put through the blender, applesauce, mashed banana, peaches and pears from the can in addition to eggs,...

Week one I was on broth, water and jello. No calorie goals, only water goals. By the end of the week, I was up to 64 oz.

I was on two different BP medications before surgery. I am three weeks out and off both medications. At my doctor's appointment on Friday, my BP was 110/70. Best it has been in years!!! :)

I was able to move to cottage cheese, eggs and refried beans the second week after surgery. The first week was broth, jello and water. I can't say that I was hungry but the "food" was definitely not...

I sipped the Tylenol for the first couple of days. It depends on how much you are taking. Just take it slow and you'll know how best to sip it :)

9 days post op I had moved to eggs, refried beans and cottage cheese. If those are on your list, you will have to chew the egg and the cottage cheese. On day 7 I wanted to dive into a meatloaf and...

I like the suggestion about being on the cancellation list. Is there someone that could come and stay with you for a week? I didn't need any help but with the surgery and a baby, I bet you will....

I had plantar fasciitis really bad in my right foot. I started out with water aerobics and then worked into riding the bike. I tried the bike first but it pulled my foot wrong. In the water, I was...

Those sound delicious!!!

Quest bars are the bomb diggity! Can't wait until I can have them again. SO many yummy flavors. My NUT also recommended them.

I had delauded on the pain pump in the hospital and Lortab (Liquid vicodin) at home.

I am using Unjury. I like it because it isn't too sweet. I've tried so many samples of so many protein isolates but this one really has stuck with me. I have the chocolate splendor, vanilla and...
