    Abdominal Pain.

    Went to the emergency room Saturday night, with severe abdominal pain. Could not stand up straight. I thought it might be an internal hernia or a twisted section of intestines. I had a cat scan and blood work, everything is normal. The Dr thought it might be a "Peri-umbilical Hernia" but was not...

    NSA, Non-Scale-Victories

    This has been an incredible week so far. Where to start. On Tuesday evening at our regular bi-weekly support group, I was asked if I would be the spokesperson for the Dr. Office and speak to people about WLS at Health Fairs in the area. I said that I'd love to, then came the bonus, they said...

    A couple of questions...

    I have a couple of questions: 1. I am having a problem with my jaw locking, almost like its coming out of the socket. This happened once before, while I was trying Atkins, years ago.

    Troubles in Paradise,

    Ok, now that I have your attention. I am not good at reaching out when I'm having problems, I've always viewed it as a failure within myself, strangely I always thought that when others asked for help, it was a sign of real strength. Anyway, I celebrated 6 months post op last Wednesday and I'm...

    Transition to Pureed foods

    Hi there, I've been doing very well, until this week. I am now supposed to eat pureed and soft foods. I am having trouble finding anything to eat. First off the sizes are so small that I can't see making things like mashed potatoes or refried beans. I don't have anything with which to puree...

    I'm a noob, 3 days after surgery.

    Hi everyone, I had Gastric By-Pass surgery on Wednesday afternoon and am now sitting at home, trying to figure things out. At my largest I hit 393, though the qualifiying process for surgery required I lose some weight. I managed to lose about 16 pounds over 6 months. Once the surgery was...
