    Finally, finally, finally got a date!

    I didn't broadcast what I was doing either, I told my family and a few friends and my boss. A good boss will keep your medical information confidential and if yours isn't that trustworthy, well, there is not much you can do about it. I reckoned I would keep him in the loop would avoid issues...

    Post Op Problems

    I didn't have problems with my surgery but I know several people who had bleeding problems like yours. They are not at all that uncommon, a missed stitch or a slight slip of the knife. It happens and is correctable when caught in time, like yours. The risks for surgery are not zero as was...

    Need help.

    Your perception of how much food you need really is the issue here, it took awhile for my eyes and my brain to catchup with my stomach. It got much easier after that.

    Lactose intolerance

    Eggs, ground beef, lean pork, turkey, chicken and fish. For me some fish proteins are to firm i.e. tuna steak or halibut. The softer fish protein like sole, pacific cod and salmon work best for me. Lobster is great.

Hard proteins were the worst, stick to soft protein wedge cheese and cottage are a good ones, for me cheese in general works well...

    Butt Scan

    Had my colonoscopy today; the results were inconclusive, they found several small polyps which the doctor removed but nothing that would cause blood loss, which is a relief, thank God. So they will want to do an endoscopy and put a camera down my small intestine. I would they rather wait and see...

    workouts gone wrong

    Magnesium and or salt and dehydration would be my best guess for the cramping, also it has a big effect on nerve and heart beat function too. Most people don't get enough in my humble opinion. Nose bleed can come from dry conditioned air or high blood pressure, maybe you are over doing the...

    Started liquid diet today

    When you have your surgery you won't be able to ingest anything very fast. Get used to taking your time, its good practice. What's the rush take your time and enjoy.

    Headache Heck (with 2 Ls)

    I took it in stages during the first phase of losing weight to get a surgery date I went through a 3 lb bag of half cafe coffee and then went to full de cafe. I have been caffeine free ever since and jitter free. The reason for losing the caffeine is reduce the acid in the stomach, but I find...
