GAH! It wouldn't let me post the link so I put a space between "flintland. & blogspot.ca"

 Haven't made it yet! I cut up the veggies this morning (got the zucchini yesterday during lunch at a farmer's market across from work) so I can just throw everything on the stove when I get home. It doesn't really take all that long to make, about 45 mins give or take. If you'd like, I can give you the recipe :)

 So awesome!! Congrats! :)

 If I were you, I'd eat at home before the game. It's not as fun, but 1.) it's cheaper and 2.) you'll still be full and won't be tempted by other unhealthier options on the menu. 

Like another poster said, take a baggie with turkey pepperoni or jerky or 1/4 oz of pork skins to snack on in case you DO get hungry. Most of all, just have fun at the game!

I started my period the day of surgery! It was so embarrassing. The nurse and nurse's aide were helping me out of bed so I could walk around and I was like "I started my period". The nurse was sweet and helped me put on my undies and a pad. The male nurse's aide changed my bedding and brought me a new gown. I was mortified but they made me feel better.

My parents had gone home to rest after I was out of surgery but knocked out, so I called my mom and was like "BRING ME PADS!!" lol.


My cycles have always been inconsistent. I just started my period on Saturday. Sunday, I had HORRIBLE cramps. I hadn't had cramps like that since high school. I broke out into a cold sweat, I was nauseated. Plus, I've been bleeding very, very heavily (which is a pain but also has me slightly worried...I never bleed this much). I'm just chaulking it up to my body/hormones freaking out from everything it's been through, though.

 I wasn't told not to shave, so I did it the night before. I was only told to wash myself with antibacterial bodywash. However, follow your doctor's orders, no matter how trivial it seems. Can't stress that enough. Call & ask about waxing. I'm sure they'd be ok with it :)

 I was looking at those! I use the Pure Protein powder for my shakes and really like it.

I'm thinking of having a protein bar every so often for breakfast. Any recommendations for great tasting/low carb protein bars? Thanks guys! :) 

Congrats on the start of your journey! It's a nerve-wracking yet exciting time! It passes by quicker than you think :)

I'm two months out & my surgeon told me specifically no baths (showers only) & no swimming for two months post-op (which sucked because I love going tubing at the river around memorial day!). Now that my two months are up, it's river time!

Each surgeon has different rules, though. If you love swimming, that'd be a good question to ask him or her!

Great idea! I had been contemplating getting both an indoor AND a real one for bike trails. Thanks for the great suggestions, I'll definitely look into getting a HRM & a more realistic feeling indoor bike.

 I'm sending you a request! I need friends, too. Anyone can add me if they'd like. My username is sonriaconmigo :)
