I had a nerve conduction study about a 1 1/2 years ago and the diagnosis was that it must be from pre-diabetes?  The physician didn't really know why my toes were numb.  Anyway, I also suffer from osteoarthritis and was wondering if anyone else has thi

I am trying to get my 100-120 grams of protein as well as 100 grams of carbs in each day...  just wondering how many of you post-surgery continue to count grams each day or do you just "know" that you are getting close to the right amount?  I still wat

Have to travel 7 hours round trip tomorrow to see my surgeon and nutritionist.  Been 30 days since surgery. Feeling well, other than recovering from my first bout of urinary tract infection.  I have seven more days on Cipro for that.

Weight is still pretty flat lined.  I am hoping this week will be a little more encouraging.  Haven't really lost more than 3 lbs in two weeks.  Last night had an episode of Urinary Tract Infection.  Normally women have this so was very surprised.  I t

17 days out from surgery on Stage 3 and my dinner tonight was some pureed refried beans, a little ricotta cheese, applesauce and some mashed sweet potatoes.    Had 10-15 bites a little too fast and now what I would call my stomach yelling at me.... a l

Down to 269 lbs!  Although not much yet, at least I am moving in the right direction.  Today I started the pureed food stage for two weeks.  First meal was to be 3/4 cup of cottage cheese and 1/4 cup of pureed canned fruit (no added sugars).  Only able

I am feeling really pretty good right now.  Other than weak and tire easily I can't complain at all.  Food is going well, I am getting 64+ ounces of water in a day.  My food intake seems to be much greater than others that say 600 calories of so.  My t

Had surgery on Wednesday the 1st.  All went well and returned home on the 2nd -- 3.5 hours in the car but stopped at all the rest stops to get my walk in.  Drank a little water in the car.  Felt really pretty good during the day. 

That night wa

I have had numbness in my feet (mostly toes) for about 4 years.  Will losing weight help with or alleviate that problem?  I do not have diabetes.  Wondering if anyone has had this issue.  They performed a nerve conduction study about 3 years ago and si

I am having either one of these two surgeries.  Since I am semi-retired, I currently only work 28 hours a week at my position.  After surgery I am hoping to do the following schedule.

My job is basically sedentary and they had planned on me wor

I am trying to go without Meloxicam as my pain relief for osteoarthritis and just using Tylenol Arthritis.  My physician is hoping to do an RNY surgery which means no more NSAIDs for arthritis.  Anyone else in this same position and what options do I h
