Recently I've noticed that when I first wake up or when I'm thirsty, I get this lump in my lower throat. It doesn't hurt, just feels strange. Typically once I start drinking it goes away.

Is this just my body's way of telling me to get my flui

Hey all,

first I want to apologize for posting my questions so often, but not commenting on other people's posts regularly. Because of my work and wifi access it's been hard.

okay, so here's my (almost) 2 month update.

I have a nasty flu bug. That's got me pretty nauseous. Is a small cup of ginger ale something that would still help post op? (I'm only 1 month out so it may be a huge no no)

So I've developed a weird quirk this week. Most every strong scented food just smells sooo bad. I walked into the cafeteria the other day and got immediately nauseated. I served green beans today, terrible. And don't even get me started on meatballs. I

I'm one month out post op, and while I've been a trying to stay positive I've been a little bummed about my "slow" loss. But today I checked my scale and I've officially hit 249 lbs! That means I've reached the major milestone of a 50 pound loss from m

Yikes it's been awhile! I'm at my summer camp job so it's early morning and late nights, not to mention spotty wifi. Which equals limited internet access. Here's the update: Weight loss- 17 (plus the 15lbs of water weight post op) It's not as high as w

Like the title says, I knew I wasn't drinking enough water because it makes me nauseous.

Today, after talking with my surgeon's staff, I went to a gynecologist. Just as I thought, UTI and a yeast infection. Great. The UTI is in part because of

My surgery was onTuesday. At first I felt great. Then my epidural wore off. Now I feel not so great. I'm feeling pretty sore and nauseous. It hurts most when I walk- feels like I have little knives in my tummy. At least I can pee on my own now.
