Topic: RE: Anyone else have difficulty w/ ground meat
The throwing up issue has been a problem for me too the past few weeks. I'll go 5 or 6 days w/o any problems and then all of a sudden i have a few days where it seems that certain things(and it can be things that have never been a problem) will bounce back at me like a rubber ball. Lately it's been ground meat. I also got somewhat depressed over it as well.
Topic: RE: Anyone else have difficulty w/ ground meat
My surgeon told me that at week 4-6 you start to be able to eat less than you could in the begining, that you stomach actually swells a little bit and its just more difficult for a while
Topic: RE: how will i throw them away??
Throw them out and don't look back. I'm 7 weeks out and I cleaned out my closet a few weeks ago . Just held on to a few items that still fit . But got rid of all my winter clothes knowing that I will not be using them again. It felt wonderful. I have an aunt who had surgery 3 months before me so she's been passing me the clothes that are to big for her so luckliy I haven't bought anything yet. I don't want to shop at the fat lady store ever again. So I'm tying to hold out for a while longer. Belive me you will
feel somuch better getting rid of those clothes and just remember you willnever need them again. Good Luck.

Topic: calcium supplement
I found a new (to me) calcium supplement at Target. Adora is made with chocolate and comes in milk chocolate and dark chocolate. It has a few less calories than the Citrical Chews - 30 calories, 3g fat, and 3g sugar. The dark chocolate only has 2g of sugar. You can buy it in a bag of 30 or just a small package if you want to try them out. They taste like real chocolate to me. The packages are green and purple. The bag costs $6.99. I forgot how much the smaller package costs.
cool,,ill have to try that,,,thanks,,
