Hey April, Good job on the 18 lbs!!  I had really bad liquid (poop) for the first week too.  Then I got really really constipated.  Bruno peppers with my hard boiled egg in the morning makes me right as rain.  I had my one month on Tue.  Down 31.  Slowly on our way to new people!!  Keep up the good work. Tiff

Hi Tiff!!! Thank you very much for the advice. How did your one month go and how are you doing?

Hey April, So sorry that you are having so much tummy pain.. But WOW 18 lbs that is awesome.. WTG!!  You looked great Monday night too.. I turned to get up and go say hi and you were gone.  I will have to make a point to catch you next time!!  (((BIG HUGS))) Good luck with the blood work!!

Hi ML! Thank you! You looked great too. I'm sorry I left early, but I was still feeling pretty yucky, so I decided to just go and get some rest. I can't wait to see you again!

Hey April!! Congrats to you! I am very happy to see that you have finally had the surgery! On the C-diff thing: I had it for wayt too long; in fact, I was in the hosptial for two weeks because of it. I understand what it feels like. I pray this infection on no one. Please email me letting me what is going on okay? I hope things are going well for you! Again, congrats! Denise

Hi Denise! Thank you for your feedback. I remember that you had the C-diff too, and I was thinking about asking you about it. Did it go away for you or mellow out? I haven't really felt it in the last two days, so I'm wondering if it has subsided. How are things going?

Hi April, The C-diff did not go away until Coats had me under some serious Anti-Biotics. There were moments were it seemed as if the C-diff subsided, but then it would come back in all it's horror. There are ways to tell if you have it, but they are not pretty. Dr. Coats and Diana both believed I had caught C-diff the same time that I had my surgery, which was september 11th. However, I was admitted into the hospital for C-diff in November, so I had it for a full three months. C-diff is very serious, I mean, the nurses would come into my secluded room wearing yellow robes, and face masks. It was a hard time for me, but I am happy that through the anit-biotics I no longer have it. I hope that helped answer your questions. Denise
