Topic: I need your input friends!!!
I'm terrified!!!

of my up coming surgery for a panniculetomy!!!! I haven't admitted out loud to friends or family. I'm fearing the what if I get an infection again. I can't get a leak. They won't be touching any internal organs. They will be just cutting the flab off, right??? I fear a surgical incision infection!!! My last one took months to health with a wound vac attached. I can't afford a mishap like the last ones..

I have been stress eating with carbs... I need to be getting my protein in and vitimans...

Can you all help...Not sure how, maybe a good swift kick in the behind!!
I need to get back on a low carb eating lifestlye again....HELPPP please.
Love and hugs

 Welcome aboard!  We have plenty of DSers around here who will be more than delighted to help you find out how lower carb way of eating can be good for you!  Your surgery date is near mine in the calendar year -- I also had a December surgery, and remember very well how odd it was being in the hospita that time of year.  

Seven weeks out is NEW!  How are you feeling?

Just curious, how does flax meal sit with your tummy?  It goes right through me, and I was sort of surprised by that -- did not sit well with me when I had a bad headcold earlier in the week!!!

 Isn't it interesting about how fat tends to sort of act as a solvent to melt body fat away, in the absence of carbs?  Metab olism sure is a mystery!

It's great to see you back!

 Okay - was that stilton AND butter on ryvitas, or is stilton butter something else I've never had?

(When I was in Wisconsin one summer, they had CHOCOLATE CHEESE for sale at a farmstand.)
