OH NO! Might not be able to treat a broken rib.. but if the pain is that bad, you might need to get something stronger than the tylenol that we can take. I wish you a quick recovery.
I too have been afflicted bay pain. Friday I twiste4d my back or something getting out of the car to go to the gym. I was able to complete my workout without pain, but when I stopped and sat down I was in excruciating pain. Ended me up in the ER and they decided to work me up for abdominal stuff as well since for some reason I was having right lower abdomen pain. Chalk it up to musclokeletal pain. I ended up being on bedrest all weekend. feeling better end of lastnight.. I did WATP for 15 minutes.

Hi Fran,
My last post was the last day I walked. I fell at the end of the walk. I thought I was okay and just ache. Then I started with pain on my right side which is the side I landed on. Now hurts to breathe, sneeze, cough, or laugh. My Sis and SIL (both nurses) say it is probably cracked rib or two. No sense going to the doctor's office or get an X-RAY because they don't treat it. It just must heal on it's own. So I'm told. No sense contacting the trainer until I'm able to do the exercises.
Hugs and Good Thoughts to You,
Mag

Topic: Monday Evening Chats are great
Hi Everyone Old and New,
I am looking forward to this evening's chat. Wrote a long post and then it would not process. So this is the short version. Please come to chat. It's a great time to get to know each other and get questions answered. I'm the world's worst speller and can't type well at all. Don't use that as a reason not to come. lol Oh how I wish chat had spell check. lol
Chat is at 5PM Mountain Time, so I think that's 7PM Eastern Time and 4PM Pacific Time. If I'm wrong please correct me.
Hope to "see" you tonight. Mag

Hi Doug,
It's good to see your post today. Also good to know your name now. although I really like Texasky. I know what you mean about giving clothes away. It's a good feeling. We have 3 resale shops in our small burg. Each give all their profit to needy families and other good groups who work for the betterment of so many elderly.
I hope I replied to you friend request. I saw it in an email but when I went to my OH messages there were no request pending. We all need BB friends.
Your doing great. Mag

Topic: RE: Newbie
Hi Chris. Nice to meet you.
I'm 1 year out from the RNY. I too am thrilled that I had the surgery. The first few months were a little bit difficult due to health problems not related to the WLS.
Now a year later I'm so thrilled with my new self and life. At 363 pounds I was missing out on so many things my friends were doing. Walking out the the mailbox was a struggle. I've gone from a wheelchair to a walker to nothing but freedom in walking. I routinely average 1 mile 5X's a week. Need to start going to the gym to build muscle and tone. I've been putting it off for quite a while now. Need some one to kick me in the butt and tell me it's good to do it. Sometimes tough love is needed.
I haven't had a problem with wanting to over eat except a couple of times. Once I did it I sure didn't want to do it anytime soon. I haven't had an appetite for the best part of the year. Once in a while I want to eat totally due to stress not hunger. I just have to talk positive thoughts to myself or post and let my BB friends help me through it. To this day I keep track of when I eat. Otherwise I will skip meals cause I just not tuned in to eating as much. It is no longer in control. I am. It's a beautiful feeling.
I only have 1 negative thing. I can't drink fluids when I eat. That's the only thing I didn't like. It's mostly just a memory now as I have adjusted fairly well to that.
Hugs and best of luck. Mag

Hey Fran,
How goes it? I just wanted to say I think losing 100 pounds in a year is not in anyway, shape, or form losing slowly. You've done wonderfully well on your journey. You are a blessing to me.
Hugs, Mag

Well I have been a member here a little while, but don't remember If I have done the intro process yet...well if I have already...I'll do It again.
My name is Doug, I live in Texas. I had wls on Friday, May 13Th. Was very successful and would do it again if I had too. But this one has done the job. As of today I have lost 195 lbs. Life is so much easier now...I can do many things that I could have never done being so heavy. I also need a new wardrobe...the other has been given away and It's such a wonderful feeling to give to someone in need of clothes.
Talk soon

Chris, I do not feel like I am starving. The small pouch works for portion control. I go out to eat with my hubby, just get a take out box with your meal to put most of it in. The wait staff likes to offer you different options or a replacement meal when they notice that you have barely touched your meal. I have quality foods when I can. One of my trigger foods used to be ice cream, thankfully, I dump on overly rich ice cream products. I love sugar free popsicles, gives me the crunch and flavor with no symptoms.
I get most of my protein from real foods, using a shake a couple of times a month if I didn't get in protein with foods. I don't count calories or carbs anymore. Just focus on getting in the protein and veggies if I have room. I do struggle with making smaller amounts of soups and hotdishes, I can only face the same foods so many meals in a row, lol.
When I was larger, I was unhappy, struggling to do things that everyone else does, achy joints, fatigue, the list goes on and on. Now, I can and do walk as much as I want, no longer needing a cane. Getting in and out of furniture is easier. I don't worry about squashing flimsy chairs. I fit into jeans again. Just basic things make me happy. Hard to explain, I am a happier person in general. I hope your get your answers, keep asking, we will share out stories too.
