Wow. That's not good. I hope you get some relief. Have you tried Maxalt? That seems to work best for me in stopping the migraine if I feel the symptoms early enough. I have vocodin for pain but that just numbs it. Good luck

Thanks for checking Tillie. I had a bunch of tests run yesterday and am waiting for results. I have never had injections before so I can't even imagine how bad yours are. I will update the board when I hear anything. Last two days have been okay. Fingers crossed. Hope they find something that...

Thanks. I have an appointment with the cardiologist Monday.

Thank you. I appreciate the input. I know it's hard work and I am getting better and it helps to have people talk through it. I think I do eat too fast. I don't know how to slow down. everything gets ice cold if I eat slower. I don't think I eat too much though. As soon as my stomach feels the...

So, I have been having terrible migraines almost daily. I have always suffered migraines but the intensity has lessened in recent years. Now I am having them at least 3 days out of the week. I also am trying to go back to the gym on a cardiac rehab program and the two times I have gone my blood...

So far not so happy. I am trying though. Eating has just become an ordeal now. It was so much a part of me before. I loved to cook even healthy meals. Now everything is just so blah to me or gives me heartburn. Yes I miss some things like pizza or chips but it really is more than that. I can't...

Sounds like she is passive aggressive. She fools her self into thinking she is helping you but in reality is just mean spirited. I have a woman like that in my office too. She thinks she knows all about healthy eating and never stops herself from criticizing others for what they eat. Then she...

I had some major pain for two days starting around my seventh day after surgery. I was worried I would have to go to the hospital but it ended up just being the healing process. I had no pain before that and then started getting the sharp stabbing pains. There is an awful lot of heeling...

Good luck and congratulations. For me the aftermath of surgery was pretty good. Like others say everyone is different. I didn't really need help but it was nice initially to have someone around. My biggest challenge was with lifting anything. You aren't supposed to initially and my dog had just...

I was told in this stage to not eat fresh fruit or raw veggies by the NUT. I am not a big fan of cooked veggies but have recently added v8 so I get my veggie servings in. I actually can't wait to have fresh fruit and am actually craving a salad. Never thought I would hear myself saying that. I...

Thank you all. I realize I am impatient. It's all so different. You are right. I am losing steadily and weight watchers never did keep the weight off. It's a process and I am determined to be more positive going forward

I had it in 2014, This week I have not lost any weight at all. My typical menu is a protein shake in the morning, a small serving of canned sugar free fruit, 2 ounces of lean meat for lunch, 2 ounces of lean meat for dinner, a sugar free jello, and a protein drink before bed. No cheating at all.

I have been reading posts here and it seems like so many have lost so much more than I have quicker. I am 4 weeks out and have only lost 18 pounds. I know I have not gone over 600 calories if that any time since surgery. If I am lucky I can now get two ounces down in one sitting of anything. I...

This post brought tears to my eyes. Congratulations to you and your wife on everything. You are an inspiration.

I was turned down twice by the insurance company before they finally approved me and then scheduled surgery for November. A week before my surgery my primary care physician had me come in just to chat and do a quick exam. During this he found that I was having extra heartbeats and then wanted me...
