Just a little tip. Soup is a slider food so to compensate, make it thicker/chunkier and pour off some of the liquid if you have to. You don't want your food sliding through your pouch too quick or you'll end up wanting to eat more. And that's why you don't drink with meals too.

A medicated pillow is a happy pillow -- but no wonder you felt bad! I'm glad you are now with us on the loser's bench, Paige!

All it took for my insurance to cover it was for my doctor to give me a referral. Not only did my doc get me the referral but because I needed to drive to MA to get my tests done, her office scheduled all of the required tests for the same day... the bone scan and mammo were scheduled 10 minutes apart at one facility and the eye exam was done an hour later at another location.

If the stall continues another week, I will contact the doc about the nutritionist. I think I will go home tonight and reread the nutrition section of the book they sent me home with. Maybe that will help me. I should consider myself lucky I guess because I haven't really had a stall till now. The...

Well, apparently this medicine I am taking is helping my stomach because I have felt much better. My only issue now is that I continue having double vision episodes. They keep me from driving and working, which is very frustrating. I am calling my regular doctor on Monday and checking in with the eye doctor too as my surgeon did not look into it when I mentioned it numerous times.

Ok, I was pretty emotional because I was scared and it REALLY hurt. So, today, I felt a sneeze coming on and grabbed my...
