Hi All.. I haven't been here in a few weeks.. just to keep you posted.. I had surgery on 3/16 and have now to date/ 5/31 lost 41 lbs.. seems slow to me. does anyone have any good recipes with ground beef we can have at 3-4 months.. I seem to tolerate it best. Also, when I eat too fast and I guess I am having dumping syndrome (but not from eating too much) I get pains in my chest.. Also, have thrown up some food/ mostly thick watery stuff.. Anyone want to share.. you can email me at lynhef@aol.com .. thanks a bunch

Hi Lynhef. I saw that you were new and asking about a chat room. I am new too, only been on here for a week. I found out that basically no one ever goes to the chat rooms. They just all post on the threads. It was really hard for me to do that at first because I didn't know what I was doing. But I just explored a lot and would occasionally comment on stuff, and now it's not so bad. I have found, though, that it is sometimes easier for me to meet someone on here, then swap e-mails. You will just have to see what you are more comfortable doing.

Hi Lynhef
I am from San Diego, so how are you doing? how do you fell after your surgery? Atleast you have your's done already, how long did you have to wait before they give you your surgery date? its is so hard waiting everyday i wake i always said to my self maybe this is the that i would hear from the surgeon to set up date for the big day. what do you have to before surgery?

thank you for your message
take care
