  • You should probably voice your concerns with your doctor but yes it can definitely reoccur. I had surgery for 3 ventral hernias with mesh almost three years ago. A year later, I developed two more ventral hernias in the same area. I think I did too much too fast after surgery with lifting my then 2 year old daughter and…

  • The big question if it is blood or not is that blood, in bowel movements in my own experience, has a really really strong sickly sweet smell...but I would get a doctor ASAP to make sure.

  • Well you really don't want to overdo it at this point since you are still recovering from surgery. I would start doing a walk routine and some light weights first and go from there. At the gym I would try the bicycle or treadmill with some machine or light hand weights...good luck! No jumping or running yet!

  • Are you working out? I looked through a couple days of your food diary and it looked pretty good calorie wise, but some of the reasons you aren't seeing the difference in the scale could be the sodium content of some of the foods you are consuming. I have those days too when sweets and carbs are really tempting but I only…

  • Those prepackaged baked potatoes in the produce section are awesome. Just pop them in the microwave and they are so much better than the ones you get in the 10 lb bags. Also, I like to make my tuna fish or chicken salad sandwiches with cottage cheese, no mayo since they are less calories and more filling. Also, there is…
