Your gall bladder is on your right side, you mentioned this was on your left side. I had my gall bladder removed, it's a stabbing pain concentrated to that area. It sounds like yours is more into your stomach. You ate alot of foods you've been cutting out that day, sounds more like maybe you aggravated an ulcer or had bad…

I lost 23 pounds in 32 hours due to food poisoing, oh the memories, lol. I wasn't on mfp yet when I got better, but was starting to track my food. I gained 13 of it back, the other came and went until I started mfp and was on a daily plan. I'd bet you'll gain some, but not all back, but if you do, don't worry, it'll come…

I'm not arguing soda vs diet soda, etc. I enjoy my diet coke every now again, but I do know that Carbonation is bad for you, no matter what it's in, even flavored water. I know this because in Jan 2011 I was having tons of stomach problems and pain where my gallbladder once was. Dr was concerned, so he did an upper GI…

i agree with Qarol. It's not teaching proper food proportions so the minute you stop you back to your bad eating habits.

I got my fibro dx in 2000, but I've had it my whole life. Some days I can't make it out of bed, others I have little pain. The key to overcoming the pain is working through it. Take 5 extra steps than you did the day before. Go downstairs even if it hurts, just don't push it. If you can only do that 1x per week, then fine,…

Feel free to send me a friend request and mention fibro too if you want.

Oh, forgot a big health problem...asthma. :yawn:

I started at 316 about 2 weeks ago, am down 7. Current health problems, actually current non-health problems is a better question, lol. Fibromyalgia recovering from left ankle reconstruction TMJ left and right GERD with Barrett's Esophogus Migraines Chronic sinusitis Vitamin D deficiency Osteoarthrits in knees, shoulders…

I'll back you up on that promise.

I'll give it a try.

Have your dr run a blood test to see if you are B defficient. I'd been taking otc B vitamins with no result. blood test showed I was really low so the dr gave me a shot of B-12, it was like day and night. It's been 8 months and I'm still testing in the normal range with no more B than what's in a daily vitamin and what I…

I do it when I think of it.

I can't do, just can't make myself get up and I'm tired from all day. Instead I sleep as usual and do stretching, squats, etc during the day at my desk, so when I head to the gym I don't have to spend as long in the evening. good luck waking up...many people do it!

My husband and I own a game and hobby store. He's much more geek than I am, lol, but i'm super into board games....ticket to ride, dominion, 7 wonders, carcasonne, etc.

I have fibromyalgia and an ankle recovery from full reconstruction surgery 2 years ago, so I know pain. On days I"m really hurting aqua exercise is best. You can run, walk, use water weights, etc. Depending on the where the cyst is a recumbent elliptical might work. Same no impact on the knees but you are sitting in a…

I'm the same way. Don't go cold turkey from everyday to 1x per week. Go to less in one day, then every other day, etc. It's hard I know. I fell victim to a bagel just an hour ago. Also, pre-bag what you crave to the proper serving size. For example if it's cookies and the serving size is 2, but them in a snack bag and…

100 more to go!

Bump pushes/bumps a topic back to the top of the list so it doesn't get lost.

Thanks everyone for the great encouragement!

25 mayble, lol...but I"m recovering from ankle surgery. I am going to try.
