I should clarify...other then raw veggies I can eat anything....but a nice big salad is reserved for when I am at home...just in case. And munching on raw carrots...BIG no no. For eating whites...I will eat white bread and not whole wheat...white rice not brown. I know that they are not the healthie...

When I was at my worst, 20 to 30 BMs a day, I was taking. 10 to 12 pills a day and nothing ....didnt even slow the train down let alone stop it. It also bothered me to be constantly putting that much into my body every day. Even now with doing the daily enema I stay away from raw veggies and eat the...

This never ever gets easier. Know that you made a difference Kenny. You brought smiles and many a chuckle to many...thoughts are with your loved ones....and us.

Hope this thread helps!!! I was just thinking this am about how this has just become a part of my life....no different then showering or brushing my teeth. I just get up every morning and do it....then forget about it until tomorrow. The odd time....maybe every other month when I have an "episo...

Hugs,,,many, many gentle hugs.......(((((((( )))))))

I have thought about you and your husband often,,,and will be thinking of you both now.

My husband went to the dr last week for what we thought was a hernia that he has had for about a year. Dr took one look and said "oh." This is not a hernia. I think it is a lymph node. Groin, about the size of a tennis ball and rock hard. Node itself does not hurt, area all around it does....

Always happy to read your positive stories....and even though the "new ones" don't know you - you will inspire them,,,give them hope at a time when there can seem to be no hope. Keep talking BB...keep talking....

Wishing you many, MANY MANY more years of posting....

Sorry to read this latest news. I was thinking of you Kenny just the other day. May your days ahead be filled with no pain, butt lots of love. Sending gentle hugs to you and your family.

If I can add anything here, it is to be patient those first few months. Not days or weeks, but be kind to your self for two to three months. You will see a major difference by the end of month three. Too many new reversalites take their results from the first few weeks and panic that this is as good...

Hey Tammy....first of all....((((((HUG))))))......next, have you looked into some out of the box thinking like reiki or acupuncture to help with some of the symptoms? When my husband was going through some terrible nerve pain issues a few years back we were desperate to find him some relief....so as...

Lisa...sent you a PM

I have been doing a daily enema for three years now, and have never looked back. I was having 20 to 30 BMS a day, spending hours and hours in the loo. My life was miserable. Now, 30 minutes everyday, at my time if choosing and I am done for at least 24 hours . please feel free to PM me . I have help...

I would also like to echo the comments before me. The prep sucks...the rest of it is easy peasy :lol: I have had 10+ and never had an issue....nada. Like most things in life, the not knowing is the worst part. it is a new experience....and you don't know what to expect until you go through it. I sho...

Saw my surgeon this afternoon. He is sending me for a CT, not sure when. He thinks it is one of three things....severe inflammation (hope), or I have ripped a suture or tack out of the muscle (VERY painful....will take time to heal) or recurrence of another hernia (worst case). He said it was nothin...

So I am on week 10 from a complex hernia repair surgery - 5 incisional hernias repaired - open AND lapro done. 10 inch incision (reopened) Large (8x10) mesh placed. My concern - starting yesterday I have had a wicked burning pain where I am guessing a corner of the mesh is tacked. EVen through the u...
