Sue, What you are describing is what my tummy was like about 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately as I get closer to surgery day and in more pain it is just big all the time! Also aren't "pets" something you Love and brag about? Lol :) I can't worry about losing weight till after surgery...I really need my energy and nutrition. Take care, Kelly Marlow

Kelly I don;t know about the others, but when I an NOT bloated, my tummy is flat, and soft and mushy.. went I eat, or drink, and it is later in the day, and I swell....it is hard like pregnant, no longer soft and mushy, if I buy clothes that fit in the morning they are too tight later, if I buy clothes that fit my in the evenings, I swear, they come off my hips in the am, I am trying to lose a few lbs, but this is not what I call "fat" as in body fat. I've had 3 thryriod tests all borderline, but not put on meds. I was told not to eat salt, to watch salt, and that I was not getting enough salt, take your pick. I am beinging to give adhesions a name and call them "pets", as I feel they take on a life of their own!.
