Guest guest Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 I dont post much but i think i really need help right now. I had a tummy tuck on 1/16/03 and while they were in there they found a huge seroma left over from my hernia repair the year before. Therefore, they were not able to fully do the tummy tuck or be as aggressive as they intended to be. I have been home with a drain attached to me and they have tried everything except surgery to repair this. I still have the drain and am supposed to have surgery in late May. Hence, i am home doing nothing and for some reason a couple of weeks ago i started to get hooked on eating slices of lemon with salt. I never used salt for a long time now. WOW did i get addicted really fast. It just got worse. I know this may seem like a stupid addiction but its real for me. I went through 20 lemons and who knows how much salt in the last 5 days. Today after serving my new addiction i have no more lemons and put all salt down the drain. I will try this protein shake thing but im afraid that i will need one meal a day. Im not doing this to help compulsion but to start to get my body used to the protein shakes again. I will also start a walking program. I just needed to vent and tell my story, so thanks all for listening and i hope the support from this group will help me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
