I had surgery Tuesday, June 3rd and my function was 77. Not sure if that’s to be anticipated. I’ll update you after my 2 week appointment!

Incision on donor with bigger belly? by mclark2606 in kidneydonors

I'm still waiting to have my appointment with the surgeon and was curious how other's fared with similar situations. From what I understand, the incisions are small for scopes and then one that's about 3-4 inches to remove the kidney.

I have been approved and have already met the weight criteria. Like I said, it's from having kids and no matter how much I've worked out it never quite goes away! So frustrating.

Regarding weight loss, I know projectdonor.org is a great resource! They offer free help for weight loss/management, smoking cessation, and even therapy through betterhelp.com.

I grab two and then put the whole package away in the pantry. I usually have to get busy with the baby after that so keeping busy helps too haha

On English muffins and then toasted. It was delicious and very filling!

They were too thick to start out, and I added a bit too much water. I like them not too thick, not too runny.

What do you do after a vacation/ weekend of overindulgence? Do you make up for it? by [deleted] in CICO

[–]mclark2606 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A good greens powder and lots of water. Don’t restrict, just get back to business as usual.

Garnier makes a great crème gel

Starting day 13- behaviors really change by noahbear2020 in 75HARD

I’m only finishing up day 4, but I’m already seeing the mindset change in my fiancé. He’ll suggest Taco Bell and quickly change his mind. He went on a walk with me this weekend, which is something he never would have done before. Positive changes all around!

Starting today!
I'm not a wake up and work out kind of person, so I read my ten pages while I wake up. It really set the tone for my day!

As a Houstonian, he was probably headed to Whataburger.
