gah. Bra shopping today. 'tis such a heinous event. dunno why they don't make those things the size they say they are. It gets tiresome trying on every new style. Although, if anyone is interested, I did find a cut that appears to be designed to maximise the fat under your arms. Seems like a POW style....

Mygawd, I am VERY interested.. . . .:huh:.... . do you mean that this bra magically collects all of one's underarm/tricep fat and recruits it into one's bra cups?

Whoa... . ... .I'd be, like, a double F er sumfin'.... . . .. .

I think POW is how I will determine style from now on.

I have to go throw this iced tea out! It tastes like soap! I knew I shouldn't have scrubbed the iced tea pitcher. I usually just sort of rinse but the tea builds up & I scrubbed it really well. Now it tastes like soap! Good thing Dawn is gluten-free. :blink:

Yep, I'm in Auckland, but don't hold that against me :P

Bra shopping... there is a subject dear to my heart... ladies - proper fitting makes all the difference in the world - I've been known to stop people in the street and let them know why their bra is not fitting properly ;) Back fat is NOT PRETTY! West Aucklanders make POW look quite refined don't you know!

And please don't behave on my account... I have plenty of naughty in me!

The worst, most uncomfortable, ill-fitting bra I evah bought/wore (once) in my life was one bought from a specialty bra shop called U-Fit-In in ChCh. Well, obviously I didn't fit in, in their store or their bra. I guess the shop was designed for those with ginormous boobies which overfloweth all cups and know no bounds, whereas my problem is that I have BIG bones and small mammalaries and the cup sizes for my around size start at something like DDXXXX :lol:

Lol Mushroom. I'm the opposite... lots of filling for the cups, not a lot of ribcage on which to rest 'em... if the band size starts with 12 or 14 (34 or 36 in old money) then it often doesn't quite go high enough up the alphabet :D The very, very best fitter I've ever met is in a little shop in Howick - she's the absolute business and won't let you purchase anything that doesn't absolutely fit perfectly... hmmm... I can feel an expedition coming on.

BE called whilst I was shopping and I told him it could take a while. He thought I was kidding. :blink: I was showing him one of the cute ones :ph34r: and he asked what size I wore. Humorous to me that the actual presence of the said appendages is not nearly so entertaining as the numbers associated with them. :P:rolleyes:

I always liked Lands End suits. You could get different bra types and strategic draping or pleating. As strategic as an article of clothing can be that leaves 80% of you uncovered.

I personally go for a one suit that covers my thighs. can't get around the cleavage part because although I'm only 4'11" I have big boobs. I can't wait to feel well enough to sit in my backyard (while the neighbors kids are in school). Can't go to the beach until the strips holding my incision together fall off. My neighbor without the kids said I'm welcome to sun in her yard when the older ones go nuts on the trampoline. She also make jewelry (very different than mine) so we plan on trading skills this summer.

Today I see the oncologist af find out my biopsy results. Clark took the day off. Will let you know how it turns out later.

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

Had you ever been officially diagnosed with celiac disease previously? You say the result of the blood test was 1.5. Can you provide the name of the test and the reference range for negative...

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      By trents · Posted

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.

After eating all that wheat product my body exploded with all sorts of symptoms. I stop gluten ASAP. I am still in the healing process. I started having issues after my surgery.

Had you ever been officially diagnosed with celiac disease previously? You say the result of the blood test was 1.5. Can you provide the name of the test and the reference range for negative vs. positive for the test? I ask because different labs used different reference ranges so scores without a reference range aren't very helpful.
