Congratulations! WELCOME TO THE LOSER'S BENCH! Remember to walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip! You need to move around as much as possible to eliminate the gas. Hold a pillow over your stomach when getting in and out of bed and for the ride home. It will help! If it hurt while walking use one while walking. You've got this! You can do it!
“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”― Marc Hack
