Thanks for the chart, Fluffy. I'll have to experiment!

I try to "drink" my emotions away with some sugar-free flavored water or a homemade iced coffee with vanilla protein in it instead of eating food.

One thing I found extremely useful were a pack of tiny 2 ounce solo cups to take your medication and drinks with, I was having a hard time taking tiny sips and measuring my liquid intake those came in handy Sent from my BND-L34 using BariatricPal mobile app

Are you eating things that are sugar-free? Are you taking any meds that would cause it? I didn't have that.

WOW Lark60, You are so inspiring. Congratulations on your weight loss

You're very welcome! I joined this support group last May, and have found it to be a wealth of useful information, love, and support! Best to you! Sarah aka Briswife15

Mine was an hour, face-to-face. No questionnaire.

Recently a colleague said that I don't seem to eat that much in general and I was like WTF??? Not more than any other eating disordered community, LOL.

I have realized when you are overweight, people find it difficult to tell the difference. For instance, I had my surgery on January 31st and I have lost 40lbs since pre-surgery diet. My father made a comment about how he couldn't tell at all. He can only tell my face looks smaller. So I showed him a before picture and he was like WOW. I have a cousin who made similar comment. I think it has to be drastic for people to notice. But you know what counts? I notice. I can fit into my old clothes. I have clothes in all sizes and it makes me feel better. Stay positive! Take measurements. That helps.

I went to the ER, because I developed a 101.8 fever. My bp was over 200 and my bs was high 200's. The diahreah caused low potassium and they said was causing my bs to be so high. I had an infusion and a bag of saline. I'm home and still feel weak, but hopefully soon I will get over this bump in the road.
