Was given the all clear to try regular coffee if desired. Yesterday was my birthday and I chickened out of getting a birthday skinny mocha. Today I did end up trying a small one and my god. This is probably hour 2 of dumping. Anxiety? Check Heart palpitations? Check Nausea? Check General uneasy feeling? Check 0/10 do not recommend!

My support group said it was likely the sugar content. Because my derpy self didn’t think they made a sugar free and they do 🤦‍♀️ I am scarred for awhile though.

I infrequently use sauces so I just opt for the regular stuff. However I usually use Olive Garden light Italian for salads. I don’t do ketchup either but my son loves sir kennsington ketchup

It's not their fault. You seem to have all your excuses ready. Though, If I had to be honest, and I am, there is no way I could have followed through on the draconian diets of today. And I didn't have anyone cooking treats in front of me. Get some professional help before you create lasting problems. You can only benefit. Good luck, Tek

I have to giggle…FlamingoLady and CatWoman talking on the thread…☺️ Hello and welcome! I’m new here too and love this community!

My dietician said hair supplements & collagen DO NOT WORK! Stop wasting money & time with them. Said collagen is empty calories. And on supplements, just because it says “hair doesn’t mean that’s where your body will apply it. Your body will use it where it’s needed & hair generally isn’t the priority to your body. PROTEIN is the ONLY thing that will keep you from suffering from hair loss. So meet your protein goals as set by your doctor (usually 60-80g protein/day for women, 70-90g for men).

I am experiencing my first stall and heading into week 3 of it. Very frustrating! As a fellow Bipolar I can't emphasize enough how important your meds are especially with the stress of a stall AND moving. Do you have a therapist you can vent this all out to that can help you gain some perspective and air out your fears? I don't know where I would be without mine. I hope this helped! Melly

Hi! I had heartburn regularly before surgery. Not every day but frequently i had to take pepcid and tums. Immediately following surgery it was worse and i was taking prescription pepcid twice daily, im 2.5 months out no and no longer take it most days. I need one pill every 4-5 days so its definitely improving.

I'm meant to be on 20th July for a Roux NY and a hiatal hernia repair. Fingers crossed! as it's been postponed three times already lol Best of luck to everyone waiting for their surgeries 🙏👍

I’m scheduled for July 6th!
