I went from a 42 C to a 34 A and believe me, I am not happy about it. It's very hard to find bras that fit now because they are made for teenagers in this size not someone approaching being a senior citizen.

It is unfortunate, but it's quite easy to binge with the sleeve. The sleeve makes it impossible to eat big meals with any kind of meat, but you can't even imagine how well bad things like Cookies and candy go right through like there is no sleeve there.

I've never seen strawberry at costco. It's too bad they don' t carry a variety package. I've never tried the vanilla. I would hate to buy a whole box and not like it. The best Protein shakes in my opinion have to be bought online. The premiere are convenient, but it only takes about 10 seconds to dump a scoop into my mini blender add Water and blend for a few seconds. I love Gaspari Myo fusion Peanut Butter and chocolate.

I really don't know what to tell you because there is no way I can eat 6 ounces. I can eat 6oz of yogurt, because it's a slider. As far as meat goes, if I eat 3 oz I am so stuffed, I am just miserable. You need to go back to basics and just eat Protein first and veggies if there is room. Stay away from all those white carbs and your cravings for sweets should go away.

Yes, be glad you have insurance to cover the surgery. I had to pay for the psych eval when I was going for surgery for the band because the surgeon wanted it, even though I was paying for the surgery out of pocket. I didn't have to have one to have the band removed though!

it's very simple for me. If I eat carbs, I want more carbs. I can eat good carbs and still crave ice cream and cookies. I do best when I limit my carbs to only carbs from veggies. I don't eat high carb veggies like carrots, either. If I want my cravings to go away, I do best with as few carbs as possible.

Do you mind telling us how much that E Cig costs? I have a friend that really needs to quit cause of copd. They don't have a lot of money so I was wondering if it's something they can afford. I know cigarettes are expensive but they do buy the tobacco and make their own.

You just have to make up your mind to eat Protein first and some veggies and if you snack between meals, it's with protein. nuts are okay, and I will sometimes have a cheese stick with a few Fiber one crackers . They aren't very bad as far as carbs go and I only need about 3 with a cheese stick. I allow myself one snack in the evening like a sf pudding or a ww fudgesicle. Lately I have really been enjoying plain greek yogurt with coconut sf syrup mixed in. pretty yummy!

8750 seems to be the going rate. Sometimes there are specials in about August because it's so hot there, people sometimes will choose another month. I have heard he runs specials to get people to come in August. That includes all tests and everything other than the prescription for an acid blocker that you get before you go home. You can get it filled right next door.

You can also get pro pudding by body tech. 25 grams of Protein and 4 carbs. All you do is mix it with Water. It's really good quick and easy.

I went alone and my only problem was I was bored out of my mind! I spent a lot of time walking around outside. I walked several blocks one way, then i would turn around and come back and walk several blocks the other way. I didn't bring my lap top but I sure wish I had. Luckily, Dr. Campos would lend me his every day at around 3:30.

you can get pudding from the Vitamin shoppe that's 25 grams of Protein 145 calories and 3 carbs. It's called Pro Pudding by Body tech. If you don't have a Vitamin Shoppe, you can get it at Amazon.com I haven't tried the vanilla but the chocolate is really good!

I love egg salad too. Boiled eggs light mayo ( I love Miracle Whip) and a tiny bit of mustard. mash it up very finely and it's yummy!

That is exactly how I lost all of my weight . I never lost weight each week, after about the first month. I would plateau for a few weeks then lose 5 lbs the next week. It was maddening, but consistent.

That is really good news Diva! I'm so glad you're doing so well. I wish the feeling would come back in my face

The chocolate calcium at Walmart is calcium carbonate not calcium citrate. Calcium carbonate is garbage and is hardly absorbed.

Look for the recipe for the ricotta bake in the food forum. It's really good. Do you like fish? Soft white fish is really good. I never worried about tartar sauce calories when I was eating so few calories anyway. I love white fish if I have a good tartar sauce.

Just be prepared that alcohol affects us differently now with the miniature tummy. The first time I had a drink , I was really surprised how much I felt it!

I was trying bras on again today feeling totally disgusted. It's a pretty sad situation in the A department. Just because I have no boobies does not mean I want the side of the bra to only have 1-2 inches of material under my arm. Those bras that come in A cups are made for teenagers not someone almost 60! It really doesn't make sense to me that in High School I weighed 110 and had bigger boobs than I do now weighing 130. I would definitely get a boob job if the plastic surgeon had not already told me I would lose nipple sensation. I can't have that!

I take a lot of pills and I don't crush any of them. I am over 2 years post op though. In the beginning, I got chewables whenever possible and all the rest of my pills were tiny.

Sorry to hear of your injury. That really sucks. I hope the anti inflammatories start working fast. I don't think you will gain weight unless you start snacking more. It looks like you really have good control over your calories and carbs so just keep it up and you'll be fine.

I get them from Bariatric Advantage. You have to put them on auto ship to get that price. They charge my credit card once a month. You still need more calcium than 2 of those chews per day though. There is 60 in a bag and I think 2 of them is only 500 mg. and we need more than that. My dr. wants at least 1500 in supplements besides yogurt, cheese etc, because I am post menopause.

Dr. Aceves has his patients on clears for 10 days. It seems like a long time but developing a leak would be horrible. Greek Yogurt is really thick. It hasn't even been a week so I would follow your doctors orders or call them and ask if you can advance your diet.

Just make sure you're getting calcium citrate not calcium carbonate. The only place to get the calcium citrate in chews is online. The chocolate ones are really good and I have them on auto ship so it's 9.99 per month. That's only 1/3 of my calcium that I need though . for the rest, I drink a liquid I get from costco. I also take calcium citrate capsules that get from vitacost. You can get sample packs for free from Bariatric Advantage and from Celebrate of different Vitamins and calcium. I couldn't take the chewables from Vitacost any longer. They were just too sweet. The capsules are easy to take. Get the sublingual vit b12 that dissolves under your tongue. It's cheap at Walmart and I am sure Walgreens or anyplace like that would carry them.

Just go slowly. Don't drink too much at once. Wait at least 5 min between drinking anymore.
