I llllllove lllllllove my Quest Double chocolate Chunk Protein Bars they give me that wonderful chocolate craving i frequently have one a day buttttt-its like the commercial for Lay's Potato chips "Betcha Can't Eat Just One" unfortunately that's true with my Protein bars sometimes i have trouble eating "ONE" bar i can definitely eat two bars, i love them, can't resist for some reason this is the only food i can/will not eat slowly my slider weakness! i am trying hard not to buy them anymore when they are in pantry, too hard to resist Abstinence frequently works for me (Cookies etc) adding protein bars to my list btw @@Alex Brecher - your profile on the left, you've lost more weight, right?? you are very close to GOAL!

Only Listen To Your Doc/NUT (or me ) doc/NUT should be able to help you give you a pill? explain food phases/steps to take etc hopefully you'll feel better sooner than later!!! good luck sweet dreams kathy

"one day at a time" works for me kathy

@ you had major tummy surgery take time for yourself lots of rest, fluids etc that's great that you have been approved for taking a month off of work PO is that your thinking on how much time you feel you need after surgery?? all people react differently PO some OP might take a month or so to feel able to go back to work (i don't think that's the norm?") others need a couple of weeks, i think this is very common some need only one week other people returning to work in a matter of days you won't know where you stand, til you start standing LOL doesn't have to be all or nothing how about 1/2 day work weeks good luck with surgery life gets better and better!!!! speedy recovery kathy

@@Julie_vsg_053116 don't know bud i am pretty sure pink eye can spread/contagious doc might not want to take any chances how is your eye doing?? what did the doc say?? did he "Do the Deed?" hope surgery went on without a glitch no problems if surgery was postponed DEAL WITH IT WLS will happen hopefully sooner than later good luck kathy

(but i really do have another life, i think!!) i don't think i said anything in a nasty way in my earlier post like i said earier, i couldn't say shittt if i had my mouth full - yeachh most of "us" never claimed to have medical knowledge some people put a "disclosure" before there post most people here have no formal medical training they never said other wise there are many nurses here they know medical stuff - but many/most times not applicable to WLS you were given lots of good information repeated, said a lot but when the words are good - run with them lets all "kiss and make up" like the sleeve............. you be nice to it, and it will be nice to you kathy

@@LipstickLady oh no oh no say it isn't so what did i do, what did i do i was joking when i said i never liked you eggggads i couldn't say anything mean to you (or anyone) i always have too much SUGAR on my posts!!! i can't say shitt if i had my mouth full i probably misunderstood easy to happy behind a computer monitor this is actually coincidental to what @@Aimee-Belle said in her earlier post grabbing my kleenex with love to @@LipstickLady kathy
