  2. I had all four of mine out in 2009. They weren't bothering me but the dentist suggested I do it early on. I actually went to the hospital to have it done and I was knocked out. Not quite sure of the cost because it was military doctors, but they assured me it would be expensive which was one of the reasons I did it while it was free. Sent from my iPhone using VST
  3. Sooo I used to have muscles in my biceps because I did push-ups almost daily due to my old job. But now the front of my arms are kind of flabby with stretch marks. The backs of my arms are fine. I'm don't want to get muscles again. Should I start working my arms now or wait until later. I've heard high reps low weight works. Is this true? Or any tips or suggestions on how to tone my upper front arms (biceps area)? Sent from my iPhone using VST

  5. I did the injections too. Once a day for 2 weeks...It was kind of wierd at first but after a few gos in became more natural. Sent from my iPhone using VST

  7. I'm eating one right now...delish! Sent from my iPhone using VST
  8. Ive been doing that since I was a toddler because I don't like the texture of the fruit. Especially if it's been peeled and has those little strings on it. I never thought of it to be a problem though because it only happened with oranges/tangerines and it wasn't something I ate regularly. Sent from my iPhone using VST
  9. Something similar happened to me today. I had my shake for Breakfast and then I went to work. I got in my car around 4pm and realized I didn't have anything for lunch. And I barely drank anything. I rushed home and ate a sugar free Popsicle and a string cheese stick. :/ Sent from my iPhone using VST
  10. I'm glad to see there are slow losers out there. I haven't been sleeved long, but I know my loss will be slow. I see people moving big numbers here and I don't want to get discouraged. Sent from my iPhone using VST
  11. I believe you lose quicker the more weight you have to lose. As for age I think it may benefit the skin. But I haven't been sleeved long and I don't have as much to lose so it feels like things are going very slow to me. I'm looking forward to hearing from others too.

  13. I can "gulp" water just fine. It's not like I ran and drank a bottle of water. I drink enough to get the pill down. I'm one of those people who thinks they are gonna choke on everything..lol... I should also mention that I'm healing extremely well and was allowed soft foods the day after I left the hospital. But you will find out what works for you. I never had the gas pain everyone talks about.
  14. I take them the same way before. Gulp of fluid and then the pill. My doctor has me on one powdered medicine and some really small pills. I had to use a laxative the size of a m&m and I had No problem with it.
  15. Does someone know a good brand that I can order online? Like from Amazon. I live overseas so I can go to Walmart or any stores.
  16. I don't have a never again food list either. My doctor said anything in moderation. Can someone shine some light on this?
  17. Sorry to hear that Shaundra. I can't imagine what you are going through. Do they know the reason why the revision failed?
  18. Looking awesome! You are so tiny now!
