Hey what ever happened with this? I'm being sent for blood test because of this.

Congrats and welcome to the losers bench Check out the NJ GROUP of you haven't already! Also, RWJ Hamilton or NB?

Alli (the "FDA approved weight loss pill" blocks grease and oil from being absorbed and you poop oil ranging from mild yellow to spray tan orange. Maybe that's all but double check with your Doc (:

If it makes you feel better I my sister had a chocolate fondue party as shes leaving for college and I felt awful only 2 people came (and 1 didn't like chocolate!) I had half a strawberry, a small peice of a banana, and... 2 small chips. Dipped a little in chocolate (that has heavy cream in it to keep it liquidy, I've become lactose intolerant as well... And I was drinkin snapple not diet orangade yesterday :/ my tummy is still yelling at me! (I'm supposed to be on purée still because of the leak I had) sometimes we gotta learn the hard way! Lesson learned though!!!!

Weird, my nut suggested them mixed atleast 1:1 with water when she talked about the protein drinks n all that jazz

Yessss. Can't do any type of broth, my favorite shop rite brand iced tea tastes like over sweetened chemicals, I don't like taco meat anymore, I actually like watermelon now. I always loved! salty carbs and not a huge fan of sweets. I have no craving for salt or carbs, but like sweets now. Craving soda but when I tried to do the "sip and spit" with my beloved diet Pepsi, tasted like fungus-y (like that weird taste when you try to freeze cola yourself). Smells are awful too, certain types of chicken like Perdue pre made or rotisserie make me gag. Walking through our condo breezeway I swear I smell cat pee at the end and no one else smells it!!!!! And I always have this gross vomit taste, my nut told me that's my body in ketosis and when I catch up to the right nutrition levels (I had a lot of complications) it will stop :/ oh the things we volunteer or bodies for! Lol it'll be worth it in the end!!!!!

I do nails, swim, fb stalk lol, bug my friends, creep on this site, crochet, artsy stuff (mandalas keep me busy, 1 takes about 2-3 hours, go out somewhere, read...

I asked mine to remove it at the same time (problems and removal run in the family). He said no as double surgery =increased risk for complications. Funny part is I had a surprise 2nd surgery as I had a sever hiatal hernia that didnt show on my endo. Apparently years ago it used to be standard to remove it with wls but insurances don't cover it anymore. 2 months later, guess what had to be removed immediately? -___-

So the recipes to these? They look delicious!!!!

Head hunger has been my hardest thing to overcome, especially since my fiancé eats like crazy and my grandmother is forever telling me "just eat something already" (she knows I'm not allowed to yet and it's hard because we live with her) Have you tried talking to them? Can you walk away? I know it's hard when things smell delicious. At work can you bring sf candies to suck on? I like werthers caramel apple, sun kist orange candies, and mints (all sf!) and when I need to chew, I'll have a mambo here and there (careful they have sugar!) some like gum, but it bothers my new tummy.

I've lost 57 in 3 months but I had a lot of complications and spent a decent amount of time in the hospital on tpn (iv food). Saw my nut yesterday and she said to be extra careful because not only does it make for extra saggy skin easier, but faster losers make for faster gainers afterward because your body becomes adjusted to "starvation mode" and then starts storing everything as fat. Sometimes it pays to be the tortoise and not the hair!!

How about apple sauce or carnation instant breakfast? Making your own drinks is a fantastic idea!!! Theres a thread on here with A LOT of different protein shake recipes! I've been having a problem with quenching my thirst and my NUT said chew/suck on plain ice yesterday. are you sure it's real hunger or head hunger? You shouldn't feel hungry so soon after :/

Ugh indeed.

Mines did about 2 1/2 months out. Thought it was just stomach pain from my stent but it was really intense and felt weird, more so under my right breast. If it is really bothering you, go to the ER. You know your body more than anyone else!

Didn't find my leak until about 2 months out. I think I'm kinda a rarity so don't get freaked out by my story (: notto mention I didn't originally have one. We still haven't quite pinned why one of my staples came out and I leaked, we thing I either pushed myself too much or it was from a coughing spell thing I had (right after I was doubled over in a lot of pain)
