State if you exercised or not? Thank you.

Congrats! I couldnt help but notice Kitty's face. Like "Meooooooooow." *frowny face*

Ugh, I always get this section and the general section confused. Lol.

Almost twenty pounds down, that sounds good enough to me.

Was the fuzzy navel (giggles) protein clear? Is it clear liquids or liquids/liquid like, because I know I can't see through any apple cider or yogurt lol. Is it yes to proteins shakes? I know every doctor is different on their guidelines.

I bought some broth. I have to give that a try. I am going to try and do a one day liquid diet every week until I can try and build up.

How much did you lose? I have to find my papers with information that was given to me to see what the "liquids" consisted of, although I don't think it was listed. I notice some people were allowed yogurt during this phase. Anywho, how much did you lose and what was allowed?

I'm 281 today. When I was interested in wls I was around 292. I'm 5'6. I was 300 in August. I plan on getting a bike soon so I can be active and work out. My goal is to lose at least twenty prior to my surgery in July.

Is Biotin not working for you?

Oh ok. I'm in NYC, and for whatever reason, I think our portions might be bigger. I dunno. Nom nom nom. Ugh, now I'm more hungry.

I'm going to look into the skinny girl drinks. I heard they were good because they are suppose to be lower calorie. My tolerance is what I'd consider low since I don't hardly drink. I would say though, that I might take advice that I have heard, and try my first post op drink at home so I know how I would feel. Funny thing is what I would drink while outside is not what I would drink inside. I am no bartender and I would usually drink a apple martini, a long island, patron, or incredible hulk at a club. That was about two years ago. The last thing I had was a irish cream after Christmas. We shall see.

For the most part I have always known how my stomach felt when it was content, full, and uncomfy. Before the real question is did my head listen to my stomach. Since December when I told myself I would do this surgery I have been listening to my stomach almost 100 percent of the time. I have only gotten uncomfortable a few times. Now I am more aware of my limits. I can chew one piece forever! One pack of trident could last me for days. For me it is almost impossible for me to swallow gum because I always new it wasn't good for me to do that.

Congrats on all of your surgeries. I decided that I will get the surgery I originally wanted. Take care now.

I know right?! How much gum pieces are you eating? Lol. Reminds me of the days of the GIANT sour balls. I only chew trident. Sugarfree is the only gum I buy. I've been chewing gum for YEARS! A great treat for me when I want something sweet and helps me avoid actually eating something sweet. Also great when cooking. Keeps your finger out of the pot. Lol.

I hardly ever use straws since most of my drinks are from a large water bottle. Gum for me is a food suppressant. I havent had any in awhile, almost a month ago. I could go hours without food if I have gum, and that may sometimes be a bad thing, but usually I am chewing gum while I am on the road.(OP) Good luck with whatever you choose.

Getting a CL bike is a great idea. I've been looking high and low for a cruiser on mine. Nothing but old ones being sold. No can do.

Who swallows gum? How does one accidently swallow gum? That idea sounds like complete hogwash. I probably was six the last time I chewed gum. I need my gum. So if I have bad breath I'm suppose to have stanky breath? No way. Lol.

When can you start chewing gum again?

I know it's the bubbles that is supposedly the problem, but an alternate for the aspertamed diet drinks is perhaps a seltzer water with a pinch of lime, or a juice? I am sure citrus might not work for everyone but just an idea to try if you HAVE to have something with bubbles. I like selter, but my drink of choice when outdoors, or going to a store is usually a low cal gatorade, or a large bottle of water. i can't remember the last time I had a diet or even a full cal soda.

So my boobies have always been big, and not perky. My girls are a 42G at the moment. I want to hear from women who didn't have perky boobies. When you lost your weight from your boobs, did the skin/breast get smaller? Like draw up? Or did it just stay whereever they were and look more and more deflated? I hope I'm wording this right. For example, when I was 90 lbs smaller they were a 38DDD. It appeared that they got smaller, like there was less meat in each booby, but it didn't look deflated. So it would seem as if the skin retracted as well. I can't say it will do that at 150 lbs, but I want to have an idea. I know I'm going to want a lift regardless, but just curious as to what my boobies would look like.

Theres a plus size section on a bike forum. I believe the site is bikeforum.net. Google it. There's a section with a horse name to it, I forgot, but they have info for people that are bigger and want great bike recommendations. Also google :Bikes for bigger people. I believe the cheapest I've seen was about 500 that was made to fit someone over 300 lbs.

On my fb I decided to post that I was getting it done. I don't know how many people paid attention or cared, but I put it out there. For people that I'd actually see, if I like them, and they ask I'd tell them. People that I might hardly speak to or just talking with to be nice, I'd tell them diet and exercise or eating less depending on which I do.

Thank you.

I think I naturally have big feet. It's in the blood. I would at least like to go back down a size before baby.

Yea, I'm going to do what I need to do to get protein when I need. I'm not even listening to her. She rubbed me wrong, but that's a long story. Lol.
