I'm thinking that's your answer! Exercise is critical for weight loss even more for maintenance , develop good habits now = eat more later!!

Wow good for you. Guess that's why he is the doctor and they are the ASSIstants! Keep sipping and rest. Welcome to the losers bench!

Sweet, I was at the gym and cried like a school girl when I saw 199,I haven't been there since Nixon was president. Btw I'm a dude = no crying especially in gym locker room. Keep up the hard work you should be proud!

Sounds like you already did something drastic! Size 24 to a 16 certainly is drastic. Stay the course your doing great!

NICE!!!!!

Diameter is only part of the volumetric equation , length is what gets overlooked. I don't think I would feel so good about a doctor who uses one size bougie and even less for a doctor who let me pick!

Up the protein ante and add chick peas /garbanzo bean

That's cause "what goes wrong in Mexico stays in Mexico" sorry had to swing at that

Why push your luck? I wouldn't !

I guess they pay they make the rules . Sux!

There are no "very good Christians" no not one ,that's why we need a savior! I was led to Christ by a guy I met at an aa meeting 15 years ago! Funny thing was I asked him the same question you pose, he suggested that it only had to be higher than me (no pun) like the group,or somebody who wasn't drinking , it seems that the intention was not to force God on people, but rather introduce a concept to the recovering person ---OTHERS --- the aa writings expose the root of most of our troubles grew out of our self centered attitudes. All the steps speak to this. Jmo. We can only keep what we have by giving it away!

I kinda thought that was a comorbidity that helped move you through the process faster, especially a new diagnosis that the ins co has not had to pay for any equipment yet.losing weight resolves this for a lot of people.

Wow bean my childhood was similar I was reading this and remembered how dreadful it was to go anywhere in elementary school , "ok line up tallest in front" or "tallest in back".Everywhere we went I had to walk next to Lisa coal ,so skinny we called her coal the pole. Must have looked like the old hamburger and hotdog!!

Early out it seems like an expense because we use a lot of protein but no groceries so it's a win there. We should have been taking vitamins anyway so that's a wash in my opinion,when eating out I usually eat an app. For an entree - I suppose that's about 50% less. I'm not taking the ten to fifteen alieve liqugels I was before surgery that was getting expensive so I was going to Costco for the paint can size bottle, big savings there (my back & hip pain has subsided a lot since surgery) my wife is frugal and questions a lot of purchases that I make , I do all grocery shopping, (and cooking ,aka I control my diet) and my standard answer has become " it's cheaper than a heart attack" she is getting it. The 20 or so pounds she has lost by osmosis since my surgery has helped win her to my side!

Probably not, try miso soup. What became my rule of thumb was if it tastes "good question it"!

Ding ding. Door prize. For me nuts were never a problem ,eating the whole can, bag, or jar was!! I uses to laugh at those 90 calorie bags now I'm counting almonds!

I beg on behalf of men worldwide please, please rethink that!

The B A vitamins were making me sooo sick , but I'm a dummy it took a few weeks to figure it out . I take source of life chewable vitamins and split the dose am/pm and feel great . I have even converted my wife who always "encouraged"me to take vitamins pre-op. my 6 month blood work was perfect. They have a women's formula I notice it's low in icalcium and vit d but that is covered with calcium powder or chewies. Good luck and feel better!

I'm 10 months out. Exercise.

Sleeved in dec ,vision has gotten worse I had eye exam last week and need reading glasses as well as stronger script for distance. I asked dr could it be related to wls or rapid weight loss She couldn't say for sure ,"wait what is a vertical sleeve gastrectomy" ?
