  1. What ? Let me guess every time you say DR stowers wou get five bucks? I did some research, like you suggested, my conclusion is you work at my bariatric solutions and you are mexican! I think you are full of stinky stuff!!!
  2. Ok I gotta say it. MYOB. If she wanted you to know she would have told you! And if she were a close friend you should have blasted her disrespectful privacy invading child also! Just my opinion .
  3. This happened to me, lasted 4-5 months,and still does if I drink cold in the am ,I am an herbal tea expert now!
  4. Sweetie look at the positive. You lost 25 lbs and didn't gain it back! That alone is a victory for most of us!!!
  5. My son was 20 months when I was sleeved there was baby food but I couldn't eat it , earths best sweet potato cinnamon bisque was tasty though!
  6. Let me go ax my mudder!
  7. diced avocado ,salt ,pepper ..... Scooped up with reduced fat triscuits ........ Hey now, good fats,protein,fiber from whole grain. There is some debate at our house if this constitutes a meal? It's enough for me !
  8. I think for most people who can attribute their obesity to volume overeating 8 oz would be significant restriction! Bougie size is only part of what determines stomach size , length is just as important and sleeving does not change that. Not to sound cold but, it's done ! Start filling up on lean protein rock that mutha. Btw I can eat 8-10 oz of yougart but barely 4 of chicken different foods fit better (sliders) so don't be discouraged! The straw theory sounds funny perhaps your nut doesn't burp!
  9. Thanks ,I have destroyed both hips and one knee carrying my old self around ,so big for so long, so the running is out for me for now, I can't pedal a bike, yet ,but my ortho says he has a guy with two riding well over 100 miles a month, I'm scheduled for first hip in October , just trying to do what I can. Thanks for your help !!
  10. I was a huge coke drinker. Also a huge coke user (a long time ago in a far off galaxy). Wait don't judge let me finish......I remembered something I heard at a 12 step meeting "try our way for 90 days if you want your old life back it will be there waiting for you" so knowing they would be making coke well into the future I promised 90 days to myself and haven't looked back.90 days out fat was dripping off me like a pig in an oven and I wasnt gonna mess that up . Now I honestly see it for what it is 12 teaspoons of sugar in a can with bubbles and some other crap, gotta pass on that. I guess it comes down to this "nothing is going to change till ya change it" . so to answer your question yes you can; taper off , Water it down , cold turkey. Just decide you will stop and make a plan!
  11. For my swansong I went to white castle the night before surgery! EPIC FAILURE!!!
  12. Ok I have been eating turkey bacon for 6 months,and gettin a lot of heat about it, wifey used to try to get me to eat it but I always resisted,"real men don't eat fake bacon" - "turkey bacon and jap bikes what's next socialism?" so I fry up a pound of Oscar Meyer thick cut and go for it ...... Let me tell you i am Repulsed to eat it , pizza was the same, as soon as I see the grease on my fingers it's over, I have had windows open for 2 days and swear I can still smell bacon. I guess the pendulum has swung!
  13. Sweetie that's .75 lbs per day average ! That's awesome keep doing what your doing . Be diligent with your food and exercise journal so if loss isnt consistent your nut has facts not best you can remember. If you bite it write it! Oh one more thing, start weighing once monthly you will always see scale moving down!
