  1. They are about the same.. I don't think either one is worse than the other.. At least that's my opinion on it :-)
  2. Ha! Funny stuff! I had some in between sizes to wear so I wasn't wearing the original ones! I finally ran out of them and had to buy new :-)
  3. Had to breakdown and buy some new pants today! I am down 62 lbs since July.. I bought a 12/14 down from a 20/22!!! I wasn't even embarrassed to put it up on the check out counter for people to see!! Hehe!
  4. I had to have my thyroid removed 12 yrs ago and have taken Synthroid ever since. I had the same fears that you have but so far everything's going great. I had my sleeve surgery on July 9 and have lost 65lbs and feel fantastic!!! I could never have lost so consistently without this surgery..
  5. I take these.. One chewable twice a day.. There's 60 in the bottle..Walmart and cost $9.99
  6. Here's what I take everyday.. No nausea with these..
  7. You will do great!!! First couple months are the hardest and at times you will have remorse but it is sooo worth it!! Good luck!!
  8. I lost 8 on preop and the rest since my surgery back on July 9th :-)
  9. I bought a new shirt today and it was a Lrg, not an XXL, not an XL but a freaking Large!!! There is no way to describe that feeling! I am so thankful I had this surgery because it gave me my life back. I am 16 weeks post-op and down 62lbs! I have 40 more to go! I can't wait!!
  10. The water made me really nauseous too so my doctor let me drink tea with sweet and low! It has really helped me.. I'm 4 months out and down 56lbs and don't get nauseous from water anymore but I don't like the taste of plain water it helps to be able to drink tea..
  11. I had to have my thyroid removed 12 yrs ago and have taken meds to replace the lost hormones ever since. I had the same fears that you have but so far everything's going great. I had my sleeve surgery on July 9 and have lost 55lbs and feel fantastic!!!
  12. I hear ya girl! it's not fraud if you have been overweight the entire time! You are just documenting it after the fact. You never said anything about making up information! I know some insurance companies are stricter than others. I see no problem with writing down from memory all of your weightloss attempts...
  13. Prilosec is the only thing that works for me. You might try it..
  14. You're welcome and it works wonders for me!!!
