  1. Has anyone tried the jayy robb egg white protein powder? It has no taste and can be mixed with yogurt, soup, juice...anything you want.. I use it and I love how easy it is to add protein to my meals and drinks
  2. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you including those that help care for you. I hope your ordeal gets better everyday and you start your new healthy journey!
  3. Tiffers- what a wonderful feeling!!!! I'll be glad when they use the regular size bp cuff on me Hehe!
  4. My drs nurse suggested taking milk of magnesia to see if it helped the pain. The theory is that I introduced raw vegetables this past week and they were most likely not digesting well... Ok so I took her advice and did two days of MOM and wow my pain is gone. Thank you so much for the help,prayers, and concern.
  5. I was curious. I haven't seen any posts by our guys. I started to wonder maybe its because their hair is shorter? Idk.. I'm scared about losing mine and thought maybe I should get a short haircut. Any thoughts?
  6. All my incisions are closed. Was it an infection from the inside? Thanks for yalls help! This is so worrisome and being self pay I'm not sure who I call, my surgeon or my pcp.
  7. No, I was not checked. I was self pay and only was required to do blood work and ekg.
  8. I'm 8 weeks out and haven't had too bad of a time but two days ago I woke with Sharp pain on my left side kinda under my rib cage. I'm just praying it goes away. It hurts when moving or not moving. Blah
  9. Mmmmmm sounds really good!! Thanks for sharing Susie Definitely going to try this!!!

  12. Kwindham- please let us know how you are..*hugs*.
  13. I've been stalled since June 15th and my surgery was May 15th. I'm so ready for the scale to move again!
  14. I know... I hope both of ours get straightened out... * positive thoughts *
  15. That is so frustrating!! Ugh, I hope you get it resolved. I have to get new medical ins and needed a letter of prior coverage from my last insurance carrier and they put I had coverage for one month! I have had coverage with them for 8 years! I'm still dealing with those idiots to send me a correct letter. Good luck!!!
  16. I had an ekg with my Dr along with bloodwork etc. Xrays etc and then on the day of my preop at the hospital they ran bloodwork and did an EKG. Do you think they are referring to the hospital EKG where they are performing your surgery? Or have you already done the EKG for your pre op admin? Sorry your going thru this... Take care!!!
  17. You are a wonderful daughter, mother, grandmother and a wonderful person!! You are a blessing in the lives of others and from what I hear from you, you are strong! You have spoken about the things you want to change and you can do it. Everything you are doing is hard but oh what graces are being bestowed on you! Have faith, have faith in the Lord and yourself and success will come. Forgive yourself for being human we are all only humans and will make mistakes but remind yourself how strong and loving and giving you are to your loved ones. And remember to love yourself just as much! You are in my prayers. So glad to have spoken to you. You really are a blessing to those you love. God is here for you!
  18. Yay!!! Christine!! So happy for you
  19. Very informative! I feel better now, I have been at the same weight since June 15th... I fluctuate between 175 and 174... Somedays I could just scream but I know I'm following the plan and all I can do is keep trying... I'm smaller than when I started my journey but I'm still obese.. ill be happy to see my bmi say I'm over weight and then I pray normal!!!
  20. I'm not sure the program but there is a program to help pay for day care for people struggling aka single parents or people who aren't paid enough. Please have your daughter look into that and give yourself time to heal and also take care of your mother. You do have quite a load on you, try and ease some of it as best you can. Either way have faith and know you will get thru this , it may be a struggle most days but it is temporary. Stay strong! But do try and have some of your responsebilties lifted. I'm so sorry you are hurting! Your in my thoughts!
  21. Welcome aboard!! Also people have to remember not everyone is the same height or bone structure. I'm just 5 ft so my weight issues are a lot on such a short person. ( just saying)
