    Wls4me got a reaction from FairySleeve in What's the story behind your profile name?   
    Wls4me because one day out of frustration, after quitting weight watchers for me I said to my husband "weight loss surgery for me it is now". Not very creative
    My hooker name however: Buffy Fifth Avenue. Sounds like I'm a high class hooker ????

    As a nurse I just think it's important to make sure you can keep liquids down without difficulty before being discharged home. However long that takes.

    Wls4me got a reaction from DevilDog in Let's do Brunch, Lunch or Dinner - how do you handle it?   
    When I was early post op and went out with friends I ordered Tomato Soup. I could sip on it for a long time because "it's really hot ;)" As far as being with people that are drinking you can simply say you are watching calories and alcohol is full of calories. Or make your own virgin mixed drink and no one will know the difference. Glass of pineapple juice or cranberry juice diluted with Water if you want to cut the calories. No need to be a hermit. I'm over a year out and my husband and kids are the only one that know about my surgery. My thought is that I want to enjoy life, not hide from it because I've had a personal surgery that I don't care to share with anyone.

    If you like coffee I just found Bolthouse Farms make a coffee Protein Drink with 16g of Protein in 8oz. Also has 26g of carbs, don't know if you're worried about that or not.

    Wls4me got a reaction from woo woo in Weird respiratory illness   
    Fiddle, give your pcp a little push to be seen tomorrow. Being an ER nurse for almost 20 years I could explain the whys and hows of what the ER does and doesn't do. This isn't the time or place. Keep hydrating through tonight and make sure you get an appt tomorrow. Best wishes.

    Wls4me got a reaction from Seela in Anyone paleo? Symptoms clearing since vsg   
    I started Paleo about 3 months PO. I also have KP. I'm down 110lbs and past goal. I don't know if it's my diet or the weight loss but my KP isn't red anymore. I have it basically everywhere the sun touches my skin so it's all over. The bumps are still there but like I said, they aren't red. Paleo takes some effort and planning ahead but I feel awesome! It's also an anti inflammatory diet so that helps too.

    Wls4me got a reaction from mtnhomeeee in My hubby just told me to stop losing weight!   
    Never thought I'd hear that. He's been very supportive through all of this. I hit goal and lost another 5 lbs. I'm 5'6" and 155 lbs. my size 10 jeans are getting a little baggy. I'm happy where I'm at and am going to try to stop losing. But that was a very unexpected compliment for sure. Think that counts as a NSV.

    Wls4me got a reaction from Fiddleman in easy chicken lunch or snack   
    I bet Cajun seasoning would be good too. And you could change up the nuts, maybe walnuts for some other healthy fats. You could get really creative with just this simple recipe.

    I had IV Tylenol and had no pain. I'm an RN and our facility has been using it for a few years. Good stuff. And it doesn't slow you bowels down.

    Wls4me got a reaction from sleevethefatbehind in Didn't work for me.   
    I have read your posts and am sorry you're going through this. I can't imagine how frustrating it can be. I've also been reading the others posts and suggestions to your issue and solutions. My only question is why a sub and chips? That's a ton of carbs. I saw where you said it was the best option compared to other fast food. We all get stuck in these situations, that's life. But why not order one of their sub salads and eat the meat first? Or if you really want the sub, why the chips? Chips don't fill you up, they tase good but that's about it. Not trying to sound critical, just giving you my thoughts.

    Wls4me got a reaction from Lady VS in Goal and a little!   
    It passed goal today! Started out at 260, goal wait was 160. Last week I was 163, today … drum roll please … 159.6!!!! Holy smokies!!! I can't believe it. This is my lowest weight since middle school, I've got kids in middle school now. I never dreamed I would weigh this ever. I am so thankful for my sleeve. Definitely not an easy journey but worth the effort.
