The Label reads LARGE
My kid is in the military and left stuff that's stored. I was instructed to throw everything away except for a compound bow case. I found 2 really heavy duty warm carrhart type coats. Seriously warm. I washed them up, dried them and tried them on. They both fit and both labels read Large!!! I'm still just over 200 lbs. what a victory! Now I will round up my big coats and give them to a homeless shelter. Score! Happy 2015! It's January kids, I know many of you have your January dates, how exciting!!!

Alcohol as a social activity / Cash pay patients
I've drank wine and hard liquor, no difference whatsoever. Just the usual headache after 2 drinks. 3 drinks have been my limit. Not even tipsy.

Click espresso protein drink
While looking up Chike on Amazon I read the reviews for Click. Considerably cheaper than Chike and the reviewers are raving about it. Anyone bought this stuff? 14 servings of Vanilla Latte is $17.77. Thoughts?

No caffeine ever?
If you goggle about coffee and dehydration, you have to ingest a Lot of coffee in order for it to be dehydrating. I drink one to two cups a day of regular coffee.

Horrible eating over Christmas

Raw fruits & veggies
I've only had trouble with seafood. Salmon (gag) shrimp and 3 bites of deep fried cod. I can tolerate everything else. No problems at all with raw veggies, salad, lucky me!

Tummy tuck veterans

I feel like a deflating balloon!
Who would have thought saggy skin and a turkey neck would be a beautiful thing? Considering I was working on my 14th chin...lol...I LOVE the turkey neck. My upper thighs have bought the farm though. Glad from the knee down aside from fall incidents they look pretty good.

I'm 8 mths plus post op. I've lost 104 lbs. each of my shoulders hurt when I lay down on them. Is it lack of padding (fat)?

Abuse of wls..when it's not needed
I don't understand the uproar! I was told that if I lost too much weight on the six month supervised diet I might not be eligible for surgery per insurance.

My last supper
A little testy are we? If you don't want others advice...don't post. I thought I knew it all going in. Then I had the surgery and had to live it while trying to pull my foot out of my mouth. Best of luck

Gas
My ex sil had bypass and idk if she at wrong but the gas that she readily and frequently and with no shame was horrendous. That was one of the reasons I had VSG. Oh my it's been years since of seen her. Being in a closed vehicle was torture. She farted majorly every 5 minutes. A 2 hr drive?!!!
-
Abuse of wls..when it's not needed
I wonder the same thing. I'd chew off my arm to weigh 200 lbs. I can't believe insurance even covers that. Hell, I was 312 and STILL had to jump thru hoops. My bmi was over 50!!!
-
My last supper
You aren't saying goodbye but next go around...you'll actually TASTE what little you CAN eat. There were a few "must haves" the rest the garbage I used to shovel in held no temptation.

Holiday meals - how do/did you handle it?
All I wanted for Cristmas was a can of blue diamond almonds, lol. I got those and a gift card to Tim Horton's (for coffe)...SCORE!!!

I had a taco. Sort of
I keep my carbs low enough I can spurge on a little taco shell, bread or pasta. The only thing that gives me cravings is straight up sugar added products. I avoid them as much as possible.
