I stopped drinking Cokes

I'm wondering why you are doctor hopping? It's important to have one PCP that can clearly keep track of your health conditions, medications, tests, referrals, etc. I would suggest finding ONE doctor that you like and trust and stick with him/her. I manage a group of PCP's and trust me, they would rather deal with a complex case than try and piece it all together from different doctors/sources when something goes wrong. It really is for your benefit- they are there to help. I'm sure everything will work out just fine for you. Best wishes!

Never know what you might find in here.

You look great! Thanks for sharing.

Hely has a Facebook page with lots of good recipes. It's "Hely LB" on Facebook.

Way to go!

Hanging out in the powder room, huh?

I have a terrible time with chicken, sticky rice and sushi. I don't eat bread at all.

Mine was pretty basic actually. She asked about my support system, family history and reasons why I wanted the surgery. I was in and out in about 20 minutes. I would just be honest and open- they are there to help. Good luck!

Today is a new day. Start over and don't look back. You got this and we're here for you.

"But I want to feel sexy naked people" Heck yeah sister!

That's great! Nothing like a good love story.

Tylenol, SF Jello and a nausea wrist band were my items of choice. A nurse at the hospital put one of those Sea Bands on me in the recovery room and it really did work. I thought it was kind of strange at first, but it does work. Best wishes to you!

Actually yes! I thought it was just me, but I do get headaches after fills and sometimes after eating. Strange!

I took Topamax for 2 weeks, which made Coke taste terrible and also helped with caffeine headaches. It worked for me.

I have heard that Diet Dr. Pepper tastes pretty good, but honestly I would try to stop drinking them entirely. I had to have medication to get me off the Cokes, but it worked and I've never gone back. If you get banded, carbonation isn't good for you anyway. Just my thoughts. Good luck to you!

So awesome! Congrats!

shirataki noodles?

I ordered some PB2 and it's pretty good stuff!

You are NOT alone! According to your ticker, you have already lost 43 pounds. That is great!! We all have bad weeks, but don't let it discourage you and don't look back. Tomorrow is a new day pretty lady. You got this.

I would say you'd be screwed.

Try some hot tea.

I dig it! Way to go!

Amazing!! Congrats!
