B-52, I must tell you I have been SECRETLY admiring you for months on this forum. I love your posts- each and every one of them. You have a way with words.... And I love that you are always so B-52!!! XOXOXOXO

God bless that little mouth!! Hahahaha (sorry)

theres an app for that

LoL. Nothing happened I was just wondering if I rubbed anyone the wrong way so I can TURN IT UP. Hahahaha!! ((kisses))

I can't find it, but for your benefit, I will continue to look

makes "TOTAL" sense... Except you are already reducing your calories so much after surgery. I think (and this is just MY opinion) that there's a time for EVERYTHING and post opt is a time to get your required nutrition ANYWAY POSSIBLE. You will be surprised, you can still reach ketosis with the shakes. I will post a link to a thread where I discuss just that. I found my ketostix bottle and just because there was just ONE left, I tested my urine and guess what..... I was in KETOSIS!!!!! And I was already more than a month post op eating regular foods. Let me go find it

I doubt it. I'm not 100% sure because when I was on pre and post op I wasn't really minding the sugar/calories since I was ALREADY getting so little. Why are you concerned about "sugar free" are you diabetic, or you just want to eliminate all sugar?? I'm a "low-carber" which essentially IS (or should be sugar free) but when I get fills or I just want to up my protein intake, I use Boost and just "forget" about the sugar for those few days.

wasn't it YOU I rubbed legs with under the table the other day??!! No? Ok' date=' never mind! thats what I keep asking myself. Lmao!

doing great! I lost 2 lbs since I was emptied. Go figure!! not at all... You're always "in-line" LoL

Boost High Protein tastes great. Try that if you haven't tried it yet

hahahaha!! I'm working on it

That's it ^^^^ that's my post!!!! Well, do I?? (LoL)

Hubby and I want to date online too. LoL!!!

Feel better soon!!

I'm SO close!!! Even with an empty band (2days only)

What about a balance scale like they use in doctors' offices?? LoL Only thing I can recommend is if you have dumbbells, keep them close by and test the scale's accuracy before you weight. If its a little off, you can +|- the pounds to YOUR final number.

Try looking in organic stores for something you can use

Doing better and STILL focused even with an empty band. I lost two pounds on an empty band and I'm fast approaching wonderland. When I DO reach it, it will be a great accomplishment because I know some people start gaining right way. Thanks!!

*WAVES THE CONSPIRACY THEORIST'S FLAG* Consumers are being bombarded with genetically modified organisms and we don't even have the right to choose because the powers that be don't make labeling GMOs mandatory. I wouldn't trust "studies" done by the same people who are producing this venom/poison, and I wouldn't trust the government who's in the pocket of said people.

Congratulations to BOTH of you on your perseverance!!

You wanna get there FAST? Read my "Homei Dont Play That" post

How sweet can y'all be?! ! XOXOXOXOX

I think this is the best one yet: I'm no longer the LAST to be ready when we are getting ready for any particular outing because I don't have to try on 50 different combination to end up wearing the same pants I did the day before. And that's considering I STILL haven't gone clothes shopping, so all I have is the big stuff I've been wearing, the ones I've had a chance to take in, AND THE ONES THAT DIDNT FIT YET!!!! Today I waited for hubby outside and asked him if he was ready about 5 times.

I'm glad you know, Carol, and I would go to them (and DO) in a heartbeat again (for anything other than bariatrics) but to be HONEST... They should have been better prepared.... They HAVE a weigh loss program there O_O Teaching patients to do unfilled is NOT a good idea... I'm sure you know WHY
