Interesting point...however everyone needs to eat..no one needs to drink alcohol

Reading all of this I came upon one of the best ever lines.."Morbid obesity ain't for sissys" Oh yes!!

My nut says whey is better...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Yes, getting below 300 is a BIG deal... I feel your joy! I'll look forward to seeing your "I just went under 200' post... But for today, WOW! Congratulations. Well Done!

Thanks for our response...I travel a couple of times a week...an though some TSA folks are nice, others are not.... Hopefully I won't be setting the machines off....

Hi...I was surprised by your reference to staples causing a problem getting through TSA...first I have heard of this...where did you learn this???? Thanks

Unjury has a protein powder chicken soup that can be ordered on line...

Honesty is the best policy...but if that doesn't work for you...when asked what the surgery is for, a woman can say "female problems"... typically people (especially men)won't ask more questions.

I know part timers at Lowes and Starbucks who have insurance

Very cool. Very smart.

Great article. Thanks!

Tiffykins, I love reading your postings...alwas helpful, always intelligent. Thanks!

Your English is great...don't apologize...keep writing and letting people know how you are doing. 90 kilos is 198 pounds... so you are on the path to losing that extra weight. Like Jean told you...sip...walk...sip.. and get that protein in so you body will heal. Greg

Hi, Glad you made it through and are home recovering. The "too big liver" sounds like they didn't have you on a pre-op diet... Now that you are home..time to drink water and protein...there are lots of great ideas here on how to get that protein in... Blessings as you begin this new life.

BIG steps..congratulations... What does Kim say counts as full liquids? And, how long before moving to more solids?

Good luck with it...

There are lots of brands...I compared and found that they are not all created equal. Some are high in carbs, others low in protein. The one I eat has 24 grams of protein in 140 calories. This is far different than the Yoplait Light I used to eat...

I've used a CPap for a couple of years...yes difficult at first..but now I love it. I use a gel mask which covers only my nose...it is soft and comfortable. The noise is much like a white noise machine...soothing. I would encouage you to find a mask that is comfortable, and stick with it. It has changed my life for the better... but like most things worth doing..it takes time. Blessings

GREAT advice!

200 pounds in a year....is that possible?... what's your starting weight?

Thanks for your reply and for the information. Appreciated. I wish you well as you prepare for your surgery.

You two certainly have my prayers...Thanks for todays updates...I've been thinking about...God bless

Hi...Good luck with the pre-op diet...I am also in Illinois...where are you going to have your surgery? Why did you choose your surgeon? Thanks...

Big progress begins with one small step... I admire what you are doing and will check our the 10 minute trainer myself...

I got a great digital scale on line...I needed one designed to weigh people over 350 pounds...love it. Tanaka brand from Japan...also weighs in kilos...you choose...and it remmebers what I weighed last week when I weighed in. The reading shows both. Very cool.
