  1. Me too. I never feel like I have to go anymore and go infrequently.
  2. Sending healing vibes and prayers to you. I'm si sorry you are struggling. Hoping every day gets better.
  3. Supreme chocolate low carb protein bars taste like candy.
  4. Sizes are crazy I see people my weight who are a 12, I'm not even close. But I carry my weight in my hips ugh.
  5. You got great advice. I just wanted to say feel better and it will get better hang in there.
  6. I'm 39, I wish I had it done much sooner. It's absolutely changed my life for the better.
  7. I was in overnight. I would have preferred two nights, but in the end one night was enough.
  8. Whether or not it's more beneficial for insurance companies to cover surgery proactively rather than dealing with the costs of obesity related complications. It seems like common sense, but not all insurance believe the same thing. Or where to start coverage, would it be more beneficial to cover starting at a lower BMI? Goods luck
  9. Waving hi Sharon! I can't because I was a little lactose intolerant before and now well yeah I don't go there. I would stick to Water just because of the calories unless you just can't stand it and then you do what you have to do to get your Protein in. I prefer the RTD ones just less hassle. Swimmy
  10. Mine rose a but too, but because I went off BP meds that were causing it to go too low. That's not something I've heard happen before. Best wishes.
  11. Congrats and speedy recovery. Welcome to the bench!
  12. I agree with the above I crave healthy things now. It's much better once the limits are lifted. Then I didn't want to eat much of anything.
  13. That's awesome! Congrats.
  14. How exciting! Best wishes!
  15. I just want to say best wishes to you on your journey. I wish you much success and support. There's a lot of support and information here. It's helped me so much, good luck!
  16. I read this before and it's why I'll never touch the stuff. Doesn't sound pleasant.
  17. I wish I would have stayed calmer because when it broke I lost an average of 1 to 2 pounds everyday. I'm still losing about one a day. It was frustrating but a good lesson in patience.
  18. I have the New Whey ones from Target and Walmart. I have seen them at gnc too. I think they smell and taste a bit like amoxacillin though.
  19. My first one lasted almost four weeks starting mid two weeks out.
  20. Why can't I tolerate plain Water, is this normal? What is sliming/slimes? Symptoms of a leak/stricture? What is a stricture? Did you tell others, why? How much did you lose at 1 month ect? What can I expect to lose by x? How many days in the hospital? Best Protein shakes?
