    Stupid Candy!

    2 snack size kitkat. I'm worried I didn't feel sick at all. I wanted it to so I would be afraid to do it again.
  2. I am 7 weeks out and woke up this morning with a head cold that has me asking why I came to work. I can't take anymore time off since I took it off for the surgery. I have a call into the DR. but I wanted to know what over the counter meds you guys have taken for a head cold. Sinus pressure head ache and sore throat. I did take Tylenol this morning for the headache but it didn't do anything.
  3. I can see a difference not much but at least something.,
  4. I was sleeved 9/5 at Boston medical but grew up in Cambridge and had 2 kids at ny auburn. If you need and advice let me know.
  5. I've never had one in my life and now I keep getting them since about a week out of surgery. I started to take the biotin 2xs a day after surgery. It's so painful. I hated to ask because I was embarrassed but its just getting worse. I have an appt tomorrow with my primary thought I would throw it out there. You guys usually have the answers. I googled it but not much info.

    Booting/boils

    Just got back from the Dr. She said it looked very angry (just what I thought) She said it didn't look infected but since it is a cluster and she felt 7 marble size balls she decided to put me on Antibiotics. If it doesn't clear up in 5days I have to go back and have it drained. She also said it was common since my immune system was effected by the surgery. She did say to stop the Biotin until it clears up. Since it's on my inner thigh if it gets close to the hair folicals I'm screwed. So if you guys are having this go to the Dr. soon.

    Booting/boils

    I knew they were spreading. It just seems like once it popped another one would come.

    Booting/boils

    I hope I don't get that. I've never had acne not even through puberty. Everyone always complemented me on my skin. I guess this is pay back.
  9. I just had my sleeve but I've had 3 girls before the sleeve. If you are nursing that helps. Also as soon as you can start working out and wear a girdle to tighten your stomach area while its healing. That's what I did anyway. Focus (I know you do) on that cutie and you won't think.so much about the food. Enjoy her while she's little the time passes so fast.

    Booting/boils

    New grandmother how are you dealing with it. I've been putting warm.clothes and caster oil on them for the swelling until it pops. Then another one comes in like a day in a different spot.

    Booting/boils

    I'm not sure. I'll find out tomorrow I guess. Once one goes away another one comes. This one feels like 7 marbles in a row.

    Booting/boils

    When I went for my follow up my Dr said they would go away and to follow up with my primary if the got worse. I'm going to my primary tomorrow. It's so bad I'm having a hard time walking. My legs have never been big but the are on my inner thigh area. When I've lost weight in the past I never had this. I can't work out it hurts to walk it even hurts to sit.
  13. What a cutie. Congratulations. I wish you and your family the best.

    Tattoo's

    Does anyone know how long we have to wait to get one? I have one that I really regret. I got it when I was 18 and dumb. Now that I can see it I need to get something done to it. I don't want anymore just to get this stupid thing fixed. The only good thing that came from it is that I have girls and non of them want a tattoo because of how stupid I was.
  16. This is my first time back to work and ordering with everyone. I felt really good being able to join in and not feel like I am so restricted. I just chose healthy and ate a small portion. We can get back to normal. This was a huge salad. I will be 7 weeks tomorrow. This is what I ordered Grilled Chick Salad w/ff feta This is what I ate from that. It took 35 min to eat.
  17. It was only 1strip I cut it really small and took my time. Once I heard the gurgling I stopped eating. Now I put my timer for 45min so I can drink. I'm finding it easier at work than at home.

    Coffee

    I have been having Ice coffee every morning for the past 2 weeks. It helps me with my energy and gets everything moving (if you know what I mean) I haven't had to take the miralax or anything. I love it my NUT and DR said no problems just drink plenty of water through the day.

    Surgery Today!

    hope for a speedy recovery...
  20. You and I are almost the same. Sw 242lb 9/5 Today 215 I'm ok with it. Just think your skin is having time to catch up with your weight loss. I'm going to start to go hard at the gym this week. Let's see if that works if not I'm ok I'm just a slow looser.
  21. When did you start getting rid of your clothes? Sleeved 9/5 down 2 sizes but still afraid of letting go. Thinking about all the times I failed and want to hold on just in case.
  22. I'm in too. First one. 242 sw sleeved 9/5 218 cw I'll try for 205. I hope I'm nut setting myself up.
  23. I keep getting these shooting pains in my lower right side of my back. Please tell me I just slept wrong. I googled it and and some of the problems are dehydration and kidney stones. Any have this? I was six weeks out yesterday. I thougt I was drinking plenty of water. I get in usually 60- 80oz of water a day and that doesn't count the protein shakes and other things that include liquid. I had my eggs this morning so I'm waiting to drink. I will just drink all day and see if it goes away..
