  1. I also highly believe this that everyone is different. As for spicy foods I not only still eat them but search out more intensely flavored food. Since the portion control will be there why not find healthy foods but with bold flavors. I never could see how some fancy restaurants have only a bite or two on the plate but now understand. Yes that could be a meal and a splendid experience. Finally, I used to be a pot a day coffee drinker and was told no more. I thought I would just go through surgery and sneak it in after. Yes I went through withdrawals and severe headaches without caffeine. But now I have not touched it since and have no cravings for coffee anymore. Hope this helped some for you.
  2. My best time is first thing in the morning, after exercise, then after two hour sauna, potty, strip bare, before any fluids or foods, spit and finally clip toe nails.
  3. Sugar Free jello, SF pudding are a couple. I used to hate it also till I found a flavor I liked. You might want to try plain doctored up or a flavored one.
  4. So what is this for, first I heard of it? Guess my Doc does not require it.
  5. Here is the bottom line that I looked at. Just how long does she think she will live at that weight. I am faced with my own mortality and explained to my doctor if I do not have it done I will die shortly. I was 505 at the time and with the surgery I would at least be trying and just may pull it off and live a long life. My Doctor and I were in complete agreement on the mortality issue. I hope she will get help and yes there are risks but what is the risk if nothing is done?
  6. One day till I get sleeved but your post just makes me want it more. Great job so far and hope I will be on the fast track soon.
  7. Have you tried the chocolate flavor? If so, how was the taste? I see they have chocolate and Dutch chocolate. Also, I would be very interested in a review on the alpine punch flavor.
  8. Not to say I would recommend but before I quit drinking I always would have a stout or lager as a choice. I had grown tired of the strong carbonation in some and found lagers to be smooth not fizzy.
  9. Hang in there, it will get easier. I had open heart surgery and spent the next 4 months in a recliner. For some reason every time I laid down it felt like I was chocking because of the pressure. But it did pass after my chest muscles healed. You to will heal and it will get better. I know you still hurt but look on the bright side. No changing or washing bed sheets for a while.
  10. Well, our family and others always jet together for a big pool party every year. I am still doing the pre-op diet so have opted to stay home. My family understood and I am grateful for that. I just need to take out triggers that have always done me in. Anyways who else is going to a cookout this year for Labor day?
  11. Prayers sent. Same here at Saint Francis the 5th. And you?
  12. Best of luck for you. The wait is almost over.
  13. I know, how about mini-me? Awesome work you have done.
