Cookeezz post intelligent, thoughtful responses and at the same time is funny and compassionate. That is a rare gift.

I just decided that i will shellac my nails as my reward when i am 199. I'm 212 now. I've been searching for something and this is it!! Thanks!

BTB, the one consistent thing about this surgery and all it entails is how different every person and their plan is. Its a bit freaky for something so scientific (the surgery) to be so different at the same time. It must drive the people who are studying this nuts. :-)

Awesome! I'm going to buy some. Thanks!

Is that the same as the fake nails? They cover your nails?

You need to take something. Many of us take something regularly as proactive. I use Miralax. But you have to make sure you drink your Water with this one. Do a search on this. There are some really good answers on here. Good luck!

Take a picture or two and print it. Make a hard copy. Look at yourself that way for awhile. Your brain has a much easier time of adjusting to a solid pic that the reflection in the mirror.

I still have mixed feelings and am figuring out how i want to eat. I like the low carb- atkins diet plan. Breads never excite me. But fats do! Butters, creams, cheeses, all that yummy stuff is zero or low carbs. And my weight loss is in a stall right now. Major stall. I had let more carbs creep in and maybe that's what is slowing down my weight loss. But regardless, I agree that once we hit maintaince we dont have to deprive ourselves. But with 100 pounds to lose, yeah, i do still think i need to 'diet'. I sure could be wrong though!!!

Drugstore? Grocery store? Or some place classier? Thanks!! :-)

I wouldn't say that i'm eating TOO fast. Just faster. It now takes me 30 minutes to eat instead of an hour. . It's kinda nice. I just wondered if when veterans eat too fast, but don't overeat, if their tummy is ok.

Breath! Calm down. :-). You probably pulled at your incision stitches. You can't spring a leak in your new tummy by lifting a few boxes. So keep an eye on your incisions for discharge. Oh, and you will prob hurt more tomorrow.

Hi! With all the great nutrients my nails are growing long & strong. I've always kept them short bcs they broke easily. But i'm rethinking that. Can anyone recommend a good nail polish that won't peel off in a few days? I haven't worn nail polish in years! Thanks.

Huge change!! WTG!! Rock that sleeve!

I still can't tolerate shrimp and i was sleeve 8/21. It's just too chewy for me. All the other fish are my main meals bcs i don't eat red or any processed meats.

Chinawood, it has happened to MANY of us. No worries but do check w your doc if it gets out of hand. You don't want to become anemic.

Viactiv has Calcium carbornate. i am looking for calcium citrate. Bummer bcs yeah, the Viactivs are yummy! Thanks!

Wow!! It Really shows, esp in your legs. Congrats!

Is that online? I'm waiting for some samples from a Bariatric place online. I don't shop a lot online but may need to make an exception to get my powders and Vitamins. Thanks!

Anyone have a good brand with Calcium Citrate w Vit D? Thanks!

LOL!! Adorable!!
