8750, out the door is the last I've heard.

School on the weekends. Big test in my Substance Abuse class on Sunday. Experimenting with stew and chili style recipes lately.

It's all trial and error. And boy do I know it if I drink too soon after eating. Pasta doesn't sit well with me. One small bite and my meal is done. It sits like an uncomfortable brick. Just that one tiny bite!!! Even if its my first and only bite in a meal. Fried foods hurt too. I've had a lot of fun finding and creating healthier alternatives to my fave dishes that were less than stellar. That's a habit I started with Weight Watchers. Oh, and beware of the Sleeve Authority!

I went to him this past March. My experience was met and exceeded my expectations. There are quite a few threads on here with reviews, feedback, and detailed accounts. I recommend checking them out.

Yum! Thanx for the heads up! That looks yummy!

Myth. They don't "clean" your system. They dilute your urine. It's still a gamble.

Its a type of onion. Should be labeled in the produce section. I like the flavor it adds. But any onion you like is fine.

Thank you, it was quite tasty. I love Brussels sprouts.

Unless your relationship is a toxic relationship I don't think it's fair to say "settled". It seems to imply an elitist state of mind. I think it would be more apropos to say your partner isn't your best match. I say this as someone who is in a tumultuous marriage. I kept thinking I "settled". But that's not fair to my hubby. He doesn't deserve that implied insult that he is less than worthy. It just may be we are not a matched set after all. It's scary and painful to realize that. But putting him down to build me up? Not cool.

My "I Can't Believe They're Not Mine" bras have helped me perk up. Lol!

Don't blame him for not changing. You made the choice to change. He is not obligated to follow your lead. Own it. Make a choice. Except responsibility for your choices. Move forward.

I'm hoping it will offset the extra calories from biting my tongue.

I liken it to a variety of things Location in Mx being a biggie. We have 5 Walmart stores within a 15 mile radius. Prices on the same thing at each Walmart due to the poverty level in the location. Think border towns (TJ) VS resort towns (Cancun) in Mx. Same as here. Also, experience and skill. A new(er) surgeon needs to build a reputation compared to a well established surgeon. Same goes here. And competition. Again think Walmart. Price matching anyone? And venue. A full service hospital (Hospital Angeles) VS and a specialty hospital-esque clinic (Mi Doctor). Same goes here.

That seems unethical. Like stealing.

Check with your doc. I was not told I couldn't take it. I do take it only sparingly and only one 200 mg tablet, tho as I've seen so many varying opinions. But as always, check with your doc!!!

I did too. From "local" numbers. I finally told them I've been sleeved. They said to keep them in mind for plastics. Yeah. Right.

Many people have VSG surgery at Jerusalem Hospital.

There is a good chance Medical Tourism may be in my future for nips and tucks. I plan to reach out to my WLS for advisement but I plan to research on my own as well. I'm a bit of a planner so I'm researching now. I came across a very alarming article from this past July about a facility that performs both WLS and plastic surgery. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/die-cheap-plastic-surgery-article-1.1395106

About that...
