What did I do?!?! I'm just sipping my hot decaf green tea while thinking about dark chocolate chip cookies.

If you wrote a horror story you would have been yelled at for maligning the character of someone's beloved surgeon. You will never make them all happy. Just do what you're doing and remember once you engage a troll its hard to disengage them. Resist taking the bait if at all possible... Stick around and sip some water.

Not to be redundant but I agree with the other responses. I chose Mexico too, Dr. Aceves, and of course his team and coordinators would sing his praises. I wanted to hear the play by play from patients. The good and the not so good if it applied. Reading those experiences was helpful and comforting. When I had my surgery in March I made sure to pay it forward and share the deets hopefully to comfort and reassure those who needed it like I did once upon a time. I've received do much positive and grateful feedback from ppl who read my experience. It is very rewarding.

Hooray for you. I'm happy things went well.

It makes me nauseous. If I drink too soon after eating I feel very sick to my stomach. Gagging and whatnot.

A reverse thread hijack? Lol!

I've been daydreaming about a sexy convertible or a motorcycle or Vespa. And cruise along Lake Erie... It's nice having a Great Lake if there is no ocean nearby. Yes, I said Vespa! Lol!!

That would be an amazingly fabulous and free feeling! How exciting indeed. Cruising along the coast with the sun and the sea? You'll need a fashionable scarf and large sunglasses, a la Marilyn Monroe.

Sigh... Wouldn't that be a great Sunday? Especially for a landlocked Ohioan.

That sounds scary. I hope you've had, or have one scheduled, a full blood panel done to check your levels. Who will counsel and keep VST in line if you're not tip top? All teasing aside, take good care of yourself.

Sure thing... Let me just book a flight for about $500... With the time difference it would be more like a late lunch! Lol!

I just wanted to share my tasty and easy to make Breakfast wrap. 1 Eggland's Best Cage Free brown egg 1oz Oscar Meyer's Carving Board ham 1 slice Kraft 2% American cheese 1 Buena Vista low carb tortilla 8 inch I use Smart Balance nonstick butter spray to toast the tortilla in the pan and keep the egg, which I make over hard, from sticking. I use the nonstick spray when browning the ham. I toast the tortilla. Set it on the plate. Place the cheese on the tortilla Cook the egg over hard, then place it on the cheese. Brown the ham and place it on the egg. I've also made it with crumbled turkey sausage. It takes me about an hour to eat it and its very filling. 20 grams of Protein and 6 net carbs.

Pasta doesn't sit well. I'm still reluctant to try bread or rice. I'm going on 3 months postop.

And you rhymed again! You're a poet but don't know it!

Lmao!

Lol! If it ain't broke....

The elliptical is easy on the joints but hell on calories. It's butt kicking cardio and I love/hate it!

Syntrax, unjury and Isopure are zero carbs.

The premixed drinks seem to be higher in carbs. Would a blender bottle work for you?

Tortilla chips went down effortlessly. As do the Special K cracker chips. I stopped buying them.

I like Powerade Zero. Vitamin Water Zero. Smartwater.

My fam will no doubt enjoy the added bonus of more leftovers too! And I ate lettuce on my soft taco with no issues. I'm thinking of trying a small salad now.
