Wait.. Who the hell is Ed?

I was sleeved a few days before you and I can eat anything too. But nothing in the amt as pre-sleeved. I kind of slipped over the weekend while on a girls weekend, but I'm trying to rail myself back on track. I refuse to fail. Need to get our minds back in the game

Trader Joes sells these in their frozen foods and they look yummy.

Congrats on your new life

Always get a second opinion.

I'm with your dr. No one should use synthroid unless it'ts absolutely needed and NEVER for weightloss. Synthroid has some serious side effects that I would never want to take chances with. Not sure what your nutritionist was thinking.. Unless you have an abnormal thyroid. Your dr knows best. Welcome to the Seattle area and there are a lot of us around the area with a couple threads going. You'll do great!

Yes! This is the attitude you need to set your self for success. I was so pumped to get going and start my new life that I felt nothing was going to get in my way. I've kept that feeling and attitude and it's been a lifesaver. Good luck!

Hope you're feeling better. Secondhand smoke can cause ulcers? I am notorious for ulcers.. this is worrisome!

Eastern Washington had real pretty and exciting storms,but flash flooding and a bit damage to the roof at my house over there

You won't know until post-op. Everyone is so different. I vacationed for two weeks as soon as I was discharged from hospital but others are unable to do anything for weeks.

I've never ever heard of this nor have I ever been asked to sign any forms on this matter. I've had several surgeries in MX. BUT, It doesn't surprise me.. Since you mentioned the surgeons name, though. SMH

Summerish time is always a tough time to gather

Sounds good. I marked my calendar. Let's see how many we can gather

Glad you recovered and that your surgeon accepted the fact of something gone/done wrong.

It can be normal. I went through a stall that lasted over 7 weeks. I didn't sweat it nd just told myself it's going to work.. And it did

Just curious, but do they check your Id or scars or what not and decide if you're part of the WLC group or what.. I mean how do they know who is who with who?

Ooooh... It's Mrs Fiddleman! Welcome and glad to see you're getting along. A get together would be good.. Just need that one person to push it into action

Sorry you are going through this and my thoughts are with you.. And hopefully they can get ahead of your issues. You mentioned you got an ulcer while in hospital? How is that?

WLS is excluded from many peoples policies... It's sad, but it's final in regards of insurance coverage. There are a few very doable and positive options out there. If you want the surgery bad enough you can find the way. Some people feel they won't be around long enough to see their retirement/investment monies due to their health .. so why not spend it on your life now? It's doable.. Good luck

Wow.. You joined 3 years ago? Have you been considering the sleeve that long?

Update.. 7 lbs to go, but will be happy if it's 10 more for good measure So happy ith my sleeve and wish I did it years go

Well.. At least people notice you lost weight. NO ONE HAS SAID A WORD TO ME. Which is kind of ok because I have a hard time with compliments.. But still! This is why I never compliment people about weight loss by saying they look great, I try to reference to how healthy they look.

Only 80lbs? Seriously.. That is a lot! I'm 8 months and not nearly at that amount. Good job everyone!

Better to catch it in the bud.. Or butt ;D

YES I'm a huge, unpaid, unsolicited, unknown, advocate for WLS in MX. Basically, because of the vast experience over state side surgeons. As patients, It's important to have extensive knowledge prior to going and it's a whole lot better with what you posted. Good job girl with blue tongue
