My son-in-law is 6'7" and I consider him a giant.. Which you come pretty close to matching. Is it possible the normal bougie sizes are just ridiculously too small for a person of your size?

OMG .. Laura, I decided to read some pages here and I saw you brought our fried baloney samiches to this thread! I never said I'd share

Congrats to you! It's exciting isnt it? Good job!

I was soooo ready for it! That's all I can suggest. I worried I'd never be happy without food. My world was full of food to where I had to completely reprogram my brain and rearrange my daily life. Enough was enough for me. By the time I was close to my pre-op diet I hated food so much I started my diet a few days early. From that time on I was done being fat. You have to have a mind set that works with your new tool. There's no other au to do it. Think of your doc as the coach and he's taking you off the bench to play in the world of happy healthy weight. Get your mind in the game and play it right

Yeah.. Huh uh! I don't care if the hen was a peckin' or whatever! No cock is going to talk that way without a lotta neck detachment in my chicken yard! If there is another side that beats her side.. The marriage is very questionable. I don't need the other side to know he was wrong to act that way.

Prayers your way and YES.. Definitely have some fun while you're there! And.... WALK, WALK, WALK... AND WALK some more!

I can't imagine a doc telling me that I would never be hungry once I was sleeved. That alone would be worrisome. I was never told that and I am glad. Did you go through any classes and evaluations?

Laura.. She just called us heartless!?! Oh wait.. That's fairly nice compared to what most call us

I think y'all need to measure and journal your intake and find out if you're actually over eating. Maybe you just think you are. Also, remember.. It's a tool and we have to make it work. Including reminding ourselves what and when to eat. We can't over eat if we're eating the right foods. Just from from that chnge alone our calorie intake is drastically cut. If you find you can eat more than the recommended MEASURED portions of food then maybe you do have an issue. If your not measuring your portions it's impossible to know if you're actually, in fact, over eating

I saw the "sueing" title and got all excited and then saw who the OP was and knew it wasn't a serious post. Can't outlive your rep.. Hope nothing serious happens to you that actually needs our support. Little guy who cried wolf ;P

Oops.. Didn't realize it was the vets forum. My bad!

LOL ..

That's awesome! Is that Mt Si? .. I'm looking for short hikes and this looks great Glad you enjoyed our beautiful weather this weekend!

Hmm.. Interesting!

Of course there are two sides of everything, but regardless the words out of his mouth were not ok. If he didn't want to be at Walmart.. Then he can just go commando since he had no good reason to be there? Like I said, we don't know both sides, but there are no EXCUSES for some things in life. Period.

LOL... You mean you didn't come in "carrying a big stick to beat the dead horse" ?

I can't tell you anything useful to answer your question, but I want to say CONGRATS! Children are beautiful in life.. I love 'em!

I'm not going to read through the thread at what I missed. No need, since I know too well I'll have to say something and sometimes things are better off without my two cents. Plus.. I'm too lazy Marvelous Monday morning too y'all

Welcome to the nonlurkers side of things. Now, you can begin a healthy journey with the support from us all. Good luck!

Well look at you, girl.. You just went from 662 to 262 in less than an hour! Pretty sure that beats all

What channel do you find those types of shows?

Me too.. I even watch it at the gym

I did when I had the flu a couple months out and I didn't have any issues. not sure what your doc says though.

I buy my stevia in a huge bag at Walmart. It's worth in in my opinion. Refined sugar or artificial sweetner isn't good at all

My surgeries were all the same except for one. One I had gas pains in shoulder so bad I thought someone shot me. Other than that I was up and about within hours and back to normal life (except lifting restrictions and eating) BUT... That's not a norm. Some are a lot worse and some are mild recovery. It just depends
