I will have a bite of everything. Ham, swt potatoes, green bean cass., organic raspberries in jello pretzel salad, taco salad.. That's what I'm bringing not sure what everyone else is adding. HAPPY EATER.. hahaha.. Auto complete did that! happy EASTER everyone

Too funny, Fid Man.. I was just at the Market last week and was drooling over those.. And the other Texas size donuts they have. Fortunately, I had forgot my wallet at home and only had enough to buy a healthy granola thingy and shared it with the kids I had that day. Oh.. And they have a second shop in Renton also.

Apple fritters are my fav too! I was never sure if it's because they're so yummy or if they were the biggest donut and I was a big pig and had to have the biggest anything

Or what? Is the weight loss a requirement and part of your pre-op diet plan and schedule? Other than hit the gym and hard core diet I don't have any magic words.. Sorry

That's great news.. Enjoy your vacation, soak up the sun and congrats on the weight loss

Whatcha mean it's all fluffy bunnies again? ... What I'd I miss this time? I miss everything. Fine... It's Easter so I guess I'll allow the fluffy bunny crap a pass and move on

And no stopping at top pot donuts on your way out

OMG.. Lmao, that cracked me up! I seriously thought armadillo was part of some type of new drink concoction. I think you're snockered!

Oh my gosh.. Fried boloney and cheese samiches.. THE BEST! Yeah we never got wonder bread either unless we're visiting my grandma

It's not just your weight loss you're messing with.. You may do a lot of damage or cause yourself some serious sleeve issues. Does this not scare you? I died twice with band complications and getting the sleeve was my final chance at not failing or sabotaging a WLS.. I refuse to play games with things now. My life and success is very important... Please value yourself too! Be careful

One bad day isn't a failure. Go do something for yourself tht relates to your recent weight loss and feel good again. Get your mind in the game again and you'll do fine.

Make sure you have back up or a variety of the items your doc requires. Your taste may change and some things you may suddenly dislike. Keep your options open

EXACTLY! It tastes good, so I dont care. I love baloney too and that's just a flat dog. It's not like I eat it very often, anyway. As a kid I used to have a summer job in a seafood cannery/packing house .. If you knew, you wouldn't eat seafood ever again. I know and I love me some seafood til I die! It's a mind set is all

Strain the berries.. Or use the juice from frozen fruit .. yummy, but lots of sugar. I use sf torani's (like Laura mentioned) for all my sweet flavoring

WTH?.. I beg to differ .. Sheesh! It gets a lot better and most everyone here will agree. We aren't fakers and just pretending to be happy with our slevees... WE ARE HAPPY AND WE DON'T REGRET IT. Sure it's sometimes tough, but most of the time it isn't. Live for the positive and accentuate the good.. Don't pound others into the ground just because that's where you are. I am sorry you are having such a negative time, but to suggest to someone it NEVER gets better is.. Well, just not ok. IMHO ...anyway I prayer things change for you.. Good luck

Welcome elpaso.. Funny, I find myself here a lot too. Kind of like the neighborhood coffee shop. (ok, maybe that's just a Seattle thing) anyway Kumbayah y'all.. Kumbaya y'all... Lalalah

Funny the things we never think about until it's right there in front of us.. Good for you!

How exciting for you.. Good job!

This is what I told/asked myself. Why would it matter if it was reversible? Is it because you might want to go back to over eating, get fat again and be the old unhealthy you? Are you afraid of missing the food you are so used to pigging out on and being so uttely grossed out and unhappy with yourself? Do you want a way to get out of it when you feel you just can't live without your junk crap food? Etc etc etc... Either you are ready for a permanant healthy change to a better you or you are not

Omg ..Laura I was scrolling down to say the same thing about changing the channel! My husband is snoring away, but I change the channel he wakes up and says.. I'm watching that! Yep.. You sure were )

Welcome! I'm not 46 like Laura.. Fact I'm a ho ho bunch of older than most, but be glad you're doing it now and not wasting good years yoyo'ing like I did for so many years. Yes.. Be sure o take a good before pic.. I didn't and I regret it.

Wow.. You're awesome and you have lots to be proud of. Congrats! You're such a positive role model for us all.

I eat Applegates organic all beef no filler dogs.. Dipped in mustard. They're good for you, taste good, but don't taste near as good as the bad for you wieners I really love. You know the ones that are filled with animal guts , dropped on the floor products, rodent parts and probably loaded with cancer causing chemicals..and soooo yummy!

I've never been to a hospital that wasn't equip to o barium swallows.. And I've been to several that weren't part of a bariatric program. Hopefully yours is equip. Good luck and glad the clot was ruled out.

LOL.. Like being on a plastics forum and saying, I'm not as ugly as most everyone here and everyone tells me how pretty I am without cosmetic surgery.. Should I do it?
