My approval was so fast!!! Barely 1 week I swear so thankful for this. I have no pre existing clauses no requirements. Excited finally gonna have my surgery

I wish that were true. Even in the Blender Bottle, I couldn't deal with the smell of the Nectar/Unjury drinks. Another vote here for the Premier Protein shakes.

I was a Dr Pepper and sweet eater before surgery. Since surgery I have found myself eating Peanut Butter, but only peter pan honey roasted smooth. I didnt eat that before surgery. I have also found myself eating potato Soup from Sam's Club it has chives in it. I never eat chives. I have always been a picky eater. Also fish I could eat fish all the time.

I think it is suppose to mean women's not wide. I have always been told it meant women's even when I worked in retail.

Upped my calories, decreased my calories, and finally learned to just sit back and let my metabolism do it's job. I had to learn patience.

I saw a news story about a gym that no thin ppl are allowed, everything is designed with larger ppl in mind..example limited mirrors, larger shower stalls etc..id go there lol

I recommend JC Penny, Sears, Target and Walmart. I wear yoga leggings and tshirts. Put on a good sports bra and get your workout on. I used to feel shy at first, but then i noticed that no one was paying any attention to me because they were too focused on their own workouts. Good luck to you!

That's the plus of being in the Water...no one can see your clumsiness!! It's great.

So....i tried the weight/workout area. I decided it's just not for me at this time. Doesn't mean it won't be in my future. But what's funny is obviously my issue isn't that I care about what people think of me. (Because they don't, and I always knew that!) Now 3-4 times a week I prance around in a bathing suit!! Oh yeah! Flaunting my cottage cheese thighs. :-) I've discovered that Water aerobics is 'my thing.' Even do water Zumba. Now that's a challenge trying to get my hips to move in ways they haven't moved since I was a teen.

Reebox and Marika have awesome cottage cheese sucking qualities! I find them at Marshall's on good sales for around 20.00

Even at 144, I'm self conscious about my appearance.. I liveeeeee in yoga pants work and gym (work has an extremely lenient attire code, heck my hair is blue!) I L-O-V-E danskin, have since I danced and excited Walmart carries a line and dirt cheap since I'm still going through sizes every few weeks. During the warmer weather I only ever wore their capris and now that its colder I wear the yoga pants. I do admit I went to Models and bought a 40$ pair of Adidas pants and they're much more comfy, but too expensive and don't hide the cottage cheese thighs like danskin Lola's far as tops, I just wear cheap 5$ thin v-neck fitted tees (walmart, target, wet seal, etc) with a kohls tank underneath (also about 7$)

Who cares if sweats are no longer"fashionable" really? you are going to the gym to workout,exercise. Not to be a fashion diva

I was on insulin 3x day before surgery. I dont take any meds. I had surgery Oct 8 2012. my A1C was 6.0 this week.

Sorry to hear about your sister, but first off you're violating her privacy and HIPAA by releasing her medical history publicly on the net. I had the surgery new years eve. I knew leaks were a possibility as does anyone else who has this surgery. Hell you can die on the table giving birth to a child - do you think every woman should quit going through child birth? It's a known risk you take - sorry it happened to your sister.

You are an idiot to post this here. I don't have any problem wih people posting their stories (even ones with bad outcomes), but in no way shape or form is this kind of situation common. The opposite is true. So stop trying to scare people away from LIFE SAVING surgery with your story. It would have been fine if you had told the story and left it at that. But no, you have to punctuate it at the end with your moronic advice and how you would never have weight loss surgery. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx violation of forum rules. People die from having their wisdom teeth out- should they not have surgery to alleviate their pain?

I had my surgery Oct 8 2012 I am on no insulin or diabetes med. now. Good luck to you. You should be able to come off the insulin pretty soon. My sugar the day of surgery was 301 today it runs between 87- 98 fasting

the Unjury chicken Soup is great, i like the chike products but shipping is crazy like 8.00 for 10 pks

I have this thread pinned Daisy! Just wondering if anyone has gotten any good recent deals...I've checked out links and tips posted earlier and haven't had much luck finding the same deals, aside from Unjury. Anyone? I have to start my pre-op in a few weeks

I cant each much either. I am just over 3 months post op. I get about 500 - 600 calories a day. That is all. Yes I am losing slow, or to me it is slow. I am losing inches. I can eat about 2 oz Protein and that is all at one meal. Just a few bites. Today was one of those days I probably didnt get that much in me. and No I havent been at gym as much as I would like to be.

Thank you Carol!! I will add that to my list!!
