    Cmon now......Hmmmm, are you eating for yourself or the strangers? The healthy portion is what your sleeve can handle, don't worry about the strangers.

    The type of fish isn't going to affect the portion size. You're not going to be able to eat more of one kind of fish than another.

    Aqua Zumba is fun. There are many people in the class that can't swim. One took some lessons and can't keep her out of the pool now. She's there five days a week. Really toned her up.

    I have been doing Aqua Zumba and Aqua Aerobics since August. I absolutely love it. It is so much fun especially the Aqua Zumba and both classes are full of real people. I have met so many nice people, one who had WLS two weeks before me and we have become great friends. Wonderful support system.

    Today I started something new. I did Water aerobics for a good hour. I didnt feel it while in the water. I feel it this evening. My arms are sore. I am going back Wednesday and do it again. It was a good workout. Honestly I can't swim. But taking this class is helping me adjust to the water and now I am thinking of taking swim lessons. It is a good full body workout. I felt so much better afterwards also. I am sore this evening, but I had more energy afterwards.

    It's helped a lot with my stomach and hips, and really jump-started my weight loss. Before that, I was only walking and definitely losing, but being in the Water allows you to work more muscle groups without putting pressure on the joints. I definitely think I'm a mermaid now...I can do things in the Water that I just can't do on land. My core strength is so much better now. When I first started, there was this exercise we did where we hung from the side of the pool and dead lifted our legs using our abs. I couldn't even do one...now I could do them in my sleep. I've lost 6" from my hips and even more in the upper torso. I've had 3 kids, so it's not like the pooch is going to go down that much, lol! My legs are very toned and I have muscle in place I never knew existed. I love the fact that I can now wear junior size skinny jeans and regular boots...no wide-calf necessary.

    I've been doing it three days a week since October and I love it. It has really helped me firm up. If anyone's worried about wearing a swimsuit-don't! There are people of all shapes, sizes, and ages at Water aerobics. I have made some really nice friends there, too! I am actually looking into joining the Y because they have more classes and I feel like I need to step it up to more than 3 days a week now.

    I'm not experienced when it comes to drugs BUT doesn't weed give you the munchies? So munchies cause you to eat everything in sight and that basically defeats the whole purpose of weight loss surgery. Just sayin'. As far as cocaine...I'll just pretend like that wasn't brought up, because its mind blowing anyone would think about something like that.

    I know you were looking for a cleanse, but for getting fiber my doctor suggested chia seeds. Like the ones used on chia pets. Lol! They are a good source of fiber, natural, and go well in smoothies with a scoop of Protein too!

    Carol Watts reacted to Butterthebean in Oh My Gosh, This protein drink is so delicious!   
    Be aware, you cannot absorb 52 grams of Protein in one sitting. Your body will utilize what it can (on average 30 grams) and eliminate the rest as waste. You might consider breaking that up into 2 meals. Then you'd get the full affect of all that protein.

    Well I'm sorry but I come to this forum to support people not to accuse them of lying. Geez, it's not a debate of truth or lies. It's supporting her during this trial. We could debate truth on every post on this forum. The point is we are speaking with her on the benefit of the doubt. We are perfectly aware that we are only speaking with her thank you

    Edit: seems like something was wrong from the beginning. I would request my records from the hospital. You should get any films that were made as well. You can then compare those studies to the studies you had at 7 weeks at what time your Dr. Said your stomach was sleeved. Now I would say your dr seems like an idiot but according to OTR idiots don't make it through med school. ( whatever)
    All types make it through med school...look up some criminal cases against medical doctors.
    Drs are not above being idiots IMO
    Or are they above having intent on a procedure but I edited this as to not accuse but only suggest anything is possible IMO

    Carol Watts reacted to angeliiz80 in Skin Tiightening Procedures? What Non Surgical Works?   
    Actually some of the wraps do work it's basically the same thing as sitting in a sauna it shrinks the fat cells. If you have them done frequently then your skin will become firmer. My husband got a full body one before and my cousin use to sell some and I have seen their results. It was definitely due to the wraps because they didn't change their lifestyle at all. Im not saying they all work because some of them are just scams for money. If you can find a decent priced one and it works I say go for it. Sure beats spending thousands on surgery.
