    ortega07 reacted to O.T.R. sleever in Anybody familiar with thai food?   
    Thai food varies greatly. From noodle heavy dishes that are covered with sweet sauces like Pad Thai. To spicy very healthy dishes like Thai Curries.
    If you are looking for a suggestion I love green curry with chicken. Different resturaunts make it in different consistencies, some he curry is like a thick sauce, others it's more of a Soup. But it is very good. One word of caution, it is a bit spicy. If you can handle moderately spicy Mexican you'll be fine, if not, you can have them tone it down a bit, or even try a red curry or mango curry.

    Well IF they worked then there would be no real reason to be sleeved. They are for the most part harmless but being unfamiliar with what this particular brand and type are I would consult your doc about it first.

    I'm not the OP- but I had the same issue. I have crazy sensitive skin. They are all healed nicely now. I did go to the dr and I was told it was a reaction. After two weeks of 1% hydrocortisone cream all was well. I still have one little rash on one part but it is 99.9% gone.

    ortega07 got a reaction from cataro in Don't let anyone.....   
    Don't let anyone tell you or make you feel that this is the easy way out! In fact, it's the hard way out! I was sleeved 12/26 day after Christmas, hospitalized for 2 days and on Clear liquids hopefully till Friday 1/4/12. This is not easy, but I'm rather curious how far I could take this! I can't even imagine the number of times I would have already binged on food by now. In fact I have to remind myself I can't! Even tho I want to I can't! But at the same time I am craving colorful healthy food.

    ortega07 reacted to Babysteppin in GOOD fast food choices ?! :)   
    I think Chipotle is a pretty good fast food place...fresher & less processed ingredients, and no fried stuff either The burrito bowls are great because you can watch how they're putting it together, and direct them on how to make it. Leftovers also wrap up nicely for later.

    ortega07 got a reaction from foxymomma in Tummy Tuck Scar   
    I had a section in 2006, Tummy Tuck in 2008, while I made the mistake of getting the surgery prior to getting rid of all of my excess weight, it did help me in the gym bc I worked out better w/o having to look down and see that pouch of skin. However, my main piece of advice is to make sure you have a great doctor! Mine had to revise twice in his office and it still looks terrible, never flat! I went for a second opinion for revision and the doctor agreed if he did that surgery he would have been disappointed and fixed it the right way. So all in all get a good doc! Don't assume a nice doctor is a good doctor!

    In approx 24 hours I will be getting up to go to the hospital. I think what I'm doubting the most is, this isn't like any diet I've ever been on. Weight watchers for example, oh ill use my extra points, or ill start Monday. Essentially there is no way to quit or cheat or start over Monday. So I need to tell myself, do this and do it well. Don't stop and for once in your life be healthy and happy! It's going to be tough but I can and will. Do this!
    Preop diet starts today, just one more holiday. I've had 33 Christmas' I could enjoy it even more next year! My last supper was pops Cereal, as if I hadn't been last suppering it since Oct when this all started!

    I told my boss I was having a laparoscopic stomach surgery due to an issue with acid reflux. I work at a small law firm, I'm using vaca days and I said if I needed longer I would go on disability. If people notice the weight coming off well ill just say its 2013 and I have a resolution for the new year. You don't have to tell anyone you don't want to know! Good luck!
