Freezing? Wait until you have your surgery. I am STILL not a small man at almost 8 weeks out but I find I get way colder in the air conditioning than I used to.

I haven't had a Metformin since the day after surgery. All you did was hit the dreaded 3-week stall like almost everyone else on this board, I doubt that the Metformin had anything to do with you losing weight again (I'm not a doctor so take that for what it's worth). Personally, start tracking your glucose every day (twice a day if possible) if you aren't already and show it to your doctor and insist you be taken off of it asap if you don't need it. There's a risk of it driving your glucose too low once you've lost enough weight.

You're been right with everything so far. I'll definitely get some of those too.

Thank you kindly, ma'am! It appears I'll be ordering my Celebrate Calcium Citrate from Bariatric Choice this time!

My ample bottom actually fits in the chairs at my doctor's office! I no longer have to sit on the edge or have the arms dig into my thighs.

10 years and this surgery doesn't make you ugly and old. You're still the same wonderful person on the inside no matter what you look like on the outside. And that wonderful person deserves the very best, don't be afraid to let her have it.

This and maybe we (men) value and enjoy womens' opinions so much that we don't mind you participating in our posts in the men's area.

Yet here you are. I have questions for you - are any of the men complaining about it? Then why is this so important to you? Why is this your business?

Couch to 5k has been on my mind today. Check out this page, particularly the schedule section towards the middle: http://www.coolrunni...2/2_3/181.shtml I do the mile in about the same time you do but the schedule for training doesn't look too bad. What do you think?

Bet you didn't know you're the VST Patron Saint of Dumping Syndrome, did you?

I had an endoscopy years ago unrelated to this surgery. BEST. NAP. EVER. I believe I had to put on a surgical gown, but I remember wearing gym shorts under. I remember it being only a few hours from start to finish. Nothing hurt afterwards and I was a little sad I couldn't have slept longer. I woke refreshed and ready to go.

I hear "please just go to hell" at least 10 times a day myself!

You're new here, aren't you? (Seriously tho, there are worst problems you could have and many of them are posted on this board!)

You are very welcome!

Nope, you're not the only one! It can be done and is something worth conquering.

Mix it down with a little Water maybe. Personally, I don't care for any Protein shake flavors except chocolate but that's just me.

Loving my sleeve as well. Just got back from Jalapeno Tree, was able to finish off one fajita and fixins wrapped in a corn tortilla and a few chips - I'm so full I want to die!

Just make sure you're over a toilet the first few weeks when you do. You can't trust farts too soon after surgery TRUST ME!

Methodist Hospital both in Dallas and Mansfield hold monthly support groups, it might be an idea for you to attend one of them to see what they do. I'll be happy to PM you email and phone number of the contact person if you're interested.

Forney here - hi neighbor!

For that matter there's some protein in the slice of cold pizza as well!

chicken broth was great at first, but egg drop soup (no crunchies) saved my sanity during my two-week preop liquid only diet. That and miso soup (strained).

Grits used to be one of my favorite foods preop, with lots of butter and melted cheese. And a slice of cold pizza (don't ask). I'm gonna go cry now.
