belladona replied to extracat's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My hubby went to work as usual the next day. I was on my own. not only was I alone I had to drive myself to the er . Then my husband and son took off to Disney for the week it was just me and my dog. So no you will be fine. -

belladona replied to Karnie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi I must be abnormal, I don't feel any of that. I can eat a lot a full container of yogurt no problem 3 oz of chicken doable. Not too happy about that. Anyway, when I get to my point my stomach feels thanksgiving full. That's when I know to stop. -

belladona replied to Shoota's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi im out two months and was enjoying the sweet life last week I gained a lb I almost freaked this week down one . I feel your frustration and agree the scale should be moving. Think about the science behind this If your caloric intake is less than burned you should loose. My net diary anylizes your daily intake and tells you what you loose in a day technically I should be loosing 4-5 lbs a week going by what I eat and exercise, not 1 measely pound. I think theres more to this I just dont know what it could be. Everyone thinks youshould be greatful for how far you have come and yes we are. But if you put in the time to workout and for me my zumba class is so amped up when I get home Im literally am exausted , its only natural you want those results. good luck to you shoota and everyone else. Hopefully soon we will see the numbers we deserve for all our hard work. -
Ughh I hope you feel better with your foot and ankle. But as for the wheelchair, awesome baby that must have made your night? If possible, they put me in a normal wheelchair and I felt burning in my but cheeks on the outside it was the wheels burning my but as the chair moved. So kudos to you on that one I cant wait to shrink to those sizes. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

I would like a little cheese with my whine
belladona replied to gamergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Omg lol I was thinking the same thing !!! Its not something very common like dehidration but it very well could be that. I also am going through life very tired I feel its vitamin deficiency. I hope you feel better soon. -
Guilty here used it a few times for a few days got headaches . They also do not allow you to comment on them negatively tell her to do her homework I go with laura-ven on this one treadmill is a much better solution

I love hot foods!
belladona replied to SleevedSillz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I tried something spicy of course i ate it but i had a sore stomach afterwards. nothing terrible but I felt it. So try have a bite wait a while see what happens you may be ok. -
By us its in the prepared food section by the produce and its open but cool like a refrigerator but not behind glass its by the cheeses and all prepared stuff like trader joes non guilty guac hummus and other goodies. its real chicken breast its either the whole breast piece or you can buy it cubed for salds or sliced like turkey on thanksgiving. Ughh gonna have to make a run tonight its usually what me and my son do on friday nights but he loves it because he always has a meal at the taste and sample section lol 6 going on 20.
-
I do too!! I buy alot of there name stuff since i have been sleeved I read every label and really just stick to less is more. They have an awesome nonfat greek yogurt 12 grams of protein and their own grilled chicken ingredients are chicken breast salt and olive oil thats it no preservatives. 100 calories for 3oz 21 protein cant beat it. Try them out next time its healthy and easy . Im always on the run so its convenient . Im gonna look up Maries Gone Crackers right now. lol

belladona replied to Oliver's Mom's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Holy crap you sexy thing!! You look amazing!! -
I dont know what your interests are, but for cardio you can try zumba its fun and not so monotnous as the stationary bikes or treadmill or eliptical, and all the zumba instructors I have seen have lean abs and a great ass, so to me all bases are covered. lol Enjoy your birthday!!!!!
-
I hope you get better soon, that sounds scary I would have been angry and depressed as well. Thank you for the useful information. A few years back my mom was hospitalized for low potassium, unfortunately its not high in our radar, and overlooked. But now its fresh in my head. Thanks again and i wish you a speedy recovery.
-
Lol sounds like a plan!
-
Hi I find I dont loose as much. Instead of 5 or 6 lbs it may be 2 or 3 lbs Im still in the honeymoon phase lol still pulling nice numbers.
