This person would no longer be my friend. I would send her a message that stated dhe might need to get some medical help herself in the form of medication and counseling for her own demons. I woild apologize for saving my own life with help of a medical team and suggest she do the same bc she isn't right in the head. I would ask her to have nice fufilling life with all that hate in her heart..and hit send. I would then move on. Evil comes in all forms..friendship is one of them. Everyone will see this lesson taught to them at some point in your life. The title friend doesn't automatically make that person nice. Actions do...so when one shows her true colors you can then decide if you want that stress or not. I chose not to have negative or mean people in my life. (Unless related!)

I was in the 180s...gained 25 lbs to qualify for surgery! I was miserable by the end on the gain! I had HBP, HChol, insulin resistance, depression, and thyroid issues. I felt it was worth it yo gain the weight to qualify. It was! I am now 160..25 from goal!

That's why I do my research and stay on the boards. I am disappointed in that part of my surgical team. They also haven't done any blood work or follow up there. My internist is mad about that. He believes they should be watching my levels. Idk..I think I'm glad its him bc he knows me better. Just disappointed. .but not letting it get me down! 48 lbs gone in 14 weeks! 25 more to go!

I have seen the nut at the Dr office once. She gave me the nook and said to read it. I saw the one at the hospital. ..twice. ..she was nice and explained everything. When I go for follow ups at the dr office...I see him or his assistant. They ask if I'm ok...and that's it. Ugh! He is a great dr...but his team sucks.

Eat some bad stuff! I gained weight to qualify..actually a good bit. Well worth it!

I am a scale addict! All of my life I have weighed more at night than in the am...but for the past two weeks I will stick to a weight all day..all week..then bam lose two lbs. So this gain is out of the norm for me. I have been eating right and drinking my Water. So I guess it is Fluid. I hope! To gain almost four lbs puts me back in the old frame of mind of panic and failure. I'm going to sleep on it and hope it all is hormonal! Thanks ladies!

I know I'm obsessed, bare with me...I weighed 160.3 sunday morning. Today I weighed 162.4 tonight..163.9! It lile I'm gaining steady fast! I started today..could that be the issue or am I in trouble? I mean that's almost 4 lbs! I'm 13 wks out..

I had my hubby take me to two restraunts!...I got an app and dessert at one...dinner at the othet...it was great! I dont miss it though!

I doubt it..never heatd of that...you could adopt them.

I'm 13 weeks out..I barely get 50...if I'm lucky...I didn't hit 15-20 for ar least a week.

Where can I find carbquick or the Atkins bake?

I am in love! This is exactly was I was looking for! Thanks!!

I am 12 weeks out and have lost 46 lbs. 25 more to go. I have been eating right, so don't take this wrong. I am starting to want (not need) a sweet here or there. I am a salt addict...not a sweet addict. I am not talking about candy bars and ice cream. I'm just wondering if anyone has any vsg friendly baked Desserts?

Easy....esp if it's a dr they recommended. ..

My favorite is Premier Protein!

Yes! I freeze them..buy only until they are like a slushie. It says not to freeze but my nut suggested it. Idk if you should but it is delish!

I had the two skinniest women at work tell me not to lose too much weight. This was before I had the surgery. They said people that have this procedure always get too thin. Coming from the two size 0s I was floored. Really? As if I need their advice or opinion!

If in a pinch...I get the pintos/cheese from taco bell.

My med was also reduced..8 werks out and 36 lbs down. Started at 208 preop. I am pleased eith my progress. My head can't catch up with my loss as is!

2 months post op and I feel that way. Not saying it will last...but its how I feel now!

Louisiana around 14500....my dr and hospital charged my insurance over 45000...my insurance only paid 14500 total! Thank god! I do have a deductable!

One day..bcbs new jersey!

I added sour cream too! Of course I also ate refried Beans, cheese, sour cream, and tavo sauce. I could only eat a little but its still good to me 8 weeks out.
