I have had an issue that I wont put my mouth on a glass. I have used a straw for years. Now I buy bottled water. I am 6 weeks post op and I do use straws sparingly. I think the issue came from years of living in NY and we all used straws.

Did you have to go to a shrink before your surgery that works with weight loss pts? I would call them. I really liked the person I saw. Our bodies are going through big changes so it is good to get medical advice first.

I have had asthma since I was 2. Now that you mention it I have not used my inhaler since my surgery at all.

I would go to your PCP. I would try to build up your immune system before surgery. It took alot out of me. I had just started getting a sore throat the day of surgery. I had a real hard time breathing afterwards. Don't play around with it. It was scary for me.

Mine was the same way for about 3 weeks. It got back to normal. I am not sure why?

Yes.. I used miralax.. I take 1 to .5 ofa teaspoon a day. I am in the process of weaning off of it.

I track my calories in My Fitness Pal. Today I had 580 calories that I ate but exercised 400 calories for a net calories of 110. I am supposed to eat between 600-800 calories. Is the calorie count the gross or the net calories after exercise?.. I am confused???? Thanks for helping!

I do premier protein avalable at Sams/ Costco... I also do unjury too!

I love these ... I just used ragu instead of manwhich sauce.. they were amazing!

I wonder why they ask you to stop BC? My dr talked to me about using birth control. I have never used it. I have never been able to get prego so I assume it is a lost cause and at 48 I dont think I need it.

I have BCBS and I got approved no problem. I have great insurance. My employer sees the benefit of fit employees and really trys to help.

Well that maybe good because you can laser off dark hairs pretty well. Must be hormonal.

I have question what kind of supplements do you suggest to reduce inflamation?

You know I went to my pcp for a referal for a lap band ..his thin self said - no you have not dieted hard for a year...that same day we had a lunch at my job by a baratric / plastic suregon. I made an appointment with him that day. When I went through the process my gyno sent over my records and weight records. I went back to my PCP and told them I did it.. He said - well you sure are motivated. I thought you just wanted all that money for my blood work. I feel amazing and I am only 5 weeks out! What a jerk! Call your insurance you may not need a referal.

I threw up for 2 days ..they made me walk and I puked... I have curly hair..It was a mess serious bed head. One lady who was fine walking said --- oh honey it gets better.. I was really embarassed...It gets better..
