  1. Lipton also makes these, it's in the yellow package and is called "Southern Sweet Tea" and the splenda is in the tea bag. I get it at Kroger. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App
  2. I will echo what others said in that you will likely only need the narcotic for the first day or two. After that I was able to switch to the liquid adult tylenol and that worked just fine to control the pain. Best of luck!

  7. I like the idea of waiting till after the first weeks. Or, waiting till Christmas. I'm teach primary now but when I got my sleeve I was at a desk job and one week off was not even enough then. The issue was fatigue, from healing and from the low calories that first week. I have heard recovery from bypass can be a bit harder than sleeve, but I don't know if that is true. Good luck!!

  9. I did it, it was no big deal. The new Doc just has to resubmit to insurance with the new Dr and hospital info. It did take about a month to go through. They will have to coordinate with your original Dr to get the paperwork/records. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App
  10. I am allowed alcohol, I think I had my first at about 4 months out. At my 6 month appt my doc asked what am I having for alcohol. Not if I'm having it, but what am I choosing. He just wanted to make sure it is a low calorie choice and obvi not excessive I drink prosecco, which is fizzy. My doc approved. The big thing is that you must avoid the super caloric, sugary drinks! Margaritas (unless skinny type), creamy type stuff, etc. That's where you can get into real trouble and your losses will be compromised. Eta I'll be 2 years out in September.
  11. Yes I wonder how you came to this goal? I would think you could get under 200 fairly easily. But it's your choice! You should aim for where you want to be and what you can maintain Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App
  12. It sounds like you are moving forward and taking those steps toward him. That is a wonderful thing! And going by what you have shared, it sounds like real progress too. If the topic actually comes up, or if you feel that you might be sending him unintended/mixed signals, I say go ahead and share your feelings about it. Otherwise, I would probably just let things happen naturally. This is a gift. Enjoy every moment you can You deserve it! Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App
  13. Packit lunch bag. You freeze the whole thing at night. No separate ice packs because it's in the lining of the bag. Folds up really nicely to bring home and for freezer. http://www.packit.com/freezable-lunch-bag-2971.html Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

  16. Wow. I don't think she was saying that at all. Frankly I think your response came across as rather agressive and very out of proportion to the post you cited. All things in life are not black and white. Most stuff falls somewhere in the shades of gray between. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

  22. The Aveda be curly styling cream, a little devacurl gel, and dry with a diffuser to make it curly. To wear straight Aveda makes a glossing defrizzer (I forget the name but it comes in a light blue tube) that works well but you have to use enough (applies to both products actually).
