Yay!! Congrats!

I am a pastor - and had weight loss surgery. While I don't share the how - I do share the weight loss. It made me healthy again. The question of how does faith interfere with the decision process to me is like asking a cancer patient if they are gonna do chemo if they are a christian. What does that have to do with it?

Your 17 year old lends you his hoodie because you're too cold and its big on you...

3-5 lbs per week is normal.

Depends on how it affects you. A bite won't hurt you even if you dump most of the time. But it's almost a year away.

I love click-

I am in Nodak. Where do you live?

I did. Haven't had a flare in the two years since post surgery.

For me its sandwiches. I am over two years out. Gluten free- but it can only eat about 1/2 of one. More and I'm in trouble. Nothing else bothers me.

schar makes a lot of products that people seem to like. the problem with schar is most of their stuff is corn based, which isnt a good choice for a lot of people with gluten/wheat issues.

I don't think this is quite right. Corn does not affect gluten intolerant people. It is still often genetically modified, But that is a different problem. I am gluten intolerant and corn has never bothered me or my gluten intolerant friends.

I didn't. Still don't. I don't regret it.

As 50th birthday present to myself I bought a scooter. It is so much fun to ride I feel like a kid again, hence "scootergirl" rather than "scooter middle aged lady". Thanks to my sleeve I have lost enough weight to carry my daughter on the scooter with me. We have a great time together as we ride. Thank you, sleeve.

Lol- I did this for my 49th birthday except mine is red.

PS. I had a "Bariatric Team" and got all my guidelines from them, in a nice book from the team. I call it my Bariatric Bible. Then when I see my doc he tweeks it as I progress

Sounds like what they did in Detroit.

Yum..tomorrow is pancake and bacon Breakfast..going to eat a normal one with butter and syrup..But a lean sausage....LOL

I have it once in a while and I like it bad..i eat everything else so damn healthy.....Looking forward to my little treat!

I know..don't care..lol doing it anyway!

You might want to try sugar free Syrup - tastes similar and will minimize your possibility of dumping

The stalls are normal you just have to stay with the plan. After the first few months the weight loss really slows. I am almost two years out. I now weigh 149. The last year I have only lost 11 lbs. But that's ok. It's still going down.

All that I have found- charge.

Pupi-

You've got to understand. That's considered an extremely low calorie diet and it serves multiple purposes. Mainly - it reduces the size of your liver for surgery. It also gets allot of the solids out of your intestines and starts to reduce your cravings prior to surgery, making it a bit easier post surgery. Have faith. You will get through this.

How's it going?

How far along are you?

Gotta watch your sugars - some really hit people with rny

This is why some of us require a break from the occasional idiocy ... I got tired of the complaints of the very normal and expected stalls. When someone has a 7+ week stall like me then go ahead and whine ...until then, suck it up!

;D

Hah! Its taken me almost a year to lose 10 lbs- but I am hovering at 150- and celebrating my two year surgiversary in 3 months. But at least it's not going up.

Yall need to get ya some of this

5 carbs 22 grams Protein and it taste good. A tad heated but thats good for the metabolism

I really like the Atkins meals. Low carb.

I am gluten free. I have problems with inflammation and the doc thought it might help. It does. Think Adkins diet with all the veggies you can eat. I feel great. Lots of energy. I second the comment on gluten free biscuick but we shouldn't eat those products any way.

Loving- you are not alone. We are here fire you. In a short time you will start feeling better. Just sip sip sip . You got this -!

I had my gallbladder out on Dec 6. I've noticed I seem to be a LOT more gassy than before. Is this a forever thing? Or is it just till my body adjusts to not having the gallbladder for bile storage? It's embarrassing... Lol

Check what you're eating. Your might be milk intolerant. My son dares not to pass gas around me anymore because mine are a lot more toxic. Lol
