I use unflavored Greek yoghurt! It's not so lumpy but ill have to try it with the cottage cheese

My insurance covers it every 3 weeks. I got three months. Then have about 4 periods a year. One every quarter. Solo much better! Oh and if you have a hard time getting it in use an empty tampon applicator!!! A MILLION times easier

I want to tell you something... First you are a beautiful human being. The amazing thing about life is that it it has the ability to be anything. You may not realize it, but to someone you are their everything. Nothing positive comes from that. Believe me I understand your pain. I understand the hopeless feelings that make everything so dark but know that somewhere there is lift and life waiting to shine through... And that I may not know you, But I love you!

I can honestly say that it is so hard. I have about 0 will power but I have to rework my way of thinking. I look at a candy at and think that is 2 hours on the treadmill... Or is that drink worth one judgmental look or second thought? That's the only way I can do it

Phew! Thank you

That sounds good! The only one I have been able to do it the Special K pre mixed but they're expensive. Have you guys tried the tasteless protein?

Anybody tried this? If so how was it

Hey guys I am having such a hard time sticking to the diet the dr have me no breads or pastas, eat 5x a day 2 oz protein and 2 oz of a veggie or low cal snack like almonds or carrots... Also I have to drink protein shakes. The one I bought is terrible

Good for you!!!! I remember the seminar was a huge step. You can do this!

Wow you guys are all great!!! Nurse Jen you look absolutely amazing!

I'd love to know what you expect, what it feels like, your thoughts... Ect... ????

Hey there guys it so hard to find younger people to talk to so I was so excited to find this forum. Does anyone feel being younger helps with the excess skin??

Hey there! I'm still new to this site. I'm Caitlyn, I just turned 24. I am from Cuyahoga Falls Ohio. It's just about 10 min from Akron. I am a banker. My HW is 298. I am a patient at Summa in Akron with Dr. Dan. I am hoping for Roux En Y sometime around November. I would love a mentor or buddy to share this journey with. You are all amazing! Also I am again my journey via tumbler breakfreedromitall

On gosh tiny... I will be praying for you... I don't suppose you would be willing to tell me about your journey??

Just so you know most company's have a section in their employee handbook. I know where I work we are not to discuss fellow employees medical history or problems. It is grounds for termination. However if I choose to discuss that is fine but it has to be positive

Does my nutritionists visit have to be exactly the same day each month? I got a letter saying they moved one of my visits back 3 days. Will that effect if my insurance will take it?

Yes I have to have 6 months through my primary and 3 through my secondary.. They go off primary... It would take 3 moths to get all of these visits in anyway lol.

I waited years because one boyfriend disapproved looking back all I can think is ... I wasted so much time trying to make him happy while sacrificing my own happiness... Be true to yourself and know that once it's done you will be able to love yourself a little more too.

Poorly bear when you insert it I empty a tampon holder and intern it into the empty case and then use that... No mess no fuss and no struggle

Yes I chose because it is so dangerous if you become pregnant in the first 18 months because your hormones are crazy and you lack nutrients.

I know they are all great! So tinycheeks do you have a date yet?

Haha what a small world! I have Dr. Dan too!!!!

I am on the nuvaring and I love it. I don't have to swallow and remember pills.. I can skip periods if I want. Also it's free now in Ohio. I think though I may get an Implant just in case if I get the surgery.

That's so exciting that you are so close ill be praying for you! It seems like six months is a lifetime away... Thank you for your kind words and advice and I wish you luck and success.

Oh and summa!
