R u talking to me? December of 13 so I am 14 months out

Quest has a new tasteless one!

They can prescribe Actigall to help prevent gallstones

5'6" SW 271 CW 135 Tight 18W to 2/4. I am 45. I exercise a lot (yoga 3x week plus training for a marathon). Overweight since childhood. Obese most of my adult life (was not athletic before).

5'6" here and 45. My goal was 150. I am sitting nicely at 135 now.

I honestly don't think working out affects the skin, just fills you out underneath. I am pretty ripped if I do say so myself, but there is loose skin on top--some places worse than orhera

No discomfort just to clarify. The gurgling.

I'm 15 months out and mine still does that! Especially at bedtime.

I did all the right things and lost clumps starting at 6 months until about a year out. It's coming back in now

Yay for taking your life and future into your own hands! I think it's great! Wish I had done it at your stage instead of waiting... Course for me that would have been b4 gastric sleeve was really available and it's been perfect for me so I guess for that I'm glad I waited.

Having wrist surgery last week and discussing pain med dosage and she said "you probably only need the low dosage, you're pretty small." Putting on the size small triathlon kit I got on clearance a month ago bc they didn't have a medium and having it fit.

Oh gosh no! I could have even kept my shoes on if I wanted to.

No teeth issues here.

Wow! This is interesting! Even when I had my surgery 15 months ago the trend was to the smaller bougie size (mine is a 32 and no complications here anyhow). Seems like surgeons are moving to the bigger ones. Interesting to watch things evolve!

I'm 20 yrs married this year and it doesn't matter I still get the attention. And it isn't only male/flirty/sexual attention... It's the salespeople in stores approaching me... The eye contact from cashiers... Other runners smiling and waving... Other people in waiting rooms striking up conversations...It's like I've rejoined the human race. I didn't notice how invisible/overlooked I was till I wasn't.

I miss being overlooked at times. I now get lots more attention from salespeople, men, pretty much everyone. Sometimes I preferred being "invisible"

I like the texture...reminds me of a tootsie roll

271 to 135. Tight 18W to a 4. 56% body fat to 18%.

Well it DOES add calories. Protein has 4 calories per gram so if the powder is pure protein (no carbs or fat--which many powders do have in small amounts) it still has 4 calories per gram. Not that that is a bad thing, just for accuracy's sake.

I'm glad that's what works for you! But don't assume it's what's best for everyone ????

Couple times a day ???? I'm totally annoyed right now bc I just got a HUGE HEAVY plaster cast on my arm and have no idea how much it weighs

I don't like the s'mores ones either. Almond crunch Lemon pie Double Choc chunk White choc rasp Brownie Apple pie Coconut cashew strawberry cheesecake YUMMMMMMMMM

Lucky in my book! I am jealous. Rice is one of the only things I can't tolerate even in tiny amounts and I do wish I could have an occasional sushi roll! I've done it with seaweed but it isn't the same

Quest just came out with a new one and I really like it! Never liked the unjury or nectar ones myself

To post in the vets forum it's a combination of a year out and a certain number of posts on the board (100 I think). As for skin... I have no knowledge except what I have read here and elsewhere and what my docs have said. I am at (below) goal and intend to wait a year out to see where that leaves me. I am surprised actually... I am 45 and have been heavy my whole life and obese at least 16 years and my skin is still shrinking. It still needs help, but is still making progress. For a TMI example---my boobs are now the lump in a hanging sock variety...BUT in the last two months my nipples have gone from pointing downwards to pointing back forwards! Honestly never thought I would see that!
