  1. Next time eat the cheese and toppings and leave the crust. Watch the portion size
  2. Is he supporting you by making foods you can eat or is he sabotaging that? If so you need to go
  3. @kvlasy. I agree my joints and muscles have not caught up to the rest of me.
  4. Definitely not due to water. I get about 64 ounces a day
  5. grande skinny latte with a Protein scoop every day Protein gives it a vanilla flavor Total 160 calories
  6. So what the heck did I do? Dunno So I started at 240. No back pain, no knee pain, just hbp and asthma and well fat I get to 190 and have severe sciatica in the right leg Go to ortho. Get xray and mri. All looks good. Severe pain anyway. See a chiro. I have my hips all screwy. One back adjustment later a little better. And so this continues with weekly adjustments until I get to 180 and it just disappears. Upper back pain now begins. Again chiro. Ok a little better. Fast forward to this past Tuesday at midnight. Now 173 pounds Foot cramp wakes my ass up. Carefully straighten my foot massage it. Wide awake here lets go pee. Well I fall flat on my ass because my foot is out. I mean crying like a baby on my ass Pain is excruciating. Hands and knees we make our way to the potty. We grab the aleve from the cabinet above and take one. 4 hours later still awake in bean town. Still in pain. Need to go potty. Ok. Test the foot. Little better. Get half way there kaboom back on my ass Took another aleve Morning. On my ass get down the stairs. Get into the car. Drop off kids at school. Hubby at train. It's the left foot thank god and off to the ER. They have a valet. Oh heaven In a wheelchair. And several hours later and numerous feel ups by somewhat cute and young ER doc. I have plantar fasciitis. Huh? No I don't think so. Take an xray. No need. Huh? I can't walk. It's the bottom of my foot not the heel Yesterday I go to a foot/ankle surgical podiatrist. Who takes an X-ray Confirms nothing broken but I have damaged the tendons in my foot. Say what? How? Well you lost a lot of weight and increased your activity. And when that happens your tendons sometimes give way/get loose So here I sit. Applying flexor Patches to my foot. No more aleve by mouth And using some really lovely crutches. I think I traded some problems for new ones. But still down 67 pounds They want me to take steroids but honestly don't think I will. Took 4 yesterday and wanted to eat the roof
  7. I work in insurance and I wouldn't accept that as approved. Approved is approved Eligible means I have coverage, service coverage is available, and maybe I can get approved I would get something else from your carrier. Specifically a phone call, someone's name and employee id Log the time and date of call
  8. I am grateful to all of you. Started reading this site January 2014 and made the decision after reading all the complications first, that the positive outweighed those negatives I want to thank everyone who came before me and posted for doing so
  9. Did you actually know this person. Score she bought these items? I would've gotten rude after the first time.
  10. @@nprcowboy It happens, ignore the crap take the positive Did your doc give you omeprazole? Pepcid, nexium? Anything like that? You need some.
  11. I am portuguese and hubby is cuban. Trust me I feel your pain. Potatoe on the portugal side and rice for Cuba. Was hard at first for hubby. But if you flavor that quinoa he prefers it to rice actually. I use it with Piccadillo, ropa vieja. "Arroz" con pollo
  12. Ebay. I just sold my winter coats on there. Wish I had seen this would have offered them to you. Sold 1x I do have a men's xl columbia 3 in 1 jacket if you want it? Fits woman 1x loosely and 2x may maybe tightly. I wore it loosely at 240
  13. I am never doing rice again. My nut said no rice, Pasta etc I have replaced the rice n my diet with quinoa. I don't miss rice one single iota of a bit
  14. My peeps tell me they need a half inch and that's a lot so the wax can grab on. Not a couple inches. That would be extremely long and extremely painful
  15. I have had burritos recently. I do burrito bowls now Ask for a little rice and lots of extra veggies. And a burrito bowl usually lasts me 3 meals now This is one from a local mexican place in Rutherford. They're awesome. It's carne al pastor. Spicy and lovely Light amount of rice, lots of corn, Beans, veggies under the meat. I split it in three pieces visually. And tons of leftovers
  16. I echo lipstick lady. You may need a change in ppi But wait until Monday. See if the purées make it better. Try mash sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, something firmer than blended Soups If that makes you feel fuller keep track of times. If you're hungry more than every 2/3 hours you'll need a better ppi
  17. Hang in there it gets better when you get to mushies and real food.
  18. I worked there up or 7 years ago BCN is the subsidiary and it's the hno product. Their medical policies are different than bcbsm which is ppo, EPO, indemnities I would call bcbsm directly and ask them. Even if you are not a customer today they c an give you the medical policy
  19. No cath here. Doc wanted me up and walking no excuses
  20. I've done waving. The full Brazilian. And yes it hurts. Especially the first time, and really a whole lot if you don't trim first. I like to get it evry 4-6 weeks. Summer I stay at 4 weeks. After a few times the pain tends to get better. And also because tre hair tends to grow in thinner really helps. Go to a place that uses purple wax not the yellow kind that they use on face. You use that and you will really really suffer
  21. I went to see a chiro this week. I couldn't take it anymore and the orthopedic had nothing on X-ray or mri Chiro said my sacroiliac joint was out of place causing lower back pain. He adjusted me and recommended sitting on a 65 cm ball to strengthen up my core Now to fix the upper back issues
  22. I am using fiber gummies with success but also an occasional stool softener
  23. I am 5 months out and have started documenting. I have been to the PCP and the dermatologist. That Pannis sure is damn itchy (no joke) and it'll be really itchy for the next 13 months My insurance covers paniculectomy at 18 months post op from wls
