ARRRGGGGHHHHH! my mother #$)&(*U#)(*
Aside from all the stuff we have to deal with the moods have been up and down. I feel I am arguing with my husband more than usual lately. Good thing my mother lives in FL cause I would have strangled her by now! It's tough and lets focus on ourselves. It'll be months later during pre and post surgery that things will balance out. Hang in there. Lisa

Share BariatricPal!
Maybe small posters for bariatric centers to expose the great outlet we have here. I went to school for computer aided design but it was short lived... I would have made one for you and I don't even have the programs. Someday, I should re-invent that.

Sense of taste - Definitely not something I was warned about
I have heard this believe it or not.... Try not to eat from a stainless steel utensil for a plastic one. Someone I know had surgery on his bladder and noticed food tasted different. His wife gave him plastic and noticed the difference. I am not there yet but it's worth a try? Let me if it works?

Any Boston, Ma Gastric Sleevers Out There?
Well I used to live in Boston area all around... Brighton, South End, Somerville, Medford and Malden before I moved to a town near Worcester. Somewhat close... I have not been sleeved yet and hoping to hear a date either Nov or Dec. at Umass Memorial. Glad to see local people here!

Old habits....die hard.
Buy some sugar free candy they may help you stay away from the real stuff. Tomorrow is a new day and get back on track! Good luck!

Biotin
I think a head start before surgery is a great idea. I am going to buy some today. Also, not sure but I heard B12 vitamin works well with biotin... Any chemist out there?

The process is starting
Hi, I started in July 7th also! I still have 2 life skills classes then I'll meet with the surgeon probably early Nov... who knows if he wants to do those test prior surgery ? It varies person to person. Good luck and I bet you will get a date before me ????

- Need your Help/Advice - 5 months post Op
Happy Birthday! If I were you I would go to the doctor and get it checked out.- 5 months post-op, 110 lost! Pics!
You look fantastic! You are in my height weight range and thanks for inspiring me. I think surgery is going to be around late Nov. or Dec. I hope to have the same turn out as you- I can't wait to ?
Now that's funny... I was literally laughing out loud!!- I can't wait to ?
- I can't wait to ?
I can't wait to wear beautiful clothes again! Also to have better mobility...- Mindful eating
Thank you so much for the mindful thinking on how we should eat. I copied it and pasted on my notes. I will read this again and again to remind myself what am doing in this mission.- HOW many calories?!?!
No wonder so many of us gain weight because of going out to eat. We are better off cooking our own meals but then again who wants to cook every night. Many places now offer the "lite side" menu.- I made it into the Daily News!
I hope Alex makes it to a talk show like Dr.Oz . ????- Rosie O’Donnell Makes Hurtful Comments About the Lap-Band on “The View”
I just don't like her...never did and never will. I don't even know why the heck they hired her back? Ughh and for the rest of them...ugghh! The took the table away..ugghh. The View is doomed unless they do something about it. So for her say something so inadequate, insensitive she should keep her mouth shut. I hope the higher ups had a talk with her. I just hope she leaves.......- Let's talk scales
Thanks all for the great input...first my scale is somewhat inaccurate because I will get on I am this number then I get back on a minute later and it's a different number. Maybe I should put in a new battery and see if it make a difference. I do put it on a hard floor so that is not a problem. One of you said that money does not always make the value better so we shall see. I love the graphing idea and chart every time I get on the scale. Thank you James I wanted info on other scales. I will most definitely look into Bed and Bath Beyond for the one you mentioned. I just want accuracy. I am under 330 just will just work! Lisa - Need your Help/Advice - 5 months post Op
