what is a reader?

You sound like me. .I'm tired of being in the same clothes and I'm sure ppl ate tired of seeing them too but I refuse to buy anything now. .I WOULD GO TO GOOD WILL OR WALMART AND GET A CHEAP ONE! WM USUALLY HAS THEM THAT ARE IN STYLE BUT CHEAP SO THEY DON'T LAST BUT THAT'D BE PERFECT!

That's the job for me...I'd much rather deal with cattle than people...

I love Caribbean cooler but you have to be a fan of pineapple coconut banana. Mint cookie. .but i think peanut butter cookie is absolute best. It does have some carbs in that one but I swear it tastes just like my homemade peanut butter cookies! Haven't had any I don't like.

Gosh I hope maybe we will have surgery around the same time! I'm January for sure!

I forgot about that...i quit taking acid reducers a few weeks ago! I'll start taking them in the evening instead of morning like I was! Thanks u bunches!

I got mine! Didn't want anything to stand in my way of surgery!

Oh about the eating late, I've just always read and heard to stop eating at six. I know the rules will be different post op.

Well you sound like my fiance lol. He said the same thing lol. I don't know, since I was approved in Sept but surgery was booted out til January, I have just tried to keep losing or at least not gain. Anyway, I gave in and ate because I had to have some sleep. I'm not kidding I'm like a zombie here from not sleeping much the last few weeks. I'm just weird sometimes can't eat =no sleep.

I have a BELLA that is made like the bullet but cheaper.

I am pre op but I am NOT telling work. Just like I don't tell what I did over the weekend, where I'm going on vacation, or anything else in my personal life for that matter. I'll keep you posted!

Awesome! Prayers for you!

I just try not to eat after six then I can't sleep. It's almost 9 here.

So I've got nectar....is that ok at night? I guess of course it's better than the leftovers that r haunting me.

Anyone have any tips for trying to get to sleep when you're starving. I tried the decaf, sleepy time tea the last two nights. .and here I am again wide awake as a hoot owl starving...I've drank like 4 huge glasses of water over the last hour or so...this is not head hunger. .this is my stomach growling. ..and I'm just trying to be good not on pre op diet yet or anything. Thanks

I fully intend on asking my surgeon at my next appointment but do most people get instructed to NOT take the meds the day of surgery?

me too

One of the many reasons that I'm keeping my journey SECRET....bless you're heart. .you bake on gal!

Like you, I was ok with being a big girl, and it seemed so was everyone else. But when you start hurting and realize that you're very unhealthy and people start looking at you differently, you know you've got to make a change. I started out at 311 so we're pretty similar in that. I pray for the best for you and your journey.

thanks! I'm gonna hold of getting them til after surgery. .I would eat way more than a serving now lol...i forget that won't happen later

Something to be very THANKFUL for!!!

Hey ya'll. I'm still pre-op. I know post op it will take long periods of time to eat and drink and get that all in. But months down the road can you ever eat faster? Just a little concerned because I'm just a fast eater and a fast drinker. I just don't want to have to spend an hour and a half per day eating Slowly.

I saw them on amazon. ..i remembered seeing them before when needing a reminder wasnt necessaryso I thought nothing of it..i may get one! Thx!

I was worried about the carb content since it says rice on them. I was in a hurry so I didn't even pick them up to look when I saw that. .guess I'll look them up.

Where in the world did you get that water bottle?
