  1. You look fabulous. I wouldn't worry about what others think do what's best for you, it's your body.
  2. Hi,there's a lady on here (mammajamma42) wanting to get rid/selling so close your size. Maybe you could speak with her?@@newlanashegog
  3. There's a lady in here right now looking for those sizes. I will pass it on.
  4. I can't tell you for positive but I saw my primary DR for a referral and while I was there I was told previously to make sure she wrote in the notes for that Visit that I was there for obesity. That counted towards my 3 month supervised diet. I didn't get any diet meds or anything else. I have BCBS Fed.
  5. I've read this topic a lot on here. As long as you aren't running a fever you should be fine.
  6. Never heard of it. Is it low carb too?
  7. I personally start to hiccup. Instantly probably after about 4-5 bits and I'm done. I'm lucky to have a cue I suppose
  8. I was told to practice eating sloooow. And waiting the 30 min before and after I eat to drink. I did great with all but eating slow. I'm still working on that
  9. If I were you I'd just wait another week to weigh.
  10. @@amyecpa I can't sleep very long either, I'm beginning to think its all these vitamins I take.
  11. How many calories/food are you eating? If you caloric intake is too low that can cause headaches.
  12. Wow I'm surprised he can guarantee you any numbers. That's fascinating truth is he can't. He can give you obtainable ranges based on experience but there's absolutely no set guarantee numbers. Now with that being said you have the potential to do great with either surgery if you follow the plan and do your part! As far as which surgery you will have to do your research and figure out which you feel is best for you. Both are life changers. Of course I'm all for the sleeve but I could be a bit bias. Neither way good luck with your decision and future journey!
  13. @@marbelvsg What?! That's just crazy! A few incisions are turning him off? I'm not laughing at your situation but I did lol at his stupidity. You can reassure him (if you think it's even worth it) that your incisions will heal and that drain will be removed. I'm not not going to bad mouth your husband And I'm not about to give you relationship advice seeing as how your husband/wife relationship is not my business BUT I would just focus on Getting your water, protein, and healing completed. Don't worry to much about his attraction issues, you can deal with that nonsense later...on to bigger and better things
  14. @@Wannabeskinnie My Walmart carries it with the regular PB I think? You may just need to ask someone at the store.
  15. No for me but I know some can...I'm not brave enough to even try any carbonation. I burp enough thank you very much!
  16. She may need to water it down a bit.
  17. @@wannaBthinsoon I'm getting clip in hair extensions. I ordered them from Australia so I'm still waiting. They should be here this week (hopefully) they are 22 inches so I will have to take them to the salon and have them cut and layers. Hopefully it will all work out they are 250 grams so thick! We shall see. I will try to remember to take a picture once it's all said and done. My profile picture is my real hair and length. This is the longest it's been in like 20 years. It's still sheding. It stops and starts. I took the profile picture 3 days ago so you can see it's not too bad right now.
  18. Yes, a lot of people do unfortunately. Mine just started (4 months out) I have a post in "trending topics" you can read over with lots of replies about hair.
  19. We just made chicken tacos with a cauliflower shell that was really good. It's ground up after you steam it with an egg so it's soft, no problems with it. I've had a few bits of salad, steamed carrots, grilled beets ect... I haven't had any issues with anything. I don't normally eat much since I'm full of protein at that point.@@Shannon Piper
