    Medications

    Yay! Congrats
  4. Since being diagnosed w diabetes 2 I drink about 62-84 oz of water a day n about 2-4 cups of herbal tea. Will I have trouble drinking after surgery? I gave up coffee years ago n don't drink alcohol cuz gives me hot flashes. Also does everyone get cold cuz I have window open wear tea shirts all year round. Guess losing fluff n lowering blood pressure will change things. Maybe next winter?? Surgery target Feb. Oh so ready!!

    Water Tea intake etc

    Thanx much for feedback. So looking forward for surgery. Taking over 15 pills a day is insane! Can't wait to b healthier n have ONE chin! I have list 22 lbs since being diagnosed n eating healthier. Congrats to all
  6. I am excited getting closer to my surgery target date, Feb, my Valentine's gift to me n my son n husband. I still have more tests etc but am I the only one that wants to French Kiss her fav food goodbye? I m happy to say I am eating less now than ever n few things I did have like Blimpies n Wendy's were gross. But still will miss prime rib, BAKED potatoes, French bread n hot, buttered movie popcorn!

    Back n Hip pain

    Thanx much
  8. I was surprised to learn that people who have had surgery suffer from back n hip pain due to rapid weight loss. I was stunned since this is one of my reasons for surgery. How long did it take body to adjust n pain subside? I have bad sciatica n herniated disks for over 29 yrs n cortisone injections just don't last as long n pain prevents me from walking far etc. Thanx for feedback

    Height, Weight, And Size Poll

    I have been wearing shapeless clothes for so many years n had to work for a week at office. All I wore was one pair of sneakers cuz didn't want to go out. My bff suggested men's shoes n got the MOST comfortable Sketchers w memory foam in men's. What a crock! Women's socks n shoes suck! Men have the BEST socks n most comfy shoes n can't even tell. Another injustice! Lol

    Snacking Help!

    Lipstick Lady thank you so much for sharing your experience. I m French n while I understand little or no French bread, pasta n rice low-fat cheese n even worse to me is cottage cheese which I have always thot looks like baby puke! I have become a gastric forum junkie! I want to read everyone's experience, fears, triumphs. I knew duh I was fluffy but when I saw a photo from the side! Holy crap. Then I did bmi n found out I was morbidly obese. Hello...first part is morbid! I was freaked into thinking I was going to die if I don't do something soon. Been yo yo dieting for over 40 yrs n my family has all passed n want to be around for my 13 yr old. I will b damned if I die early if I cud have helped it n let his dad raise him. I went to back to school nite n was so wiped out from just doing my son's schedule. My fiance who has no cartilage in his knees even walked faster. Hopefully next year I will zip thru the halls!

    Metagenics

    Has anyone we had Ultra Meal? It has 15g of protein. Is that good? I have used these powders before n r filling. If these are allowed I'm good. Waiting till Jan to see nut. Going to see gastro n still need as sleep apnea test etc. Got sick w bronchitis n messed up my schedule. Hope I have enough time to complete everything. I know do my best n give up to God, I only have so much control.

    FRENCH KISS FAV FOODS GOODBYE

    Thanx for all the replies. I m so excited n reading posts from this n Facebook support groups are just great. I was going to invent a scarf to hide double chins but have too many hot flashes! Hopefully will get approved for Feb so I will b better for son's confirmation.
  20. As excited as I am for surgery, my Valentine's gift to me, I still have list of my fav foods to kiss goodbye. Some I gave already had turned out to be yuck n was better in my mind than actually. I will miss prime rib, French bread n hot fresh buttered popcorn!
  21. Congrats all! What protein do u guys use?
