I think you need to self examine why you would sabotage yourself with not one but two drinks, not to mention bugles. Be honest with yourself. Remember this will not work if you are continually not following the program. An occasional treat is one thing, just be careful of the tendency to fall off the wagon this early in the process.
Secondly eating slower is to 2 fold. It allow your brain and tummy time to communicate that you are full and thus prevents over eating. If you food gets cold, you could try serving smaller portions and if you are still hungry then getting seconds.

I find that warm fluids are helping me

In NYC too. Mr. Mayor has said to expect 2-3 FEET (ugh) and that it could possibly be the worst storm the city of New York has seen in its recorded history.
At least I'm on a liquid diet and didn't have to go to the grocery store ???? trying to see the positive here!

I lived in Hanau when I was little. Now living in North West NJ

You're always going to have people that don't support your decision. The decision is yours and yours only. I figure by the time someone has made the decision to do surgery they have tried everything. I know for myself that trying another diet one more time would be pointless. Best of luck to you

Even though that was probably very embarrassing...it was probably the best feeling in the world!

I care because keloids are uncomfortable. The rub against your clothing and be quite irritating. I don't see anything wrong with correcting something that can be corrected. I've had major surgery before. Several times in fact. There is nothing wrong with using a simple fix to correct the after effects.

Call the doctor. Usually 2 rounds of diflucan takes care of things for me. You can also try adding pure cranberry juice and greek yogurt to your diet. FYI - Ocean Spray is not pure cranberry juice. There is also an cranberry pill you can get OTC but be warned it turns your urine a florescent shade of orange. The acidity in the cranberry will kill the yeasties.

People also need to remember that having a BMI of 35 is not healthy either!

Yes it does sound strange...Ask your surgeon or BCBS for clearance requirements!!!!!

Given that anything going in your anus would have to travel at least 25 feet through your intestines to reach your stomach, I'm going to guess hell no unless your partner is some kind of serious anatomical freak or you have the world's longest toy at your disposal.

So I've already posted to this topic, but at first I only told people that needed to know I was having surgery and surprisingly got a really good response from everyone(including people I didn't think I would get support from). Yesterday, I decided I would start telling people at work. The one person I told was very supportive. The other one said I feel like that is just the jump start to a terrible diet. You won't be able to eat like a normal person. I told her eventually I will be able to eat just not as much and yes I will not be able to tolerate some foods. I told her what I consider "eating normal" got me in the position I am now. Now maybe it's wrong of me to think that she would be supportive because she's overweight(heavier than me) has had heart issues, on bp meds, 1 step from a heart attack, etc. But her comment just pissed me off. I thought she would understand that after failing several times at dieting that I made this choice to get healthier. Obviously, her comment got to me, but I just needed to vent and I will not let her comment stress me out! Thanks for listening. I just needed to vent.

Don't feel bad. Guess what? You're human and you messed up. It's done. Just kick those negative feelings right out the door. Start fresh! Don't let 21 days of hard work be for nothing!
