  1. Any advice for getting through mind hunger?!!! I have it so bad!!!!
  2. I'm praying God will open his eyes and heart! I'm sorry for your hurt! I'm at praying God will soften him and send him home! Jesus loves us so much and hurts when you hurt! Give it all to Him and have faith!
  3. Honestly Bruce a BMI over 30 is considered obese. Unless you are a board certified bariatric surgeon I'm not sure you know what your talking about lol I've heard of BMIs as low as 28 needing surgical intervention due to obesity with comorbidities....

  8. I am using the Vitamelts and just put in for another order. There is absolutely no chewing they melt in your mouth and the flavors are great too. They have other suppliments too besides the multivitamin. I get mine online from Swanson online. Hope this info helps. I also got Calcium gummy bears today. Vitamelts just got added to my list of things to get for post op lol!!! Thx
  9. That's exactly it they know if they give you a million hoops to jump through you'll get exhausted from the process then they won't have to pay for it!!!! Insurance is so expensive it's such a sham!
  10. PMJ 16lbs in 2.5 weeks!!!! This is awesome!!! Good job!!!!
  11. This app is awesome!! It's great support!! When are you having your sleeve done!? I'm also about 200 lbs I can't wait to see how quick the weight falls off!
  12. So I keep reading about it! How long has it lasted for each of you guys?
  13. Messing with insurance stressed me out so I did a online consultation with a Dr in Mexico and am self paying for it! No fuss it's easy and around 5000 dollars! I've had two friends go to this Dr and had wonderful experiences.
  14. Good luck to you also! Yup it's definitely a moment of enlightenment when you realize your stomach has so much extra weight on it you look pregnant!!! It's also good therapy I feel to share this with others on this site. I've never talked about it with anyone before out of shame and embarrassment! I always cry and even though I have mentioned it to my mom a little I never shared the full devastation in my soul then people think I'm pregnant and I know it's because I've let myself go to such a extent! It's the worst feeling ever! Definitely keep up with me message me anytime I've having mine June 8th in Mexico!!! I can't wait! Good luck
  15. How long till you guys were up feeling normal, taking long walks, getting out shopping etc????
  16. @@bluesclues it upsets me to very much. A actual labor and deliver nurse asked me a few week back by saying "now I know you didn't swallow a watermelon". I looked at her looked at my stomach and very dryly said nope, "I'm just fat"........then I added "I'm going to go stick my finger down my throat now". People are so rude I would never ever ever ask anyone who wasn't a obvious 9 month about being pregnant... I actually did once in college kinda asked a girl in my class. She looked so pregnant with a giant round firm belly and asked her if the stink in our class from whatever we were doing made her sick. She said why would it??? Then I picked up she wasn't pregnant. Now even if they are huge as a house I keep my mouth shut bc I know how it feels.
  17. Yes I love stevia and agave for my sweeteners! I guess I just won't do sugar free jello crystal lights or gatorades or any of the things on the diet that have artificial sugars in them. This tea sound fabulous. I'll try it for sure!
  18. Yup. Though I mistakenly said "in water", they're marinated in some sort of acidic broth, probably lemon or vinegar; you can scoop out a few spoonfuls, add some of the liquid they come in then add some tomato paste or ketchup and you have yourself a mini-cocktail. They're soft, so they're easy to chew/digest and provide good Protein. Are they fishy tasting?
  19. I just worry because 2 years ago I had a CT for a kidney stone and it showed a fatty liver I'm worried about that!
  20. Oh wow!!! That's a little wild but I'd try it lol!!! Thanks for sharing I've never seen mussels this way!
  21. Virgo, I also want to try the syntax! You sound very prepared!!! You'll do great it sounds like!
