Sugar is a carb.

I went to Dr to complain about a rash. Dr said it was weight related, gave me nothing. Went to a dermatologist, got a cream and it was gone in a week. After months of suffering. Too many doctors see fat and stop caring.

I would give up on the hot to be honest. I have a friend that is a super yogi type and told me that hot was a waste. I really wanted to get into hot, and they said it doesn't really do much for you. If you try regular yoga and you are still struggling then maybe talk to your Dr. Also maybe give it one more month. 6 month mark was a huge difference for me, even though I felt great before at 6 months I went to totally normal person mode. It is a definable shift I felt.

I grew up not being allowed to drink with meals. So it is kinda of an uncomfortable mental issue with me that I associate with negative food behavior. I don't rely on restriction to control my eating. I don't have the hunger issues some other people have. Sometimes I take a few sips with meals, most of the time I don't. I start drinking within 45 minutes or so after eating. If you don't know your level of control or will power, I wouldn't drink with meals or soon after. I definitely stop drinking before I eat so I have an empty stomach and can eat enough to meet my Protein goals. I struggle more with remembering to eat often enough to meet my protein goals and get in enough calories than over eating. In the beginning you should follow your program as closely as possible, then later on once you know yourself and your limits, you can change things to suit your needs and your lifestyle.

I had surgery on a Wed, came home on Thursday and when I got home I answered emails and talked to customers. if you have no issues and you have surgery late in the week, you could probably go back to work on a Monday if you had surgery on a Wed or Thursday. Did you tell them when they hired you, that you have a medical procedure coming up that you would need time off for?

If you have the right instructor you will be on fire in the pool doing Aqua Zumba, no chance of being cold. I used to sweat buckets. If you are cold in the pool, I would probably find something else to do, because it isn't working you out hard enough. I love aqua zumba and I lost a lot of weight doing it several years ago. It is so instructor dependent, the quality and energy of the trainer really matters. I won't waste my time trying it again unless I get a personal recommendation from someone young and active. A good class with a good instructor is like dancing for an hour at a club in Miami, a bad instructor is just like doing water aerobics, snooze city.

I always felt good in my clothes and felt I looked good. I mean not to toot my own horn, but I do give really good face. Now that I have lost and I am looking back at old picture, only now can I tell the difference. I was never the kind of person to shy away from pictures so I have tons. When I get down in the low 200s I think my mind and my ego are going to explode. Kanye will have nothing on me in the ego department.

@Rose1up! Bear Down! You look great. I am really looking forward to get all new Bears swag this Fall.

Low carbing as a lifestyle and not a diet is different. As some other people said, eating Protein first makes you a low carber by default even if you add in carbs at the end, you will get so few you are still low carb. I love low carbing, more specifically Iove eating Keto. I had issues with portion control before surgery so I would fail or stop losing. Now with the restriction, it is easy to stick to. Eating after surgery even though are tracking everything and some thing you don't eat, is not like dieting. It is a completely different thing, and I don't think you can understand the difference until after surgery. Your body and your desires are just different.

I haven't seen a girl scout all year, except on the internet. In my previous town they would have been all over, here, nothing.

It was kind of a fluffy article, but there should be more articles on the topic. I always felt smaller and thought I looked smaller than I was so now my reflection in the mirror closer matches how I aw myself anyway. I think trying on new clothes constantly is the best way to notice loses. I go shopping every week, and every week I look and feel smaller and the clothes prove it. Wearing the same clothes, and since most clothes have stretch now, will never really convey the weight loss like new clothes.

Nope. I have a very unique and valuable technical skill set that has always been highly valued and highly sought after by employers. So I never really faced fat discrimination in my field. Being a fat nerd kind of goes with the territory, no one cares. I have always been pretty, outgoing, vivacious and friendly. People are drawn to me and that hasn't really changed. I think a lot of people are treated by the outside world what the project onto the outside world. My Dad said people will treat you how you let them treat you.

If your stomach is producing a ton of acid it feels like hunger pain, but is really just excess acid. @@JamieLogical i've heard the above many times never understood how hunger and acid go with each other reason is-------------?? thanx kathy

Most drs say when you are off narcotics. I drove on the 2nd and 3rd day.

Packed too much stuff even though I brought very little. Bought too much stuff, been tossing it over the past week. All I need was lip balm, and my skincare for my face. I walked if I was awake, never used my Kindle, barely used my phone. The pillow for the ride home is a must. Don't buy a ton of supplies for after surgery. Your tastes probably won't change but your mood might.

I have always used nair.

Do you have to subscribe for that feature to work?

Your midi rings become just rings

When a man asks me that, I usually think he has low self esteem or self worth and I usually turn out to be right. A confident person doesn't look a gift horse in the mouth when a beautiful lady sits across from them. Dating a man that thinks you are too pretty for him, is a whole new set of problems.

Are you able to meet your Water and Protein goals? If not, when you are able to you feel much better. Not sure what your health was like nefore surgery, but people in better health to start feel better sooner.

Can you buy a plan on the marketplace? The marketplace plans in Illinois cover bariatric surgery.

If any of you scars are raised, the strips will help flatten them out fast. Also, you can reuse the strips and you can cut them in half, I was able to, my scars were small enough.

I'm not sure why excess protein in one sitting is even a debate for us, unless you are drinking it, and chugging it at that, it is pretty hard for a weight loss patient to consume in excess of 30g of protein in one sitting. If I am eating dense protein somewhere between 20-25 is my max.
