Omg I went today to have Mirena put in. Couldn't do it. It hurt so bad. I was in tears. I almost passed out. He couldn't see anything even with the HUMONGOUS speculum. He barely got the clamp on my cervix and I jumped. He measured my uterus and I almost died. Then he tied to put it in and couldn't see. He said he go it almost in but I jerked and said there was no way he could get it in and open without me screaming in pain. He said some people he has to put to sleep. I said "not thank you." I'm going back on Seasonale. Lol.

If you put hummus on a tree bark I would eat that stuff up. Hummus is good on anything!! I like hummus on chicken, in chili, in black Beans, on veggies, on those nutrigrain fake cracker things, on rice cakes, on pita, on anything!!

Let me tell you about the problems I have had a false positive drug screen for THC. My surgeon said my insurance may not cover my surgery due to it. I may have to do treatment and/or wait and be clean 6 months before they will do it. They also had an "intervention" with me and referred me to substance abuse treatment. I am a social worker in a drug rehab facility. I am a chemical dependency counselor. But they don't care. It's crazy.

Yeah sugar free stuff usually has a lot of carbs or fat in my experience. I just looked at Sugar free Reece's cups at Walgreens and carbs were ridiculous.

I had drank half and stopped after blerd's post. I'll dilute the rest tomorrow. I was just shaking and had a really bad headache and felt faint so the nurse here where I work thought it was low blood sugar and gave me juice.

I'm not on my pre op liquid diet yet. My surgery isn't supposedly until the end of November.

My current liquid line up. The juice is a little treat for today.

Ok, this is like a 3 part question. I'm pre op and drinking Protein shakes as Meal Replacements for 2 meals currently. I drink a Protein shake and get super thirsty so then I drink Water. Am I just flushing out the protein shake or diluting it? Should I wait to drink water after drinking a shake? Do Protein Shakes count as a liquid for Fluid intake after surgery? Thanks so much!

I love Pringles.

Yeah confidentiality doesn't matter if he's the policy holder. My husband is my policy holder and he has access to everything. Even stuff I don't want him to know. :-/

I am terrified of this sleep consultation and study lol.

I see what you're saying and I'm not trying to give you hard time. However. You've got to start somewhere. I'm sure most of us didn't wake up and impulsively decide to do this. Even starting the process is educative and helps a lot of us immensely.

This happened after my gallbladder surgery. It was a form of MRSA. I have a big ugly scar and bulge there still 2 years later.

My new obsession is wasabi almonds.

Unfortunately, full on food addicts can't do anything in moderation. The 'everything in moderation' thinking can sometimes get people into trouble. What happens when the restriction wanes and hunger returns (because down the road it does happen) and then there is nothing to help moderate things? People gain weight, that's what happens. Sometimes it's just best to abstain from certain trigger foods. Sad, but true. I don't t think that full on food addicts should have the surgery thenSooo with that logic full on heroin addicts shouldn't have suboxone or methadone? It's a tool as well. Not a miracle. It's hard work. Just like WLS. As Kurt Vonegut said and this posted on my wall in my office where I work as a social worker in a drug rehab facility: You were sick, but now you are well and there is work to be done.

Is your doctor a psychiatrist? I would suggest getting a psychiatrist for medication maintenance and symptom management. Just what I've learned in the field and my own experience with my doctor.

My insurance didn't require a diet and said a 6 month period un supervised diet within the last 2 years. So I'm not sure.

Yeeah. I'm stepping out of this one.

What is a "medication for hypochondriacs"? I'm in the mental health field and have never heard of this.

Everything changed for me when I had my consultation. I got off soda, I bought all sugar free stuff, I eat 4 oz of food every three hours to get used to it, I chew and chew for practice, I've started not drinking while I eat and I'm doing 2 Protein shakes a day so it will be easier on my liquid diet. YOU have to decide to make the changes and start practicing them. WLS is just a tool to help you eat less. It's up to you to do the rest.

I've tried lipozene, align, slim quick, and this green tea supplement. None work. I didn't really have any side effects either. I'll have to look into this.

Not sure with this whole false positive drug test. I'm still hoping around November 23rd. I go for my sleep consultation tomorrow and have my psych consult the 10/7, NUT 10/13 and Fitness thing on 10/21 then I will be done.

Feel bad for me. I haven't had a period since January and this one has been going on for 2 weeks. I'm switching birth control and they want me on my period for the new. That was a week ago. I'm using tampons and pads every hour and still soaking through underwater and pants. My uterus is angry and it hurts. I asked my husband to hook up my heating blanket so j can just wrap myself up in it and pass out and he made THIS HUGE DEAL out of it. "Haven't you ever had a period before?" My uterus wanted to jump out, dip him in chocolate and eat him.

My husband gets... aggravated I guess is the word when I talk about it. Or I said something about this time next year I'll be able to do whatever it was we were doing easier and he was like "if you lose the weight." Like ugh. Dripping with spew and ugly bitterness I needed a shower after he spit that out.

Yeah it hit me today I'm like 8 weeks out (if it all works out). In 6 weeks I'll be on all liquid diet.
