Oh man that sucks! The thought of it already being post poned once and now MAYBE again!? Heartbreaking for you, I'm sure! But you know what? It's three weeks away - if you're on good antibiotics your bronchitis could be fully cleared up in a week. Two max. With hopefully a week to spare in good health again! So let's hope you are or get on antibiotics really quick and kick that bronchitis to the curb! Good luck again let us know what the surgeons says

Following. .. getting a tattoo in two weeks! (Have 2 already but before weight loss) I don't think it will matter because I think I've decided I'm getting it on my wrist... which I Don't think was really really fat to begin with so probably won't be too loose of skin there ????

hi I'm Heather Prince George, British Columbia CANADA

Omgoodness that's so awesome! I'm proud of you!! Congratulations!!!!

How'd your race go?

What's so odd is that both my feet and knees have gotten WORSE since I've lost weight!I know, weird right?! Maybe because when I was huge and inactive they didn't hurt so much but now that I'm way more active and doing a bunch of high impact exercises - that's why?! But even going to the beach and walking into the Water (against the current and waves, mind you) it hurts. It hurts to ride my road bike on even pavement without even a touch of incline. Ugh! I have another appoint with my knee surgeon in June, who knows, maybe this will be an appoint to book for a knee replacement! Yikes I'm way to young for one but if it helps.... Although he has told me in the past that I need to stop running so he'd be pretty pissed if he was doing a replacement just so I can start wrecking it hahaha We shall see. I used to run (poorly and painfully) - maybe I just need to let it go. I love biking and hiking mountains too so maybe I just need to accept that I am not a runner! I saved your post anyways. .. Heeheehee

I appreciate this, thank you! I'm going to figure out how to save it so I can use it when I'm ready to start running again. I STILL suffer from plantar fasciitis after 3.5 years and many different treatments. (Some very expensive that weren't covered under medical) I have a really bad knee too which I've already had minor surgery on it and it looks like that isn't going to be the last one. Thanks again!

Yay Elode! So excited for you! I can't wait to see the "after" pics! Like a month or so down the road! Lol I will be there someday soon ish!

Oh oh I just turned 40 - does this mean it's the new 25?!!??! I've been told I look like I'm in my 20"s again so I'LL TAKE IT! HEEHEEHEEHEE

I was trekked out of the bush last year via a 4x4 stretcher by 4 EMTS/firemen. I was more humiliated feeling like the fat whale on the stretcher than the bike crash itself.If that was to happen now - my weight wouldn't be an issue at all. It would be all about the crash and whatever is hurt that I'd need that stretcher and it would be about the ride in the ambulance to the hospital. Seriously, being this whale being pulled out of the bush by 4 grown men was the most embarrassing part of that experience! I know EXACTLY what you're saying!

I'm 6 months out and it's still really loud - especially with liquids like coffee & Protein drinks Sent from my SM-G900W8 using the BariatricPal App

I even take off my watch and wedding rings Lol It's an extra special bonus if by some miracle I have to have a number 2 (and of course always number 1) first thing in the morning before drinking Water and weighing myself! Sent from my SM-G900W8 using the BariatricPal App

Hiking up a few different mountains in my area and biking for 100+ distances. Actually a 367 km bike ride Sent from my SM-G900W8 using the BariatricPal App

Is this pouch test for sleeve or GB patients? Sent from my SM-G900W8 using the BariatricPal App Or both?

Hahaha yes....too early. You have many other things to concentrate on - only being a few days post-op.Worry about that if or when it happens, k! Good luck on your wl journey! Sent from my SM-G900W8 using the BariatricPal App

It might be just what you ate. Maybe 2 Cookies would've made you dump... maybe one cookie will make you dump next time. I think it's always going to be a test. Everything you eat is "testing." I haven't ever dumped... fully ... but I do get a racing heart sometimes and that's from my Protein shake in the mornings. I get that when I drink them too fast. Anyways... no idea the point of my story ... Hahaha Sent from my SM-G900W8 using the BariatricPal App

I don't think you even have to tell your own boss what surgery you are having. You just need to say "I'll need blank amount of weeks off as I am having surgery such and such date." You are not obligated to tell them anymore and they aren't allowed to ask. Surgery is surgery - they have to give you the time off required without question. Nobody else needs to know details. I believe this is correct information I am giving anyways hahaha Sent from my SM-G900W8 using the BariatricPal App

Yes and no. Yes with strangers, No to friends and family. When I was 82 pounds heavier I was miserable and wouldn't talk to or look at other people. I'd get grumpy easy and would speak my mind if someone pissed me off. Even if it was something so minor - ex: me holding the door open for someone and they'd walk thru without a "thank you" or a smile, nothing. I'd say loudly "you're welcome!!" Now because I'm happier and much more pleasant to be around, I think this reflects and radiates so I'm being noticed more. I'm much more talkative & I look at people (like at their actual face!) Because I'm more outgoing I believe this is why I'm being treated differently. Although I think I'd still say "you're welcome!!" even now, because that's just rude! When someone stands there and waits for you while holding a damn door open SAY THANK YOU! Sent from my SM-G900W8 using the BariatricPal App

First of all: burn that f**king book! Second: congrats on your weight loss so far!! Yay! Third: I know those looks from men ans women! Sheesh, it's like you went and dug around in my head for those thoughts! And lastly: did you burn that book yet? Sent from my SM-G900W8 using the BariatricPal App
