Lmao.... Never went out! There was this thing happening in Chicago... Kind of historic, had me out too many nights over the last couple of weeks.. The Apex of it? Oh yeah. WE WON THE WORLD FRICKING SERIES!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna agree with @@Dub and reserve the right to celebrate late. The entire city of Chicago has been on a month long bender!

I'm with you on the house thing... Planning a move to another state in the next year. Still need to sell the one I'm in, but the looking at what's available now is obsessive. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm renaming this thread... Where's the cheese??? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Never thought of grabbing SF preserves... I can blend in my own herbs. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Daniel. Your progress never ceases to amaze me Wow. Go get 'em!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I drink. Vodka and soda, splash of diet cranberry May have two or three tonight as my Cubs go to take the World Series. Hell. I may have 3-4 if they win. Alcohol causes a quick buzz, and it's gone within 20 min. No other effects. I'm 7 mos post op. Had my first drink around 5.5-6 mos. one a week maybe? During this WS ru. Being out, have had several others a week lol No beer, only vodka. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm having a couple pieces of Jarlesberg as a snack as we speak. My very favorite cheese.There is one called a Derby SagePerfect fall cheese. Try and locate it and then don't kill me for the new addiction lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App *Getting coat on running to the store*Have to tell you, cheese has been an addiction for the last several years. Living in Chicago, we get a lot of cool artisanal ones from Wisconsin. That derby sage tastes like Thanksgiving to me. It's a firm white with sage marbled all through it. Love this one white cheddar with cranberries I find on occasion. Then, another hard white called Prairie Breeze. Has a sharp/sour profile and is best shaved thin and enjoyed. What's fun but I can no longer enjoy are the new fruit jams they make for cheese and fruit pairings. Blueberry with Lavendar to go with a white sharp cheese, the ever wonderful fig spreads, look...

I paint them and use them as decor in the yard, but to use for raised beds? New obsession coming.... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'd like to think nothing... And then I look at the sheer volume of Moleskins and markers, and pencils and crap....in a duffle bag I drag around when needed. And the Pinterest posts on BJ'ing, and the washi tape.... Damn. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Omg. I should add..... Bullet Journals!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The Goodwill idea is solid. I see your user name says Chicago... Have you gone to suits 20/20 in Niles? You can pick up a couple nice pieces there very reasonably and the tailor there is wonderful. Get my boys suits there...Tiglio Luxe for 1/3 of the price and if you buy right, you can get them altered down a few sizes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@LipstickLady.... You should really consider another hobby... "no judgement" Sent from Dee~Dee via BariatricPal Seems to me like you want others to talk about it so you feel better about what you did.. But me having something off plan PRE op is a whole lot different than you trying to rip your stomach open by eating chicken breast n salad when it hasn't healed yet and you're still on liquids.. Thats your choice it would scare me Munky Sooooo..... Did anyone ever have the, "what happens when you ASSUME things" talk with you???.. might just want to review it before you make public posts. Just a thought. Sent from Dee~Dee via BariatricPal Wait. What was it you were saying about ASSuming? This is why I wished the previous poster good luck with the hunger thing. YOU might want to review it before you make public posts. http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/381323-hmmm/ Unless you have some type of healthcare degree.... As I do... Im not going to entertain you further.... Move on. Sent from Dee~Dee via BariatricPal I do!!! Like a real, live in paper degree! Eight plus years worth of it!!!! From a real university! And guess what? @@LipstickLady has NEVER given out medical advise, she has ONLY spoken of her OWN experience and people like you do nothing but flame and cause issues. So, if this is how YOU treat any actual patients in your care, with this negative, nasty attitude, please let me know where you practice so I make certain I do not refer anyone your way going forward. I believe it is time for YOU to move along. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I wasn't a candidate for the sleeve due to other health factors, bit if I did have a choice, would have still chosen bypass RNY. LOVE the accountability of it, GERD resolution and weight loss. If I'd had sleeve, don't know if I would have been as successful. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What are those???? I need to know! Loving plaid this Fall! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Can't answer for the poster you referenced, but docs aren't going to take you off antidepressants for surgery. Celebrex is an anti inflammatory drug and can impact the lining of the stomach.... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The 30 min rule BEFORE eating is suspect... Some require it, others do not. I'm allowed to drink up until I take my first bite of food. I don't think it is a hard and fast rule.... But that's just MY OPINION...so drop the weapons peeps Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I put a greeting card flat over the top of the cup to remind me not to drink out of it during that time. Great idea!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

VSG is a more difficult surgery to recover from than bypass.... There's a greater surface area to heal. You need to be super careful!!! As for incisional pain-- unless it is showing any classic signs of inflammation- bleeding, pus, heat ( I'm not including pain, swelling and redness for a reason...you are healing so those will be present) remember that your tissue was cut in to. You will also experience the sensation of nerve regeneration as part of the healing process, so sharp, quick pains are also normal as the nerve fibers try to reconnect themselves.
