You can add some dark cocoa powder and Stevie and magic bullet it for a pudding type food

Maybe you could cook meals now and put in freezer bags for them. Using the slow cooker is a great way to make large quanities. It did that due to commuting when my kids were young. It worked really well. Just label each bag with the food name and date. Good luck

What about a incentive worthy introductory discount for first time customers

I just had band to bypass on Monday including a hiatal hernia fix. Where they took out the port is what hurts the most (the good news is the other incisions hardly hurt at all in comparison.) just be mentally prepared for the pain. I wasn't. Evidently the port is attached to muscle and they have to work it out (mine had been in 11 years, so more than you). I feel like I've been hit by a truck. The first day was awful - stay up on your pain meds. Every day is better.
I know that's hard to hear, but it's better to be prepared

You put into words exactly how I feel and I'll add feeling alone and lonely. My surgery is 9/13. I don't have a time yet. Good luck and good health to you

In my opinion you should make an appt. With your surgeon. Your husband should go with you. You should state firmly the diagnosis that you read without stating how you found out. You had injury to your body and you were not informed. How dare they not tell you!! You don't know If some complication could come from this later. You should then get legal council. Your anger is earned and justified. Best wishes to you

I looked in shop rite and online. Shop Rite doesn't carry it but they had Zero Artic. After surgery I'll order it on line. I assume they come in freezer boxes but some of the reviews said it was melted when they got it.

My surgery is coming up and I know I will have massive skin. This is the first time I was able to laugh about. Thanks

Garage sales and moving sales are great for buying used appliances. I just got my daughter a oster blender, coffee maker and mixer for $10.00. I get premier shakes at BJs wholesale and costco. Good luck

I also self sabotage. I try to look at the patterns and eliminate it. At one point it was drive thrus. I made a no drive thru rule and if I wanted the food I had to go in. I hated going inside so I eventually stopped. Look for patterns and make a plan around them. Another one was I would blindly eat at night. I made a no eating after 8 rule and ate dinner a little later. That helped too. Good luck Sent from my VS986 using the BariatricPal App

I was denied first then I filed an appeal, sleep apnea, thyroid disease and the denial was overturned. I also got all the requirements done in 6 weeks, stress test, blood work, psych, endoscopy, dietician.... That made a big difference in getting Sept surgery date. Good health to you

I had a similiar situation at work and felt the same going to someones home where desserts/snacks were being served. I would fight the urge in the moment, but think about the food and then binge later. What I decided to do was carry something OK to have and that I liked in limited quantities so that I could have a treat too in those moments and not feel deprived. I chose Dove Dark chocolate squares and kept 4 in a baggie in my bag. It helped a lot. Limiting the amount was sometimes a challenge, but basically it worked

I am a real coffee lover. I gave it up with both of my pregnancies and was reewarded with 2 beautiful children. In being sleeved on 9/13. I will gladly give up coffee again to be rewarded with good health.

I ignored my health for years due to my job-huge resposibilty-extreme stress. I ended getting very sick and retiring from a field that I loved. Now its a year later. They survived without me but I almost didn't. Take care of yourself first. I learned that the hard way

I have learned, especially recently, that I don't have to defend my life choices to anyone. I also try not to join their ignorance by insulting them back. When someone criticizes anything about me, my opinions or my choices, I simply say "It works for me" , I end the discussion and I change the subject. I'm getting better the more I do it and it is amazing how negative people don't know how to handle the lack of emotional response. Best wishes to you.
