I'm also with you. Reading weight loss surgery cookbook for dummies. The world is an intimidating place all of a sudden! I'm still working on Protein as well so - don't feel alone!!!!

I love Old Navy! They used to call it "Diva" now I think it's called "Curvy". I have wider hips and a smaller waist.
Old Navy has several other cuts based on how your body is. But they're inexpensive, last forever, come in shorts and longs. And you can get them on sale for 12-15 dollars. Oh, I forgot the different denim. Usually 4ish shades. I love the super dark wash.
Huge fan!!

Lularoe - it fits as you shrink

Don't give up hope..keep trying and you'll get there

@rolosmom7, I don't know it's normal. You could call the dr and see what they say. It's frustrating as hell.
I'm happy to report that my scale finally started moving again in just the last 2 days. Say a prayer that it keeps going down.

I'm 4 months out, but have been stalled since 3 months. So basically over a month sitting at the same weight. It is really quite frustrating, and honestly depressing.
I know stalls are normal but this is like the stall from hell and so early out.

Dr. Heider in Mooresville. That's only 90min from you and he and his staff are excellent. You could also look into Duke and UNC Chapel Hill

I did Surgery in September and haven't lost any weight in 6 weeks. I totally get it. Idk what the deal is but it is frustrating!!!!

I'm at a 6 week stall. It sucks and I'm so frustrated

At least neither one of you went to Chapel Hill. That would be bad . Sent from Larry's S7

I went to State too -- back in the late 90s ... now live in Cary. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was only gone a few days... what on Earth happened?

P3 packs. I'm sure you've heard greek yogurt. Cottage cheese and fresh fruit. I'll do Peanut Butter and celery too, but use real peanut butter (just peanuts and salt, no filler). String cheese.

I didn't have it diagnosed, but it looked like it to me. Something about no chewing makes it so our teeth/mouth aren't as clean as normal. I brushed like 4 times a day. It's getting better. I'm 24 days out.

I can now get mine off to be cleaned/inspected without ANY lotion, soap, etc.

I eat the reduced fat wheat thins. I just count out a half serving, which is 8 crackers. Then put the box back. Hasn't set me back any, and are allowed by nut.

Oh, Alex. "terrorize"? Really?
Look, I'm not as outraged as some people are, and I'm not demanding that you delete my account. You're running a business and it's been helpful for me. But, it would be great if you'd not use that kind of language. I'm a military veteran, married to an active duty soldier and believe me, there's not one iota of terrorizing going on here. Bullied, maybe. Terrorized? Don't make me laugh.
The people you just either banned or caused to leave are the reason I'm here and the reason many people are here...I get NOTHING from newbies eating pizza in their bathrooms so their spouses don't know they're 'cheating'. But when LL slapped me upside my virtual head when I asked about wine at 6 weeks post-op? THAT helped. AND, it made me think 'hey, my team was wrong about BP, there are some nuggets of wisdom to be gleaned there'...I hate that they were right, and I'm going to have to admit it at my real-life support group meeting next week.
The snowflakes have had their fun, and when they all leave because they've hit goal or stopped losing because of their crappy habits, it's going to be sad and lonely around here...you may have 310,273 accounts (which we now understand to mean 'anyone who ever signed up, ever'), but you probably have about 50 active posters and about 100 more who drop in from time to time, in the sleeve forums. That's not a robust readership, by any means. I'm sad to see this, and although I may stick around for a while, it's only because of 2 or 3 people who I think need support...there's no support left here for me. And I'm going to buy my Vitamins, Proteins and Moon cheese elsewhere...I never get free shipping anyway.

I'm also a "grazer" in the sense that I eat 6 meals. Sometimes 7. But each meal would be someone else's small snack. It works for me and is really the only way I get my Protein in.

I have to get mine resized. I'm scared they'll fall off god only knows where. That'd be an awfully expensive replacement!

I have 3 garbage disposals!

I'm bipolar as well - and I've spoken on here with others concerning being able to take mental health meds immediately after surgery. It never came up for me (I did work with my programs therapist) but the surgeon never said anything about it.
There is absolutely no reason for them to deny you - if you're stable which sounds like you're doing great, you'll probably do better than most since you regularly see a therapist!
I hate the mental health stigma. Look for a program that makes you comfortable.

We do ham, black eyed peas, collards, and corn bread here in the south. I only care for collards, so never really been a new years dinner gal.
