You know I never received the results of my last labs. The RN just called and said he wants you to do iron infusions. I usually get my results online at my chart but they are not showing for some reason

I had to have one about a year after surgery. I've been slightly anemic most of my adult life so that wasn't new. The supplements hadn't helped for a year so my surgeon sent me to a hematologist. Had the infusion and then got put on another supplement. I haven't had to have another infusion since. I go to my hematologist every 6 months though.

Hi,

I'm curious what your Iron level was? I've always been iron deficient but not too bad. Just had my
Levels checked and my iron is super low. At what point is infusion an option?

Here's my before & after as of this morning--sorry for the undies:

At 300lbs, I thought 170/5'11" was ambitious but now that I'm here I think I could stand to lose another 20-30lbs. I THINK a lot of it is loose skin (my thighs are now made of pugs), but honestly I can't really tell, maybe I'm just making excuses for still being tubby lol. When is too early to start looking into plastics?? (not that I could afford it but a girl can dream....)
Having a personal moment of silence for my booty disappearing. You will be missed. Thank you for being a sacrifice to the weight loss deities.
That's all I got, just wanted to share this victory with someone

I'm in the exact same boat. I had my surgery February 20th and since early July I have been stuck at 70lbs lost (since surgery). I too have been stress eating and giving into cravings since I had to put my beloved cat to sleep last month. Then I also keep injuring and re-injuring myself every time I exercise. I keep thinking, maybe I'm just supposed to be this weight. I'm about 30 pounds from my amended goal weight and it is seeming impossible to get there.

Yes Starbucks, My plan 2 months.

It's a small price to pay for the overall goal. I can live without eggs much better than I was living at 300 pounds. I miss them mostly because many Breakfast items are carb heavy but I am figuring it out.

I cannot wait to try these....in a few months

Do you buy them at Starbucks? What phase do you have to be in to get them?

OMG those egg whites with bell pepper are life savers when I'm rushing around town and need to get my meal in. And then I order a cup of Water with it. lol

Yeah my daughters high school friend used to work there and I got my coffee free.... well now that they've graduated and gone on to college I am faced with a double whammy! College tuition and having to pay for my coffee LOL!

Ohh we have the same order. High Five!
Yeah I try to only go on double points days or on dash days. I am in no danger of ever losing my Gold Status

Right??? costco always discontinues things I like too!

Sadly I literally give Starbucks like $50 a week many times! My flat white and my egg bites cost $9.10

Ugh I read how to make them and looked up the equipment and decided I would just let Starbucks do the work. When they discontinue them like they do everything delicious. I will look into making them myself.

Instructions please! I got a sous vide from my mother in law for my birthday since I'm addicted to these... she figured it would pay off for the amount of $$ I give Starbucks, lol! But I haven't figured it out yet.

I'm Camp Starbucks Egg Bites. Any they are super easy to make at home with Sous Vide equipment. I like whole eggs with cottage cheese, served with cherry tomatoes, pine nuts, basil olive oil.

I love them! I can easily eat 2, I could eat 4 if I wanted, they don't trigger restriction. Luckily they are delicious and very satisfying, no reason to over eat with them. They are my go to Protein on the go if I can't get nuggets from ChikFilA

I feel ya. It tastes like powder. Funny how everyone has different taste buds.

Love em!

I've heard so many people rave about them so I gave them a try, and about threw up. The texture is so gross to me. I'm glad they work for you, though!

Yes! These are my go to if I have to grab a meal on the run. They are delicious.

Yes they're awesome! Moist, tasty and filling. I had the all veggies one.

Has anyone tried these? There are delicious. 2 egg bites have 19 grams of Protein and 9 carbs. I get the bacon and cheese. I can only eat one they are so filling. I can get two meals out of one order. They also have egg white with red peppers.

I’m sorry you haven’t received a response. I hope they get back to you soon. My surgeon was the one that wanted me to do it so I can’t imagine it would be a bad thing. Good luck [emoji256]
