HEY EVERYONE!!! I’m a domestic violence caseworker in the Bay Area. Our shelter is in need of clothes for plus-size clients! If you have clothes to donate.

*Just in case I️ miss your message and can’t tell you directly, PLEASE CALL OUR DIRECT DONATION LINE AT (925) 603-0130 DURING REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS PST*

ESPECIALLY if you’re planning on shipping/mailing us

Saw this on twitter and thought I would share, hopefully we'll never need those plus sized clothes again!

Thanks spare and everyone, so excited for you and all of our October sleevers🙏🏻😊

Thanks everyone, just focusing on getting liquids in so I don't end up in hospital with dehydration. Everyday is better 🙏🏻

Had surgery Tuesday 10/3 came home today 10/4. The gas pain is real guys so is the soreness and nausea, managing pain with narco hope to be off that by Friday. Everything tastes sweet, even Water, can't imagine having to start Protein Shakes tomorrow... one day at a time. Praying for everyone to have safe and effective surgery and full quick recovery.

Also eyes are super blurry 🙃

Has anyone tried BariMelts Vitamins? Are they super chalky like Zicam melts(the cold remedy) cause those make it nauseous.🤢

Annnnd that's exactly how it happened! I'm scheduled for the 3rd. I meant after the surgery, hospital stuff, pain after, liquids, what you wish you had known, done differently 😊

Not really any tips. The whole process was pretty smooth. My first appointment was April 25th and by June 22nd I had y surgery. The wait time can be a little long in the office. You will need a letter from your primary care doctor. You will also likely need to have a psychiatric evaluation. It will really depend on quickly you get those done. He will then do an endoscopy and you will meet with the nutritionist before you start the two week diet.

I feel ya Bill, but everything you crave or will binge on, you've already tried. Man it's going to feel so good knowing we did it without cheating and that we're that much stronger.

A week from tomorrow ... good luck I'm going in on 10/5. My last weigh in and appointment with the nurse practitioner is tomorrow at 3. I've been eating so healthy and lost 35lbs. I feel like maybe I should have just one last binge hurrah considering it will be the last one of my life... idk tho
