I'm at very high risk of serious illness from COVID-19 due to pre-existing health conditions. In particular, I have a blood clotting disorder that is likely to be seriously exacerbated by COVID-19. My hematologist put it: "We can barely keep you from clotting now, throw COVID-19 in the mix and you would definitely get blood clots."

I'm fully vaccinated, I'm still keeping my distance when I can and I wear an actual N95 mask when I can't socially distance. So I'm doing what I can to be careful and beyond that, it's out of my control. My stress level has gone down quite a bit since getting vaccinated, but I'm aware that the delta variant is a potential threat. Ultimately, I'm trying to exercise good judgement and trusting God with the result!

Getting fully vaccinated does make the stress level go down because somehow we feel that we are protected. Do you work? were you allowed by your company to work from home?

I just did what I could to avoid getting it (masking, social distancing, handwashing, and getting the vaccine as soon as I was eligible), because realistically, that's all anyone can do. You don't have control over other things - and if you do all of those things, your chances of getting it - or getting a bad case of it - are greatly reduced.

Yes I believe so too, when are you scheduled to get vaxxed?

My top favorite is Barimelts because of the methylfolate and methylcobalamin. Also, optisource tastes like Orange Sherbert, very easy to chew and I enjoy the taste.

Has anyone tried homemade kale chips? I saw someone post it on IG and I tried it, it cooked on an air fryer. I also like sugar free Jello

I have not bought clothing in a long time since I’m not going anywhere special but my youngest daughter convinced me to buy it for a date night. I didn’t think I could fit it but she said it’s small and you’re small (as if that’s how it works 😩) well she was right. I think it is a generous cut.

Lovely dress, really looks good on you

Congratulations on your surgery and welcome to the forum!

Were you able to push thru with your surgery?

I am glad that most of us are doing everything we can to avoid getting the virus and most of us decided to have the vaccine. It's our way of helping the society

Many Americans continue to experience mental health difficulties as the pandemic enters the second year. Reports say that about a fifth of U.S. adults (21%) are experiencing high levels of psychological distress, including nearly three-in-ten (28%) among those who say the outbreak has changed their lives in “a major way.” Not surprisingly, psychological distress is higher among those who express concern about becoming ill with COVID-19 or believe that the disease is a major threat to their personal health.

Have you in any way feel that the virus is a major threat to your health? What have you done to overcome this feeling? Were you already vaccinated?

Weight goals are achieved by a combination of changes in diet, exercise, eating habits and keeping your emotional life in balance.

I am looking forward to more adventurous trips like hiking, trekking, biking

Usually the first step is medication (proton pump inhibitors and carafate if ulcer is suspected) followed by diagnostic endoscopy.
I would suggest you insist on the endoscopy since you’ve been dealing with this so long (hopefully it’s done by your surgeon) because it can show nuances that can be missed through other imaging.

Get well soon!

I agree too, but I also hope he gives you something for temporary relief

That was me. I lost all my boobs and was left w empty sacs. Buiuttttt there is Hope! I got a lift and an aug and now they are firm and perky!!
Don’t worry girl. Getting the weight off is first. Deal w the girls later. Who knows maybe you won’t lose them. Some people don’t.

So a lift and an aug will help.

Was on vacation in Maui last week with Mom, Sister, Nephew, and Niece. Had an amazing time and took a surf lesson with the kids. So much fun! Would have never been able to do this before! Sunset is from the backyard of Mom’s Maui house. Fam pic from left to right: Sister, Niece, me, Nephew, and Mom. Kids are almost 13 and almost 15.

Looks like you really had fun and the place looks awesome

Breakfast Time! (or lunchtime…however u want to look at it…)

Watermelon, feta, dried blueberries, fresh mint, with a healthy squeeze of lemon juice: 134 calories. Plan on eating it all.

That looks really good, I need to try and make one later

You’ve just had pretty major surgery. You’ve dramatically changed your diet. Your body is still in shock & consciously or unconsciously you’re probably a bit upside down emotionally as well. Give yourself time to recover from surgery physically & emotionally first & then sees what happens. Don’t stress too much about not orgasming at the moment as it will likely make it more elusive.

Congrats on your surgery.

I agree with you

so sorry about the miscarriage, I think you have to ask your doctor about your lapband
