Treadmill vs running outside
So...Im a student and just transferred. My new school has a gym where membership is included with tuition. I have a 2 hr break in between some classes and was considering restarting C25K. I LOVE running outside but i don't have time this semester. What is the difference? Is it just as good?

Did you have to share a room in the hospital?
I shared with another bariatric patient. The floor was for people specifically recovering from stomach and intestinal surgeries. I didnt hear any vomiting though. We were given quite a bit of anti nausea medication.

No pizza for 4-5 months???
Yes but there are a lot of alternatives. Im 1 year post OP and still cant eat most breads (thin slice sprouted wheat is the only one really.) Cauliflower pizza is off the hook, healthier, and wont mess you up lol.

Regrets???
Yes but theyre small and i wouldnt have these regrets if i didnt start eating better (which i did because of surgery.) So not much of a regret as an "awww man!" For example. I recently tried asparagus for the first time. It was freaking amazing! Like wow i could eat this every week for a year lol. However i cant tolerate them at all.

Post Surgery Tastebuds Changes: tell me yours
I used to be a chocoholic. Now it's ok at best and usually only consumed as hot cocoa. I'm absolutely in love with salt. I wasnt into salt before. I don't like candy as much because it's too sweet! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Has anyone tried Orange theory?
We have one opening up soon. What is it about? I mean like...what makes it different than any other gym? To be honest I thought it was a juicing place at first [emoji23]

Aunt flo is killing me! Any advice?
I heard of some problems with Essure. My husband got a vasectomy instead but I'd get it if it meant I could be free from anemia

Aunt flo is killing me! Any advice?
I haven't had an increase in flow. It's my normal flow and I'm struggling with iron. I don't want any more kids. In fact my husband had a vasectomy. I hated being pregnant with a passion lol.

Aunt flo is killing me! Any advice?
Like seriously! Pre surgery I was an avid blood donor. Now I'm constantly on the verge of needing a transfusion. I take around 90mg iron. I cant take birth control because of liver problems. I was thinking uterine ablation or something to help lighten it. Any advice?

Diet Soda at 9 months post op?

Compression clothing?
I had jeggings but I guess I lost enough weight to make them just pants lol. Then again loose skin wasn't an issue when I bought them
-
Compression clothing?
So I finished C25K! I then...injured myself and was doing walking only for a bit so I could still lose weight. Now I've started C210K (not continuing since i took a month off) and it is painful to run. The belly jiggle was just embarrassing before but now legitimately hurts. Same with doing non running cardio (jumping jacks, burpees, etc.) Has anyone had this problem and tried compression clothing? Does it help?

Has anyone tried lactose treatment drops with premier protein (or other drinks)?
I haven't but I was a huge Lactaid fan before surgery. They make a chewable tablet as well. Used to buy the generic and it wasn't too bad. SW: 366 CW: 315 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!

Donating Plasma Post Gastric Sleeve
Where I live you can't "sell" bodily tissue and that includes blood components. Therefore we cannot get cash. Make sure you are selling and that its legal where you live. I was deferred for plasma, platelets, and double red units because of asthma but I was a prominent whole blood donor before! Make sure you stay on top of everything because it will wear you out!

Increased Sex Drive, better orgasms?
Oh my god yes! And it wasn't like this when I was the same weight years ago. I'd go twice a day if he was up for it. And Way better than when I was in my early 20s. Things have definitely gotten Wild in the bedroom SW: 366 CW: 315 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
