  1. I have and it's caused me to try all sorts of things like eggplant lasagna. Turns out I don't like eggplant lol. Next up: Pizza with cauliflower crust SW: 366 CW: 329 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  2. Has anyone tried flattening a carbonated beverage and drinking it? I'm not talking soda but flavored water. I'm so freaking tired of Propel! SW: 366 CW: 329 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  3. Current weight Starting weight Goal weight SW: 366 CW: 329 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  4. Before surgery I was a lark owl (idk if that's a thing but I was just as happy to wake up early as I was staying up late.) Now that morning aspect is beyond gone. I struggle to get up and usually feel sick. Today I called in because I was sure I was going to pass out. I've been up for 2 hours and I'm starting to feel a little better. Anyone else go through this? Do I just have to drag my feet through mornings now? I don't see my doctor or get lab results until the 2nd week of Feb. SW: 366 CW: 329 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  5. If my first post on a forum was met with the same harsh assumptions I probably would have posted the same thing about crazy people SW: 366 CW: 329 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  6. Hello hello hello everybody I'm finishing up my bottle of BA Advanced and was thinking about trying Celebrate with iron. Stuff is pretty important. I'm still in my child bearing years and would like to start donating blood again. I noticed the iron is different in both brands. Is one type better than the other? SW: 366 CW: 329 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  7. I use jock itch powders. Easier to find SW: 366 CW: 329 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  8. It is originally in TLC (in the US anyway.) They also have some on Hulu SW: 366 CW: 329 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  9. It will happen sooner than you think! SW: 366 CW: 329 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  10. Where y'all at? I remember when I joined, there were late (20th and beyond) RNYers but nobody for the rest of December. SW: 366 CW: 329 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  11. This morning I realized I need a new belt lol. I'm on the smallest hole now! I never had a butt but now I don't have a rear and I'm losing the front. I try not to move too fast in my jeans because they have nothing to really hold on to SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  12. Ya know.... I was so depressed after and regretted everything. I had to get Iv fluids multiple times after. It might be too late and I might need a picc line. But you know what? I'm a student and, for the first time in a long time, I fit in a desk. I rode a bike. It's hard but focus on what you'll be able to do instead of what ifs and what you can't do. SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  13. Man am I tired. Before surgery I was somewhat active. I hated sitting around the house. Now I'm exhausted all the time. How did you guys combat this? Ugh SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  14. I tried fruit drinks and I have aversion to them too. I did try some soft food early (supposed to still be in puree) and I'm doing ok there SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  15. Yes I vomited multiple drinks that o could handle before I got that dehydrated. I have problems sampling because I get bad anxiety just thinking about drinking them. SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  16. Anyone try nerd fitness or any other game based programs? I got into a huge fight with my gym so now I'm looking for something both me and my husband would enjoy. I'm a casual gamer and he's more of and actual gamer. SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  17. Yes! I just got through my depressed stage. I was actually suicidal. I actually blame my pickyness on my survival (I'm picky about schools and I want my daughter to enroll in a certain school.) I'm back on Zoloft (couldn't tolerate Ground or liquid version) which probably helps. Therapy is helping me sort things out. SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  18. I did but I was extremely dehydrated. I also have eczema which doesn't help. Make sure you stay on top of your fluids and lotion lotion lotion! SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  19. I'm not vegan but I have run into a lot of vegan products. Vega is one. Soy protein isolate is what my nut suggests but some have pea protein. SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  20. Long story short, I was so dehydrated at one point that I couldn't handle protein drinks or puree. Now I struggle with aversion and the thought of consuming anything but clear liquids gives me major anxiety. Doctor is giving me 2 weeks (well now a week and a half) to start consuming at least 40 grams of protein or I get a picc line. I've tried clear protein but I get the same hard core anxiety. Anyone else been through this? Help! SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  21. Not TMI at all. Mine came late afyer surgery. I was on levonox so it was hellish but hey no cramps SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  22. Ugh! I was told 2 weeks but now I have bad nausea. I like my gym so I'm not up to puking on any machines [emoji23] SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  23. Don't forget to advocate for yourself. If you're not comfortable or in pain, speak up! I remember one nurse asked my pain level (Standard 1 through 10) and I was like F***ING 15! I didn't leave them alone till I got some help. SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  24. No obsticals. Everyone is required to do a psych eval before surgery in my health system. So as long as you're honest with yourself and your doctors then you shouldn't have any problems. SW: 366 CW: 340 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017!
  25. I saw them and considered trying. Sometimes the multi I take is just too sweet Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app
