I’m sorry I missed this Matt! Congrats!!

Maybe it’s a SoCal thing, but I take any opportunity I have to wear a hat. Went hiking when it was in the 40’s required a cashmere beanie ?. There was ice on the ground people! I didn’t want to freeze to death! ??

Being hyper-obsessive isn't exactly a healthy mindset, and not something most people would want to be. At 3 months out a few bites of brownie is so terrible, why? Does it really matter in the big picture? Will it make more than an ounce, if that, difference in their weight loss? The issue would be if it was large quantities and/or frequently.

I think it is very unrealistic to think that you will go forever without a normal cookie or brownie. There is food that is better for you, and food that is worse for you, and it's about balance between the two. But at some point you are going to craving and eat a "bad" food, and it will be all right. It won't be a failure, or lead to being overweight again, unless it becomes excessive. It's not a lack of control, it's being human. You know, even naturally skinny people eat cookies and brownies and chips, and so much more from time to time. Now I don't believe in doing something to shock the system or break the stall. I believe stalls start and stop completely independently of what you do. I've stalled when I've eaten perfectly, and lost when I ate poorly, and vice versa.

Put a hat on at least!!

So many 1 star reviews on Amazon

There is nothing you can't have "forever", it will just need to be in smaller quantities and rarer occasions.

I'd try taking it with every meal, take at least 3 pills. It may not work for you, but worth giving it a shot

Yeah, that's not the case. BP sells Genepro due to consumer demand, not because it is a reputable, quality product

Mine too

#24 - ThrowbackThursday This was one of my first posts here, just one day post op ... feels like forever ago!

I also had no pre op diet, my surgeon also doesn't believe they are necessary. I can see no negative effects of not having had a pre op diet. I have lost 100% of my excess weight. I'm successfully in maintenance, so far. My liver was perfect and pink, so I was told. I had no physical hunger for weeks post op. I was able to have food funerals, which I believe help me be more focused on healthy eating post WLS.

Ohhh ... so bad! Miss @Orchids&Dragons aka the rule follower, must be so disappointed in you!

Most people mean well, so I just laugh it off. I generally say something like "I wish!" or "Not there yet!". I turn it into something light instead of getting my dander up.

Actually the boreens were easy! Those were generally pretty lightly traveled. They weren't as wind-y, so you could see someone coming from the opposite direction, since speeds were slow there was plenty of time to find a spot to pull over slightly so you could squeeze by each other. Where my hives started was traveling along the southern coast, say from Waterford to Kenmare. We were on busy 2 lane roads that each lane was just barely wide enough for a small car, and with the hedge covered stone walls and ditches on the side. Makes me itchy just thinking about it Oh, and I plan to eat EVERYTHING in Egypt!

I'm a big fan of Beano

I'm generally unflappable. In all my travels there has only been two times I've been seriously frazzled. Once in Vietnam when we were stranded on the wrong side of town from our hotel at night due to flooding, and then the power went out in the entire town. The other time was as a car passenger in Ireland. Adventure TB was the driver, and she thought it was going swimmingly, while I was so tense I was getting a core workout while sitting in the passenger seat. Why are there stone walls on the sides of the road? Why are they disguised by friendly looking bushes? Why are the lanes just barely wide enough for a car, when tractors, which are wider, drive on them? Why are there so many twist that every single corner is blind and there is no safe place to pass said tractor? And then there are the sheep, and the bicyclist, and old people walking, all in the road, inevitably around a blind corner. I actually broke out in hives from the stress . It took us a few days to figure out what I was allergic to. I'd be fine in the morning, then broken out by evening. Apparently I was allergic to Irish driving! I'm actually going to Egypt this trip.

Stalls are the norm and they happen to nearly everyone. So although you do need to be getting protein in, it is more than likely unrelated to your stall.

I have no problem with bubbles in any form.

And they like you

Now the hummus ... we can agree on

You need a travel buddy! I've never been with anyone who likes to travel like I do. Some of my ex's I would have murdered if we had been on a long trip together, or at least stranded them in a foreign country. Now when I date someone and they're like "Oh, I want to do some traveling, we can do it together" I'm like "Sorry my dance card is full until I get more vacation time AND you prove that you won't annoy the f out of me!"

If this is what you play on Pandora no wonder it got your demographic wrong!

#22 - Music That Gets Me Moving Does taking out the trash and emptying the dishwasher count? In that case, I've been all about Spotify's "I Love my 90's Hip Hop".
