Acrylic Nails - do I need to remove them?
BostonWLKC replied to SleeveinIL's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn’t have to do anything and they didn’t mention it and I have gel. Call and ask if you’re worried about it. Good luck tomorrow! Be sure to check in after! HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 188 5’6” -
Amazing progress- amazing isn’t it?! Enjoy the mush . Scrambled eggs with laughing cow cheese was yummy for me as were oikos triple zero yogurts HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 188 5’6”

post="4608452" timestamp="1520968788" name="Coppola bus 103" userid="336129"]I'm having mine at BMC . I'll get it done.

10 days post op- 1st mushy food
BostonWLKC replied to Calee213's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Maybe the beans were too ridged - try something more smooth like yogurt or cottage cheese For me, it was the same and each day got easier but I started off with small amounts and increased daily trying to get myself acclimated to solids again HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 190 5’6” -
Biotene mouth wash— your mouth will be very dry all the time! Sweat pants (you won’t be able to put on a shirt due to wires). Bathrobe or long sweater if you don’t want to use a hospital robe Hair elastic, phone charger You’ll sleep a lot day one and hopefully go home early day two!

Yes to the weight loss and the thrill of it all.... but there is something about the simple victories and the internal feeling of success . Being able to cross your legs comfortably is amazing Take the little victories in too.... they are equally as fulfilling HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 190 5’6”

To tell or not to tell
BostonWLKC replied to beccaconaty87's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My husband was / is the only person that knows. When folks comment about my weight loss I tell them what I’m doing— exercise, smaller portions of lean proteins every 3/4 hours... essentially a complete and committed new way of eating. Which is not lying I think it’s a personal choice and I don’t need the judgement or gossip to complicate my journey HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 175 CW 190 5’6”
