    Confusion

    That is because people are seldom interested when things go good, now if you turn sky blue, one leg falls off or the chair collapses and you break a hip falling down the hospital's front steps, that is newsworthy.

    Kids and food

    I just think a trip in and out,of refrigeration is a study,in silliness. That chicken is equally nutritious, if you buy it hot and if you buy it cold. Same bird after all. Rather,like beverages in Ohio, if you consume,them on the restaurants premises you pay taxes, even on a outside patio . If you buy it, say it's "To Go" you don't have to pay. Many times I've seen people buy something then sit on the street curb and drink it. Technically it's on the city's right of way. Years ago when we vacationed in Florida, hubby,wanted to go into a racetrack, left me and the children in the car. Didn't know it is illegal for minors to be there in that state. Had to leave the,parking lot and go across to a private lot across the street and pay to sit there while hubby finished what he was doing. My good friend who lives,along the Ohio,River said,they had to do their fooling around in Ohio, because if they went to Kentucky or West Virginia he could be charged with taking her "across state lines for immoral purposes." I said " Oh yeah, like the FBI,is going to bother to haul you in?"

    Kids and food

    Once the rotisserie chickens at Wal-Martha's been refrigerated they set them back out and you can get them on an EBT card or Snap. Don't quite seem right.

    If you could close one fast food chain

    I remember people used to not eat microwaved good because they thought it was full of radiation. Did they all die off? I asked because Subway zaps everything warm in one.

    July Sleeve

    At this point you have got to trust that it will be okay. Don't tie yourself up in "nots", I should not have done that. I should of have done this. Why didn't I? All it will do is upset you and make you tense. You are going to be just fine. Relax, little one, Relax.
  7. You should get oodles of answers. Since your traffic patterns are reputed to be the worst in the US a lot of people stayed in Massachusetts. One, Cappola Bus, just spoke to me a while ago.

    Non Scale Victories

    3 Future NSV I am hoping for:#1 sitting on a plastic chair and not have it make embarrassing sucky noises, also to have chairs with arms nor bite into my thighs. #2 Relatives letting me sit on their,good furniture instead of getting a sturdy wooden one from. the kitchen or their porch.#3 sitting and swinging on a porch swing. Last time I tried relative kept looking at the pitch ceiling to see if I bent the hooks out or snapped the chain. Many things have a 200 or 250 lb weight limit. And when I achieve these things I will shout,it from the highest roof, right after I post on Bariatric Pal!πŸš©πŸ˜›πŸš©

    ER trip to rule out blood clot

    If you could close one fast food chain

    Not one any longer in my town but Ryan's Steakhouse/Buffet. Family almost always got diarrhea and I have vomited more than once and it wasn't from over-filling my stomach although it was an All You Can Eat buffet, what's the use of that when All You Eat comes back up?😫
  15. Everybody needs help sometime, if they don't supply it you may have to seek a bariatric consult somewhere else. Each of us is too precious a life to squander- if you NEED it Go Get IT!πŸŒˆπŸ˜›

    August bypassers/sleevers

    No more than I am for my bouncing baby RnY pouch, I have been incubating hope since August 2015, a Mama Elephant,could have delivered 2 babies in that time! But my journey will end this month July and not a moment too soon!πŸ‘πŸ˜›

    Good rules If you can't stand the pain and thing,it is worth the trip. If you have tried easy home remedies and they aren't working. If you are bleeding and it's bright red blood, if it isn't your time of month or you are bleeding from a body opening that usually blood does come out of, if you can't reach your doctor and you thinkit can't wait another day, if you're not urinating, if you are vomitting and you think you are going to pass out, if you can't drink and your skin "tents", that means if you take a pinch of your skin and it doesn't flatten out. Those are some actions that deserve attention, better to to go and find out it's nothing or easily managed than to imperil your life staying home. Most things get better by the morning, but some of these won't. Hugs!πŸ˜›

    Greek yogurt

    I would try to he Torani flavorings, add the peanut butter stuff they talk about on here, I think it's called PB2 or even stirring a little Crystal Light,powder in. Add it Roto something b else already on your diet, one girl says she even mixed it with salsa, don't know if I would go that far, but taste buds are. different. I used to stir,peanut butter into strawberry ice cream before I started on this reformulation of my body. Oh and also peanut butter and lettuce sandwiches.πŸ˜›πŸŒˆ
  19. I am also 5ft8in , started out at 355 last October, now down to 321. Slow loss I guess but I have the Basal Metabolism Rate of a slug on antidepressants, that's what happens when you are 72 and postmenopausal. But anyhoo I'm still going forth. Tuesday 7/17/2018 I meet with Dr Needleman for my presurgical appointment and hope to get an assigned surgical date also then.I am praying for a before the end of July one. That said even after that happens I'm still hanging around, Bariatric Pal has been very good to me and if I can pay it forward and help newbies to,the process nothing would please me more. Scared? Heck no, I drowned my fears in my tears long ago. Now I yearn to complete my journey, if I have to crawl down the broken glass causeway of a liquid pre-diet I will do that also. My RnY surgery means that much in my life, and I will not falter towards that GOAL. So if you would like to be friends I would be honored. Any questions, I can answer for you I would be happy to do. And,if by chance I don't have the answer someone else on Bariatric Pal will.πŸ’₯πŸ˜›πŸ’₯

    July Gastric Bypass?

    I'm a weird little puppy, I am actually looking forward to the liquid pre-diet. Yes I know it is like a living purgatory but at the end I will get my surgery, that is my GOAL, I'll crawl across the broken glass causeway if it gets me to my RnY and a chance for a successful future life!πŸ‘‰πŸ˜›πŸ‘ˆ

    Salad

    I am going to miss salads in a way dispropotionate to sweets, I no longer crave sweets but I am going to miss my spring mix/baby spinach salads.πŸ’¦πŸ˜«
  25. knowing how many insurance companies( and yes they are definitely seeking good profits not to do good for others) rationlize things, bariatric shakes are a vanity,item, not normal for healthy nutritional pursuit. Not saying,I agree but then these are the same people who told me pregnancy was an avoidable disease and why should they have to extend maternity coverage? Yep happened to me personally.😫
