  1. Yep that should be him, last I knew he was still active on here, grew up near where I live, been through his childhood haunts often.
  2. They should shut up, it is none of their business, but people fighting cancer also lose weight, fat bullying they think okay, so dies mean cancer bullying is also okay? I THINK NOT!
  3. That's the dirty trick classic in resturants, but it is true in our case, but it has been pulled so much by able-tummied people you just may not be believed.
  4. How about@ Bryce, he works at Disney and recently had his surgery.
  5. If nystatin does work on it, that means it's fungal at least somewhat but I can also see⬇carbs could affect it too!
  6. Are you doing any,Miralax,or Colace? And you,might also to,have to resort to,Milk of Magnesia,frequently.
  7. OMG I am so very sorry. Surely as time goes by you will get better, but you do have it rough now. Do you have a heating pad?
  8. A lot of us were raised to believe All Food equates Love. If you fail to feed me, it means you don't Really Love Me! Now Bariatrics and Weight Loss Surgery shook things to their very core. We live in a Brave New World where the rules have changed and it is difficult to come to terms with THAT.
  9. So does it have that nasty evaporated milk taste to it? Many RTD do, you know.?
  10. Pureed meat tends to be gritty, didn't care much for it without fat-free gravy or other "meat lube"
  11. So what DID cause it? Could it have been a reaction to the anesthesia, temporary hormone unbalance as you started to lose weigh Now you ladies have aroused my curiosity, does anyone have a theory? Trying to remember if I had it also ? ??
  12. It's under HEALTH ALERT;CDC WARNING- Tijuana, please read it!
  13. Please read Alex Brechers post, I think your Dr Almanza? is in trouble, The CDC is warning against him. After you read it and you still want to go, I shall pray? that you will be lucky
  14. Does this mean at 73 I can do anything I want or is it they think my body is "shot" anyway?
  15. Welcome Twinsm44, you're one of us now and we are THRILLED to have you!
  16. And I have all the pain and sorrow I didn't have immediately post-surgery now with my swollen irritated Precious Pouch and my jejunem with ulcerations, I hope all the people who I bragged to about NO Post-surgery pain are laughing about Karma giving me a good old bite. I guess Bomshells song is right KARMA IS A FEMALE ? DOG!
  17. And we have "grandfathered" you into the over 300 pound ladies thread, next steps twoferville and then the hoped for Onederland. That's where I still dream of, working my way there but it still will be a while for ME! But Uber-Congratulations to my new friend!???
  18. Or another answer, if you are like me, when I get anxious I tend to chew my lower? lip, had habit, know enough now to not do it consciously but sometimes do it in my sleep.?
  19. Could be right after Christmas but my personal bet, either January 4th or January 7th 2019. But I would be HAPPY to be proved Wrong!???
  20. Endoscopic Sleeve Gastro, instead of being done laprascopically the way most WLS are done these days it is done with an endoscope, so it is done from the inside, there is a whole forum on Bariatric Pal, think two places they do it prominately are North Carolina, St Louis Missouri and I think maybe Colorado. But my friend LynnV had it done in the Cincinnati Ohio area. I think they reduce the size and surface area for food absorption with internal stitching, Lynn had a very quick recovery and is doing well. Often done for people around BMI 35 that maybe don't have enough co- morbs for traditional or just prefer the convenience of not having incisions in the skin to heal. Wouldn't have worked for me, I was pretty well mandated into a RnY bypass by my conditions.
  21. Maybe you will be like my buddy Mousecat(??) and as long as it is bypassing your intestinal system it will be okay.
  22. Even if you don't have your fingers small enough, please(for me) wear it on a chain or ribbon around your neck, Andrea will understand that you want Mama there close to your ❤ of hearts.You are making me tear up, wish I could be there to give you a hug today and on your Wedding Day. You are a sweetie and I know you will be a success, Buck up Baby Girl!
  23. I lost 15 pounds on my liver shrink and at 73(same day as your surgery) I have the natural metabolism of a seasick sea slug, so 10 should be in the okay range, many things may be the same, but we are all individuals, that's what makes life varied and interesting. YOU end up making your own kind of music?, if you remain true to YOU the song is never wrong! Have a Happy Life!❤?❤
  24. It should work , people who work in coroner's offices use it all the time, even your batty-style adversions can't be as bad as WHAT they encounter!

    Sure it was beautiful, that's why it was named after Mythology's Most Lovely Goddess.
