Since I can't eat it all at once, I guess I'm getting about 13g of carbs per "meal", but since I don't dump and don't have blood sugar issues, it's really a moot point for me.

7. Bible, then the Lord of the Rings.

He's probably afraid you'll get stretch marks if you put weight back on once everything is tight.

Total carbs 26, 4g sugar, 3g fiber. Not GF. I don't worry about carbs (just sugar), so this is perfect for me.

Twister after WLS?

I just purchased some Pure Protein Bars and noticed that they've gone from 20g protein/bar to 33! The calories increased from approx 200 to 280. The bars were 1.76 oz., now 2.75 oz. For me (not a protein fan) this is great! p.s. I'm eating one for breakfast and can't eat it all in one sitting. But that's ok, I can work on it all morning.

In nature, I am most grateful for water! Besides the whole necessary to sustain life part, I love oceans, waterfalls, ponds, thunderstorms, misty drizzle, you name it!

Mic drop!

Oh, my! And now your browser will be flooded with ads for crotchless lingerie!

Congratulations! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I was thinking they could add a bird body to the long, sweeping tail to make a phoenix to celebrate your rebirth.

I just used a second hospital gown as a robe when in the halls. The snap-shoulders were necessary for the IV for me.

I was there for 2 nights and was very happy to have brought my own pillow!

You look fantastic! I'd never guess that you used to be overweight!

Nope. Both my parents smoked, so the real stuff (Pall Mall unfiltered!) was always available ?

Well, at least you eat vicariously healthy!

I was on omeprazole 2x/day. Maybe your doctor would be ok with that.

Hmmmm, what food am I most grateful for? I've gotta go with fruit, any fruit! Yes, I know fruit has sugars, but it wasn't fruit that got me to 272 pounds!

I never smoked. (Well, ok, a couple of times when I was about 7 . . .)

Day 2: I am most thankful for modern communications of all types! I love to be able to share thoughts/pics immediately with my kids who live 1,000 miles away and my cousins who are 1,500 miles away and to be able to keep up with their lives, as well.
