@GreenTealael Love you, girl! ?Did everyone know that Premier Protein has a recipe site? I didn't! They've just come out with Pumpkin Spice waffles and pancakes for those of you who like those flavors. https://www.premierprotein.com/recipes/I think this one belongs here with all you hotties, rather than in the funnies thread ?I'm so bummed! Went out yesterday hoping to buy boots - even wide calf if I have to - couldn't zip them past the ankle ? Edema sucks! Had to get booties. They're cute, but not what I had my ? set on. I know I could get the Ugg style, but I wanted dressy-looking ones.I can't imagine a more appropriate costume than Momma Incredible! Rock it!I didn't have to because mine wasn't considered a WLS, it was to fix the GERD. If yours gets presented that way, you may not have to do the WLS requirements. I hope it works out for you.My approval from Cigna was less than 10 days after my upper GI, showing severe GERD. I had the surgery within a few weeks after that. I hope yours goes as quickly and that you feel much better.I am so sorry that you're experiencing such difficulties. I hope it all gets better soon. Even with complications (nowhere near as bad as yours), I'd do this again in a heartbeat. 50 years' worth of loss/regain was enough to tell me that I was never going to get to a normal weight on my own.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ it!Love those colorful pants! Definite statement piece!I'm so happy that this is going well for you and baby! When are you due?Yeah, but I got here by way of Connecticut!I say I'm the color of a fluorescent bulb! We may be cousins!That's great! If you can't find one, contact any local service organization and they can probably point you in the right direction ?Yeah, sometimes you just need a smile!Reminder for those cleaning out their closets and plan to donate - Especially in metropolitan areas, there are women's social services that work to get women back in the workforce. They can always use work/interview-appropriate attire in ALL sizes. You can also check with your church.
