Are any of these still available?

I messaged her when she first posted this but she never answered me

I went to a concert on Friday...and had lots of room in my seat

apply for FMLA. it is private. HR will know but your SUP only needs to know how long you will be out.

So we are very similar in that I never saw myself as being as big as I was. my heaviest was 364 and I am 5' 10in tall. (used to be six foot but I am shrinking lol) So now I see my body changing and an totally enthralled with the changes. and what it can do. twisty yoga bendy poses, jump rope. run.

I guess everybody is different but I am 2lbs away form 100lb loss and I feel sexy, sassy and FREE

gosh i don't remember. baked chicken I think

WOOT way to go. the more you move the more energy you will have.

yep the 3-4 weeks stall. the 3-4 month stall which I just got out of lol hang in there

I have been on a low does of omeprazole for over 30 years. no issues

try some sugar free additions like koolaid/crush or lemon and a dash of stevia.

The issue with 600-800 calories is that my stomach has stretched so much and I would literally feel like I’m starving. I have been eating waaaay to many carbs and drinking with meals etc. doing everything I’m not supposed to do. I don’t know how I could do that right now. I know what I’m supposed to do but I’m having such a hard time doing it. I know it sounds like I’m making excuses but I’m seriously at a low right now. I was looking so good and I feel like I’ve blown it all.

FILL that space with Water water water. you can do this!

Thank you!!! I can’t decide so I’m going to see how I feel this summer in a bathing suit and if I’m not happy I’ll start getting some prices and researching who does the best work in my area!

love that high waisted suit! you look great!

I really like the lentil or chick pea based Pasta. I only eat a small amount and have it with chicken or chicken sausage for Protein. It takes care of my Pasta cravings and makes me feel not deprived.

I have not tried this. can you recommend one to try?

Ordered this book yesterday and it came today, I’m so excited to read and spark some new food ideas.

That Gastric Sleeve- Bariatric Cookbook
By: Sarah Kent

FYI you can get this free on your KINDLE!

wow let us know what you find!

to me it feels like a panic attack. I have had it three times.

BUST IT! Just like the preop where they 'suggested' I lose 5lbs...I lost 11.

if you are close to goal it gets harder. mostly they don't want to stress you out.

I wasn't on blood thinners either before or after surgery, but I bruise like a hot-house orchid now! lol. I was carrying groceries up the hill to my apartment and my arm looks like I was assaulted by a very large army of polly-pocket sized people. I have bruises the size of golf-balls on my shins from walking into stuff. I'm not very graceful, and it's showing!!

yeah I am grace personified lol I also have great danes so I never know if it is me or them LOL

Cottage cheese

tuna (I like to get the flavored packets)

Broccoli tots

Chili

Those have been some of my personal favorites which I was able to add back into my diet.

Congrats on reaching this point! It's so exciting!

Brocolli tots are the bomb. I did the light progresso cream Soups if I did not have time to make my own. they can all be blended if too chunky at first

I ordered some magic rice/pasta from Amazon. it is pretty gross lol it is the Shirataki stuff too

I switched to the capsules as soon as I could. those chewables are nasty. good luck

All steps must be completed before they can submit for approval. Good luck!

No blood thinners pre or post op so that is not it. I guess it could be the less padding lol

That is strange! Most surgeons require patients take blood thinners right after surgery to prevent blood clots from forming. I had to take Lovenox (enoxaparin) for about a week after surgery. It stays in your body a long time and my whole body was covered in bruises for several months after surgery.

I got a heparin shot before surgery and one post op. that is it.
