A significant number of patients experience either persistent type 2 diabetes after surgery or, after a few months or years in remission, experience relapse in the years following their surgery.

I also take BariMelts and Vitamin B12, calcium citrate with Vitamin D

I think you will figure it out, I'm sure you will feel it if you think you've lost enough weight

number one is a food scale

I felt it was a major threat before I was vaccinated. After vaccination, I somehow felt relieved and not that worried anymore. I know that I could still get the virus but I'm sure that I won't be hospitalized or something.

Soooo .... it has been a minute!

I've been following along with everyone through the BP emails. So happy to see so many looking so happy and fabulous! It brings me joy to see so many of us continue to thrive.

As for me, it's cliché, but I have been living my best life.

Wow, you look amazing!

I'm so sorry to hear this, it's really frustrating.

I make what I call taco salad for lunches.
1/3 cup ground chicken cooked in taco seasoning ( cook a pound and refrigerate- then measure 1/3 cup for each meal) I like it cold
1/4 cup pico de Galla (Aldi’s)
1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp of Lite Catalina dressing
1/2 bag of Quest taco flavor Protein chips ( small individual bag).
I sometimes add up to 1/2 cup bagged salad but I prefer it without the salad.

this sounds really good, and I also love taco salad

Looks really yummy!

Google baratric chicken crust pizza. The crust is chicken. Its high protien and delicious. Hint thinner the chicken crust the better. I also flip it and brown both sides.

Tylenol is acceptable. Unfortunately, it just doesn't do the trick all the time. A heating pad seems to be the biggest relief so far. Thank you for the tip!

same with me, I have a heating pad ready whenever I have my period.

Caffeine is the hardest habit to break

I agree with you, I had a hard time cutting it off

An unfortunate side effect of rapid weight loss such as is usually experienced after weight loss surgery is the formation of gallstones. Some sources say that gallstone formation can be found in as many as 35% of weight loss surgery patients.

Medjool dates filled with coconut butter and coated with dark chocolate.

That's so good, would love to have some now

It protects you and the people around you.

You look great! Congrats on your progress

It's normal to be anxious before the surgery, some bariatric patients may feel even more anxious because the results do not become apparent on the day of surgery

Positivity rate in my community is about 20% now. My husband and I tested positive just about two weeks ago now. He is recovered. I am taking steroids for my asthma, but definitely feeling better. I am so grateful I was no longer diabetic and morbidly obese when I got sick. With my asthma, it could have been very ugly. I am pretty sure all of our local hospitals have cancelled elective surgeries, as they are FULL. Our largest local hospital converted a floor of a parking garage into an overflow area last spring, and they reopened it last week.

Stay safe!

I am sorry to hear that you tested positive. I hope you recover real soon. You can try herbs to help improve your respiratory health.

Protein Shakes and Protein bars are my best friends that time

It’s affecting all of us one way or another right? I was staying pretty strong until recently. Now I’m noticing that I tear up easily during rom-coms or touching commercials. Human interaction is so important and we are all isolated and yearning for life to go back to “normal”. There is no question that a low grade depression is manifesting, and I for one, am not interested in participating in that

My surgery was cancelled last week and if it isn’t rescheduled in December, this is the end of the journey for me. I can’t afford another max out of pocket in the new insurance year. I started to get really down and then I turned on the news. I realized quickly that I have nothing to be upset about! I have a roof over my head and have luckily held onto my job. I’m not in the hospital fighting for my life or wishing I had more time with a friend or family member who is sick. So this made me realize how much time I spend living in the future and how much time I waste not living in the present!

My new goal is to change my thinking behavior and not take any single moment for granted! How about a thread of positivity in the middle of a pandemic that is draining each one of us of happiness?

What is happening in your life right now that is AWESOME? Let’s share some light and lift each other up!!!!

That's really great, you go girl!

for me, in spite of this covid situation we are all in, I am happy that I get to spend more time with my family and I am also thankful that I still have a job.

How COOL that you were neighbors and didn't even know it! What a small world, right!? Okay, then. I am flying over to borrow this beautiful blouse. As you know, I love eyelet and black! You'd be right...time for size 4 slacks. These are my size 4 faded jeans for lunch today with a good friend. Finally cooler to wear denim for our Florida winters. Yay!

Wow, you look amazing!

Had leftover roast beef and made pepper steak today for quickie meals over our work weekend... A few project submittal deadlines before Thanksgiving! I did manage to get the Christmas tree and a few festive decorations up earlier this week. Fun!

That looks great! I bet it tastes great too

Are you eating foods that trigger reflux? Also, try elevating your head when you are lying down

You should work alongside your doctor to choose the best weight loss procedure for you.
