Cute outfit Sofie..... I Love Mad men.... but yall know how much i crush on Christina Hendricks..... After i finish Little Fires Everywhere..... i'm going to start Ozark.

no Greenleaf is present time.... it's a series about a family that lead a powerful Church.... but it's NOT "religious" if that makes sense.... you have to watch it.... lots of great actors in it.

what are you bingeing watching???? Need new Ideas.... Currently watching, Little Fires Everywhere....... Already seen: The Handmaid's Tale, Tiger King... lol, GOT, The Walking Dead, Outlanders, Unorthodox (don't watch if you can't read subtitles fast), The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Mad Men, Stranger things, Sex Education, Shameless, Schitts Creek, How to get away with murder, American Horror Story, Good Girls, Waco, The Stranger, Self Made, Orange is the new Black, Anna of Green Gables, Siren, The Act (this crazy woman was from my town in Louisiana), Ask Dr. Ruth (pretty good), The Path, Salam, Quickdraw (so freaking funny), Secret Diary of Call Girl..... So many more

loved outlander.... have you watched Greenleaf? how many of yall will admit to watching Tiger King..... i must say i did.... what a train wreck, but couldn't stop watching.

i've heard about it on FB from some friends.... need to finish Little Fires Everywhere first.... then ill start that

Thanks Mark really.... i havnt watched it yet.... guess i will now.

i should have taken the picture earlier.... wrinkles have set in. These pants were gifted to me.... and i love them.

The bigger reason they don't want you to drink is because lots of us have "addictive" personalities.... WLS has a high rate of transferring that addiction of food to something else.... like alcohol. Some its gambling, Sex..... They don't want to replace one with another. Lots of people can't handle drinking anymore. I for one can only drink one glass of wine. I never drink beer, soda, club soda, tonic.... or anything carbonated. So sorry about your Uncle...

two glass isn't going to make that much difference except it may chill you out faster.... and there are not rules that say you can't. You most definitely can. Where i would adjust is the mixers.... stay away from the carbonated drinks..... Beer, coke, soda, tonic, sprite... etc. I stick with wine, margaritas, rum and juice. If you want to be successful..... two things..... eat less and move more. Portion EVERY meal.... and exercise. Cals in = Cals out.... this time my BMI was 32 (5'2" 173.5).... today i weigh 128 bmi 23.4. i drink a glass of wine every day or so....

Hey.... Happy for you that your insurance will cover. Just an FYI: If you want to really make sure, gain 10 and that would put you at a 40BMI and you are a shoo-in. I did and would do it again and again and again. Back in 2009 i was at 223lbs... which put me at a 40 bmi but no co morbidities. So just to be on the safe side i put on 10. Approved in 3 days. Gain 10 to lose 89, yep yep. 5'2" began at 232. I was banded. Weightloss was slow and i hated that... then i realized that losing it slow was really a blessing. I has no problems with my arms, leg, but and even my boobs (44G). My problem was my stomach. I had 2 sections, hysterectomy, gallbladder at the time. Then the LB. My boobs went to a 36H. and so this is where i stayed for years..... at 143#. In 2012 i had a TT with MR and lipo on flanks. Then i lost my band due to a slip in 2017 and in 2.5 years i gained 30lbs. Hit menopause and everything went to crap. No matter what i did. So this past Aug. at 173.5lbs i had the sleeve done. I've lost weight pretty fast. I can see the sagging now in my arms and butt.... and i lost a couple of cups in the boobs.... now a 32FF. I say losing weight slowly worked i better for me the first time...... I am smaller than i was at my lowest with the band.... 143..... Today i weight 128

I lost about two cups....went from a 34H to a 32 FF thanks

I still get to go to work.... today was not supposed to be a jean day.... but i made it one.... hehe

I sent her a message mid march and havn't heard from her. Some one else told me she was fine. @ms.sss

@Dtrain84 You are such an inspiration. Happy anniversary..... Keep up the great work.... You look amazing.

Drinking with your meals is why you don't feel full.... The reason to not drink with a meal is to stay fuller longer. If you drink with your meal you are washing it down. The protein shake and soup will go right through and you will feel hungry again sooner. Try and eat more solid foods.... Breakfast: egg, bacon or Quiche, I eat a breakfast bar. Snack is good, cheese (not so much the crackers). Maybe switch the crackers to ham slices, cucumber slices. Lunch: i eat tuna, chicken or egg salad off the spoon. cheese cubes or chili, baked sweet potato..... I cook a few on Sundays and cut off about 2-4oz. Dinner: you will find that your less fatty foods will be dryer (turkey, pork, white chicken) and harder to digest. If i cook steak it has to be MR... Chicken is the dark meat. Don't eat the breadstick. I stick to the 1/8 cup protein, 1/8 cup veggie, 1/8 cup of other.... i eat in that order. 90% of the time i can't finish my plate. https://ccbariatricandsurgical.com/your-health/video/no-drinking-with-meals

This is just my opinion.... the little amount of Bacon/sausage you will be able to eat, won't make that much of a difference. Yes it's high in fat, but you are only eating maybe one-piece... I would eat the meat before i would eat the potatoes..... lots of dr. put there WLS pt on a high fat, low carb diet... Kinda like Keto. I don't, i stick mostly to portion size. I stick to 1/8 cup of protein, 1/8 cup veggie 1/8 cup of "other". Breakfast is coffee and normally a breakfast bar. I like the Special K Pastry Crisps during the weekdays. On Sat/Sun my husband is normally home and i cook. Me: coffee and a 1/4 piece of Daves Good seed bread toasted well. Or one egg (fried), 1/4 piece of bacon and 1/4 piece of toast...(i never finish this). Lunch is tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad, left overs from the night before... if not to dry. Chili, baked sweet potato... Dinner is fish, steak, chicken.... with a veggie... Green beans, baby peas, baked S/potato,

If you have Alexia... you can tell her to play sounds.... i tell her to turn off in 30 min. I started not sleeping when i started menopause last year. My GYN gave me Ambien.... it works great, but it has side effects for some people. I for one ate in my sleep ..... and i like to put on fashion shows for my husband in lingerie.... hehe He Ambien shops on Amazon. Most of the time its for my benefit... as i have been bought lots of great stuff... hehe The trick is to put things in the cart... and bam .... hehe don't tell him. i was having trouble falling asleep and now when i don't take it.... i have night mares.....very vivid and i can remember every detail..... one night i dreamed about a nuclear attack and dreamed i was telling my husband about my dream while i was still dreaming....

did you get to ask your dr. why you can't eat those? It seems to me that all you use to eat, you should be able to eat. Except for the muffin. I would watch the halos, some times the skin is hard to digest... this is why i get them from the can or cup (no skin). Yogurt is good.... I don't really watch my carbs/sugar in the am and i will burn them off during the day.... this is why i have no worries about eating this yogurt.... I just can't stand the aftertaste in my mouth with the fat free or low fat ones.... https://www.liberteusa.com/products/

i am jelly.... what gulf course you live on?

DX GERD is definitely something that you should get your dr's opinion. I personally think all WLS have the potential to have issues specific to it, but lost have issues with GERD. Its because of what's going on in the stomach.... The stomach is either blocked off (band, which i had for almost 8 years, no GERD) or sleeve, BP and others where they are removing or manipulating the stomach.... and when you overeat, food has to go someplace, and if not down.... UP. And coming UP all the time because one can't control their portions is a problem. I found if you eat the right portions and avoid eating high acid food and late at night, the better you are Most people that had the band, sleeve, GB... etc will promote their SX. I loved the band and still do. She left me 3+ years ago and i miss her everyday. But the sleeve has been great too..... Both have their pros and cons.

completely understandable... we all have our likes and dislikes..... what about grits? You may have to stick with smoothies.... Try the yogurt i suggested.... i hate all the others. This is the only one i like. What did you eat for breakfast before SX??

that's a question for your dr. Does he/she know you have GERD? Were you DX with GERD? Of course, not all patients will get GERD... I never got with band and so far not with Sleeve. Start with your Dr...... here and other site you ask this question you will get a hundred different answers....

Put a note on the fridge..... YOUR NOT HUNGRY... JUST BORED... its hard to find things when eggs are not an option. But i understand.... i'm one of the crazy people that HATES!!!! Tomatoes.... Do you like avocados?

i'm just curious as to why no meats for breakfast? Did he say why? I wasn't told that for either SX... Not the band or the sleeve. I eat bacon in quench. and i eat less than half a piece on the weekends. #1... sleeved 8/28/19... i averaged 2lbs per week. This is a revision for me, SW was 173.5, today im holding at 129 which is where i have been for about a month. I found that sometimes i would go a week or so at the same and then BAM.... loss... 2-3lbs.. #2... i do eat bacon and sausage and i eat ham and cheese roll-up sometimes for lunch. #3.. i wouldn't call it cheating. I call it a blip... Everyone has "blips".... it's all about recognizing them and stopping them. But i can also tell you the people that are just starting out eating chips, ice cream, candy from the beginning are the same that in a few years that will be on here saying....... My WLS didn't work..... I've seen it a thousand times..... I've been here since 2009... Start off correct.... and if your dr. says no bacon... he must have a reason. I don't like cottage cheese either.. yuck... I know you said NO eggs (most everything has eggs) or bananas.... how about oatmeal? I avoid pancakes and waffles... as they are not really good for you. How about peanut butter? How about pears? i eat them a lot. i also eat mandarins from a cup or can... I sometimes eat with ricotta cheese. I eat regular yogurt... not fat free, not low fat as i just don't like them. I love the Liberte' brand.... you have to look hard for them as they are not in every store... we have them in Krogers where i live. They are the best i ever ate....
