Egg drop soup with the eggs strained out was one on my HUGE staples...it felt like real food!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6

No sneezing, I get a runny nose....very very weird. My mom gets a single hiccup. I'd take 1 hiccup over a snotty nose any day. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6

MFPs potassium goal is a minimum recommended allowance. Unlike calories and fat that we're trying to stay below. Unless you've got chronic kidney disease, are on certain meds (ACE inhibitors and ARBs in particular) or just because your doc says so, it's pretty much the more the merrier with potassium.

My next goal is to lose 1 damn pound so I can be under 200. I'm about to start cutting off toes.

When I came back 2 years ago, I had several thousand dollars in charges to sams clubs and walmarts all over Mexico!!!! Be VERY careful with your credit card. I used it in a can, think that's where I got swiped. Most places take dollars or pesos, you'll probably get a better rate paying pesos, I think they mark up the American price a bit.

See you are rocking it!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6

It's funny, I tend to just slightly over estimate calories (the inner fat girl assuming the worst and trying to convince herself to eat less) but I can't guess Protein serving sizes or amounts worth a damn! Oh I bet that's 20 grams of protein!!! 8??? It's 8 grams of protein?!?!? Crap. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6

Jeenie-o turkey patty with fresh guac and Swiss cheese, the kiddo is LOVING the turkey patty. Love that my good habits are helping make my son healthier too. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6

I swear if I didn't log I'd probably average 30-40 grams of Protein a day. I'm a decent guess with calories and Fluid but I ALWAYS over estimate my protein intake. Damn MFP keeps me honest with myself :/ HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6

Just trying to offer a possible explanation. Best of luck to ya. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6

Oh my goodness! That's just bad bad bad!

Amazon

The policy at my office is that if the patient requests records there's a fee (if you're there and ask me for a copy of your last record or two it's not an issue, if you want years worth we actually have a company that comes in once a month and prints and mails them, hence the invoice from another company). If another provider asks for records there is no fee. With any luck they'll send a copy to your surgeon and all will be fine. By law I THINK your provider has 30 days to get you the records when requested with a possible 30 day extension if needed.

How scary! Fingers crossed it's an easy fix. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6

You won't know when you're full for a while....measure measure measure! Do NOT trust your stomach or brain to give you a full signal at this point. Also, be careful, you've had a lot done in that tummy, give her time to heal. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6

Unsolicited medical advice (remember, you get what you pay for) yes, pitting edema is when you push and the indentation stays. Fairly common in legs (gravity is evil) not so common above the waist. It definitely needs further investigation ASAP. If you're noticing significant SOB or chest pain I'd recommend ER. HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6

Laying on my side on the couch watching a movie, my 9 year old snuggles up with his head on my hip and says 'Ahhhhh, you're so snugly and comfy....except for that big hard bone poking out of your hip right here. Where did this come from? It didn't used to be here!' HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6
