    losethemess got a reaction from Happy2bhealthy in 33 and single forever??   
    There are tons of dating websites make sure you always update your picture and profile info at least update weekly. I love yahoos dating website. I love church eventhough I haven't been in months. I agree its not the greatest place to meet men its a great place for you, forget trying to find a man. One thing that Im 100% sure of is that God loves you. Take comfort in that. Try the gym, grocery store. Try changing your look, try volunteering. I met my husband on a dating website. I made contact with him first. Boy I'm happy I did. Why is life so difficult well I'm not sure about that. I do know it's so hard being single when you desire to be with someone. I'll pray for you. Give thanks in all circumstances because its Gods will. You will find someone I'm sure of. Let me assure you that you arrived not single because you are overweight or because of some other issues. I have two good friends one 31 and he other 47 who are skinny and single. So it's not that. I wish I could give you a big huge. Keep looking he's out there. DON'T GIVE UP.

    losethemess got a reaction from Marcjacobs in Acid-Reflux From Lap Band??   
    A little about me. I've been banded for almost 2 years. I've lost 115 lbs. I'm at goal I haven't had a fill in about a year and have acid reflux for about a year. It started after I got pregnant. I miscarried at 20 weeks and the acid reflux continued. I had an upper GI and nothing. I actually wanted another fill and my dr ordered the upper GI? She thought something was wrong and nothing. Anyway please please please try OMPRAZOLE. I've seen it at Walmart and Sam's Club for a while and never thought to try it. I've been using it for the past two days and WOW. What a difference. I used to wake up in the middle of the night choking on vomit or acid. I suffered from it throughout the day, particularly when I was hungry. The worst was at night when I lay down. I tried to sleep on several pillows to keep my head elevated and nothing. I tried to stop eating at least an hour before i slept and nothing. I troed Tums, that provided temporary reluef. This OMPRAZOLE is the ONLY thing that has worked. I know I'm not too tight and I know there is nothing wrong with my band. I refuse to get an unfill. I'm crazy and refuse to mess up a good thing. I'm comfortable with my restriction and wouldn't change a thing except for this darn acid reflux. I'm and going to post a pic of this medicine and keep you posted about my success or unsuccess with it. So far so good. You use it for 14 days straight. You take it if you suffer from heartburn/acid reflux at least twice a week. I feel like screaming I'm so relieved. Good luck and God Bless you.

    I'm on my 4th year with successful LapBand, but about a year ago I started having major acid-reflux. It has gotten so bad I'm going to have to get some serious help. My husband thinks its from the Lapband because of my wierd eating habits. Does anyone else have these problems.

    losethemess got a reaction from doctordiva in Protein   
    Unjury is a very popular protein powder for Bariatric patients. It comes in many flavors as well as unflavored. I actually ordered some unflavored Unjury but never opened it. If you'd like I'll send it to you. I'm way past the liquid phase. I'm at goal. I lost 110lbs. I had my surgery in August 2010. I went through the samething. I couldn't find one I liked at first. After a lot of searching I found some that were tolerable. My favorite protein shakes in order where Chocolate Muscle Milk, Amway Chocolate (had to order from Amway representative) Nectar and Easy Advantage. Isopure premixed was my least favorite. The Isopure powder was tolerable. My suggestion DON'T GIVE UP. Shop around until you find one that is tolerable. Buy samples, single serve, or small contaibers until you decide you've found one that's tolerable. Notice I said "tolerable." Yoh don't have to love it, just tolerate them for a short time until you get to the next phase.
