Where do you get these supplements? Can you buy them anywhere?

chrome you can get in any health store...sometimes even the pharmacy next to the vitamins...as for the DIM, i am not sure i get it from my chiro who gets it from a naturopath.

They do Cool Sculpting (http://www.coolsculpting.com) around here which looks to be similar. The lady at the spa place thinks highly of it but I know she is biased. I have really not considered any of those body things at this time but I been thinking more about my face. Losing the weight is making a few of my smile lines (I don't have wrinkles!) a bit more prominent.

Eversince i lost the weight, my skin legs of course i loosen...and so we now see that i have HUGE varicose veins. So this week i had taken an appointment to get ride of them. When i got there the dr refuse to perform the injections, he checked my veins with ultrasound or something and saw that i had a vasculary problem starting around the pelvic area...so now he refers me to the hospital for surgery. Just another example of the saying , when the Water level of a river lowers, thats when you can start seeing the rocks.

It should be fine, the problem is just that in the public system this will take a long time before they get to my turn...

What an awful month...its my worse so dar, gain 2lbs, lose 2lbs....bottom line i am up to my old tricks, not moving and munching all the time... Need a chocolate fix everyday..chrome does not work.

So i am a bit freaking out. Either it´s seasonal depression and beach therapy will fix me up, or i need a good pyschologist to fix my eating habits and living habits and learn how to desl better with stress and such.

I am so tires of having to improve all the time in all the fields of my life.

Be a better mom, be a better wife, be healthier, be a better employee, be a better person.....well fuck why is it never good enough for anybody, everytime i improve the Quest for more just continues.

You know if youn put a frog in a pot of Water and then turn on the heat. It will stay in the boiling water and cook there. But if you try to put a frog straignt in boiling water, its never gonna let you.

I dont know what i am talking about, i am just in a pissy mood....vacation starts wenesday...it better be all i hope it will be

I think that's called the slimes? I've never experienced it but others on this board have.

I too need to breakup with Quest bars.... Great source of Protein , but not to have all the time

I had a month where I didn't drop weight... I didn't gain, but in this game not losing feels like gaining because our " honeymoon " period is almost over! I started slipping back into bad habits ... I went back and looked at my pre surgery pics ..129 pounds ago, and that gave me the kick in the ass I really needed again

We all got the way we were because of crap in our heads... We need to continue working on that stuff every day to be successful... It will always be a struggle for me !

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
