They are equally funny. The ones I like are Spy, Green Wing, All Saints which comedic and dramatic, Whites, Rake, the delivery guy, and offspring. I am up early due to extremely bad heartburn. Enjoy your day its effects is kicking in finally able to rest.

Are you taking an antiacid @Sweet as peaches? I am taking one every morning as a precaution and so far so good. Good for you on the walking yesterday!! I hope you have a good day today!

I'm on a ppi med too for six weeks. After that we'll see if it's an issue. I had it before the sleeve but it was only triggered by super spicy, acidic, and high fat foods. I suspect that when staying away from these, I should be fine post op too. But I also heard the ppi is good in he beginning to help prevent ulcers in he beginning healing phase. Hope you find relief @Sweet as peaches.

Good morning everyone. I'm focusing on my meals today. Yesterday was a trial and error day. Today, I have a protein drink with two green bombs. Lunch, cubes turkey and ham and almonds. Dinner, sweet potato quinoa chili, that's in he crockpot right now. I'll have to maybe drink a protein water in between to make up for protein as well.

I ordered vitamin patches last night. Hopefully they get here fast because I'm literally feeling nauseous just thinking about those giant chewable tablets ? I'm hoping to pass off the rest (2.5 months worth) to a friend who is having wls in 12 days.

Hope you all have a blessed day. It's FRIDAY!!!! Yay! I'll check in later. ?

So far I have stuck to my plans today. But getting a little hungry. I'll drink water till I know for sure.

Awful news....My mom is in the hospital with a very large blood clot in her lung. ? It's by the grace of a God that she had a cat scan today to see the progress of her chemo treatments that they found it. I'm anticipating that it gets treated and she comes out fine. We shall see.

That is great to hear @patty0715.

I keep reading that the quicker we can get our calories up to 600-800 the better. I have also read that if we start exercising more than walking we need add more calories. So happy the scale is moving for you.
