I have been so thankful for all of the support that I have received here since my surgery in June. I have had such wonderful advice and positive attitudes through this journey. I am still so very...

Had a dr. appt yesterday....and am now 199 ! YEAH....happy dance :)
Curveballs have been coming but I think I am learning to dodge out of the way of the direct impact OR just suck it up and take...

Hello fellow sleevers ! This is my first post sleeve holiday season and I am actually quite pleased with how the Thanksgiving "feast" worked out at my home. I made a modified dinner with some...

I am in my 21st year as an educator. I have taught Art (from a cart, which was a baptism by fire first year experience) Grades 1 - 6 at one time or another, a GATE/High Capable teacher, and adjunct...

I agree with Anissa... I did try the Muscle Milk Light also...not as much protein, and a little sweeter....but after 4 cases of Premier I needed a trade. Going back to Premier on my next Costco run.

I share in this freezing experience, glad to know I am not alone and neither are you :)

Not that my 2 cents matter in any way, but, this thread has been an 'entertainment' to me today.

A high school friend of mine committed suicide last night.... this drama (aka soap opera) with...

I am about 5 months out and have the same feeling. I forget until I get nauseated or shaky....and so often food just doesn't 'set' right. I think this is something that becomes better with time...

WLS was June 12 and to date I have lost over 90 lbs. I am so very happy with the results.
I am 5 lbs away from being in the "overweight" BMI category, which is very rewarding.

Since surgery my...

So sorry to hear about your dad's fall and hope that he will have a smooth recovery. You're probably going to be doing a lot of flying back and forth between LV and Bflo. Lot's of extreme weather...

True...all people are different and your experience may be different than mine. I started at a very full 52DD and now am a 42 C (with gappies and space, but too big for a B cup) ....I also...

Just a quick question about skin moisturizers. Can anyone recommend something that is fragrance free/ hypoallergenic? I have been having the expected loose skin and now flakey, dry skin. In the past...

Sorry you had to endure the revenge of the sugar monster! I tried 1/2 a oreo cookie last week and got the slime monster...wish I could have thrown up. It's all a learning thing...

So, I have had an umbilica hernia for well past a decade now. It has been 'ugly' to look at,but really, who was I showing my belly button to anyway....um....NO ONE.

BUT, as I have been having...

I havent been able to tolerate bread, but it isn't a blood sugar issue....it gets stuck,.....still....I tried 1/4 piece of toast with my breakfast scrambled egg the other day, mostly because I was so...

Sammy, thank you for sharing your situation. I think that is one of the best things you can do for yourself is be PRESENT.....and own what is happening for you. I know I am guilty of wearing rose...

I completely relate to what you are going through. You are early enough out that some of these emotions could actually be partly post surgical depression. I know I struggled with that on and off for...

I completely agree that having your husband attend a seminar to learn about all procedures available is an excellent thought! Also you can YouTube lapband complications and there are way too many...

I remember being instructed to focus on hydration and protein but hydration was the 1st priority. I used protein isolate and snuck it into my liquids as much as I could in those first few days. Also...

Yeah for apples! I live in the Central Basin of WA not too far from the orchards. Right now there are several varieties coming out. I cannot handle much more than a very small apple and I can not...
