As far as position I have had no issues, I am a side sleeper and have slept on my side since the day I had my surgery. I have found that I no longer need as much sleep, I am so used to needing about...

I just added some of the unflavored to potato soup for dinner and I cannot taste it. I am VERY visual, mental, 5 year old eater! If I know something I don't like is in a dish I automatically do not...

I slept the same as always and had no issues. I would say no that it is a totally unnecessary expense.

Merry Christmas @Reading Mom

I just got my order yesterday and my mother in law drank of cup of it and said it was amazing! She gave it 5 starts, I plan to use it as a base for chicken veggie soup( small pot) just to "beef" it...

I had a 10 day liquid diet. Clear liquids only, no shakes, no veg nothing, broth and water basically. I did cheat a few times with a few bites of grilled chicken. I think you will be okay as long as...

Amazing! Congratulations to you!

I was told no swimming, hot tubs, or soaking for 6 weeks after mine. However my incisions came open after the stitches were removed and therefor took longer to heal, It was about 3 months before I...

I take the same size bites and chew the same and drink the same amount as I did before surgery. I obviously eat way less and make smarter choices. I am able to drink water just the same as before...

Ditto, Almanza was great and I had no complications at all. My mom dad and sister have all had the sleeve also and also used Almanza with no complications.

My husband has not had the surgery but has lost 120 lbs recently and his is no longer "hiding" so it does seem much bigger, between his 120 lbs and my 78 lbs things are better than ever not that they...

We all love the self inflicted pain that this torture brings though lol

I only pay attention to the first thing in the morning weight but some days I weight 3-4 times. I find it interesting what drinking extra water or bathroom issues can do to/for our weight. I am...

I have had spaghetti and it went down easy and stayed easy because I was very cautious. I too have had a candy or to here and there. As long as you are good 99% of the time have a candy every now and...

I have come to notice a pattern with my journey. For a week I will see the scale move about 1-3 lbs a week, then it will stop moving for a week and I will wake up one day about 1/2 to 1 size smaller,...

Ive been told once a week or month. I am an everyday weigher. I am okay with my number going up and down and staying the same though. Stalls do not bother me because I know that eventually it will...

Insurance does not always pay. I was a self pay in Mexico after 5 years of fighting my insurance to get them to pay for it.

Congratulations! Keep up the hard work!

I took mine in the morning so that it could take effect and be cleaned out before the next morning.

I remember with my first 30lbs my major gain was being able to sit in a booth. You all know what I mean, not having to scan the restaurant looking for a table in the corner and hoping and praying...

My dad who had the sleeve back in May in TJ,Mexico was told not to take it, well he took it and ended up in the hospital because it messed up his stomach pretty bad and he started coughing and...

I agree have the plastic surgery AFTER the kids, Pregnancy seems to go one of two ways, either great and no body changes or normal and you get stretch marks and the loose skin etc. Do all the damage...

So is anyone else using the WII Fit? We had one years ago but then ended up getting rid of it because we were not using it. Well the kids got a wii for an early christmas gift and we got the Fit to...
