I think azlazyrider came back because she loves to stir the pot!

Drinking liquids has always been a snap for me, also. Usually when I feel like I'm not restricted enough, it is because I haven't followed the rules about drinking and eating. If I do not drink...
Sugar free powerade might be a good substitute to avoid sugar but stay hydrated, or vitamin water could work. I hate the taste of those and usually drink Propel, but the first 3 months I was adamant...

I own my own business, and I speak to most of my customers over the phone, so appearance doesn't matter, as far as I know. We all know the world hates fat people, and promotions and hiring have...

The hardest thing was the preop and postop diets, and they weren't much harder than normal dieting, albeit life or death was at stake!
Otherwise, it is so easy for me to lose weight with this...
Fasting blood sugar about 120, A1C 6.6, so not quite cured, but that is also unmedicated, plus I'm less fat. All other numbers normal except slightly low vitamin d, so I will supplement for that.
Even when I feel slightly hungry, it is nothing like the all consuming obsession for food from before. Plus, I just can't eat that much anymore, and when I am full - I don't want anything for hours....

I took blood tests today so I will find out!
Thanks for the replies so far. Are there any heavy users of ibuprofen and methatrexate who have psoriatic arthritis?
Seems like a good idea, doesn't it?
I thought you Canadians had it made with socialized medicine! You have to pay for your own healthcare?

I've googled the web looking for literature on people who have died post operatively from using too many NSAIDS ( ibuprofen such as advil or methatrexate) for pain control and I cannot find any....
Cigar man is right again. That old friend of food is equivalent to a crack dealer giving you free product - you don't need that friend. I find it wonderful to look at delicious food and be full and...
I'm not bashing your choice, I'm pointing out your inconsistencies.
You said that you, "looked her straight in her huge fat face and said um first off you don't know me or my history and secondly...

I can easily eat 7 to 8 ounces if it isn't all meat in about a half hour, although I feel the stop signal at that point, but it really isn't unpleasant, although firm. If it is all meat, 5 to 6...
I don't see the equivalency in pointing out insensitivity and calling someone a fat old hag.
Well, I have to ask you if you thought it was insensitive of you when you told some "fat overly obese HAG" off?

This topic is why I don't recommend any procedure when people ask me about my weight loss. I advise them to listen to what their Doctor recommends. He is responsible for giving you the facts to...

My cardiologist wants me to take a stress test next year. The last time, I couldn't get past about 135 beats per minute, but at 344, I thought and still think that it was a pretty good result....

As far as loose skin goes, I think there are 4 main issues:
1. age
2. hydration
3. speed of weight loss
4. exercise
I think at one year I will have lost about 100 pounds, and hope to be...
I'm hoping they do a study of sleevers stomach size after 5 and 10 years and 15 years to verify this information on a larger scale.

Heck, what are they complaining about? Isn't a BMI of 25 or less considered the proper weight? Ask them if you should concentrate on nutrition, getting protein, proper exercise, vitamins, etc....
It wasn't performed laproscopically back then - that is what has made it so popular these days, and I believe eliminating the open stomach wound has significantly lowered the mortality rate.

I think a bit of perspective is in order. We are all over eaters, emotional eaters, poor choice eaters, etc., or we wouldn't have needed the sleeve. Even when you are not losing weight, and you...
