Pulled pork is so yummy! Try it! Also - I can tolerate chopped salad - really diced up salad with chicken and i feel like I'm finally eating true salad!

I actually got thrush after surgery from all of the antibiotics. I had to use oral nystatin. Good luck!

Good luck with your surgery! I'm sure it will run smoothly and you'll experience a whole new phase of life. :)

I was sleeved approx 8 months ago, and two days ago I had a complete hysterectomy. (At 36 years old - lucky me - early menopause.) One benefit, so far it's been less painful than the sleeve...

Tell her to stick with it. I nursed twins when I had some huge II's (yes, as in DOUBLE EYES! It was crazy.) Give her support if she needs it - it was so hard for me at first, but I was so glad I...

I'm down approx 80 lbs and I've gone from a 44HH to a 42GG so far. However, I've been large chested my entire life, even when I was much thinner I was always in the DDD range. Any shrinkage is...

I'm just under 6'0. My highest was 330 a year ago. I've lost 30 before surgery and 50 lbs since the surgery, so now I'm 249. My goal is under 200, but I'm not sure how realistic that is for me,...

I eat 5 times a day usually and am around 1100 cals. I did cheat and have lots of alcohol when we went to a football came, and I felt like crap so it was karma! I've been adding extra protein to my...

Caramel apple dip - - - embarrassingly easy.

1 stick cream cheese (pick your poison - ff/lowfat/reg....i usually go reg since I can't eat much of it and my growing boys can use the calories!)...

Someone's great idea saved me! (Not sure who posted it...) First mixed syntax nectar with cold water before adding it to hot coffee and NO CURDLES!!!! Hooray! There's an extra 10g of protein with...

Agreed!!! HYDRATE!!! Hope it gets better soon!

I'm struggling with this right now as well. I'm with you, trying to figure it all out. It hit me when I stocked the pantry with snacks for my kids' lunches. It also started more for me when I was...

5 days post-op I ended up in the ER with the first migraine of my life (and hopefully the last). I honestly was afraid I had a blood clot in my head - I'd never felt so much pain. They told me i...

I love mine! We bought it years ago and it was a lifesaver this summer for my sleeve.

I have a hard time finding the right temp so it doesn't get clumpy/curdled.

Mine were from the belly shots, too.

I'm so happy for you! I was pretty emotional when I passed that milestone. Just think, next time you go to a doctor with the old style scale with the weights, you never have to tell them again to...

You being brave enough to go through this may be a little scary for her - and intimidating. Just do what's best for you, and then she'll come around.

You keep taking care of yourself! :)

I experienced my first ever migraine a few days after my surgery. Ended up in the ER - it was a nightmare. Luckily, I haven't had one since. I think I was really dehydrated & hormonal. Good luck...

Last summer I was 330
Day of surgery 7/9 I was 293 (lost 37 pre surgery)
Today I am 266 (lost 27 since surgery)

I'm stuck right now. Hopefully it'll start moving again soon.

I have flat feet and had to wear orthodics in my shoes for all of my sports through high school & college. Then I gained a ton of weight. The flat feet finally messed up my posterior tibial tendon...

I hope mine do! I've got massive size 13 feet. And lately, the majority of shoes at Nordstrom Rack (I love the rack for shoes!) are these strappy, super high, spiky, platform shoes. I'm already...

Chicago area for me. (Although I grew up as a Cheesehead in WI!)

And - I also had Dr. Rantis!

Definitely have your doctors talk! I was in the hospitalized a few days after I had my sleeve with a migraine, had an allergic reaction to one of the meds or the dye from the MRI and my face puffed...

I put eggs, cottage cheese & salsa (all blended up) and cooked in the oven in popover pan for 13 minutes at 400. SO YUMMY. I put some extra cheese on top. Protein gooey goodness. I also still...
