I am anxious to hear the outcome. Didn't the doctor have any advice for her?

I've heard that's good! Everyone, Please share your favorites!

Has anyone rented any good movies lately? The weekend is coming and I need some opinions so I have more to choose from. I think I will check into Steph's suggestion of Revolutionary Road if nobody suggests anything else. I usually watch movies with a friend, and our movie tastes are different, so sometimes it's hard for me to pick one we both will like. She is the friend I have mentioned before, who had a heart attack at age 48 so she has been stuck in the house a lot lately.

I rarely tell anyone. I exercise daily for a couple hours at the gym so I don't feel guilty when people ask me how I keep my weight down.

I am opening up the chat window early again tonight. There are some shows on tv I want to watch later. I will leave the window open and listen for the door bell.

My gym has tvs in front of all the cardio equipment. There are other gyms that would cost me less, but I have to have those tvs. Sometimes I plan my gym time according to what I want to watch on tv.

Not sure if Judy was having surgery today or if she arrived in Mexicali today. Which ever it is, she is in great hands. I look forward to hear how you're feeling Ky. Hen, Judy!

I take Protonix. It comes in generic so it's pretty cheap, with my ins. It prevents acid from forming.

I am so happy for you Tiffy!

Congrats, and hopefully we will not be too much work!

I will never eat coconut that's for sure. I ate some pumpkin seeds the other day and thank God, I didn't have a problem. Makes me scared to eat them again, and I sure love them.

Welcome! I am thrilled to have the band gone and have the sleeve. I hope you are able to get the sleeve surgery too. Living with it is so much better than living with the band.

Welcome! you will love the sleeve and love it here with our sleeved family!

Tiffy I am thrilled for you. Give us an update when you come up for air, lol!

That is a fantastic weight loss Cajun. I have to sleep on my back according to my ortho doctor, so I got used to that years ago.

I hope some of Dr. Aceves' patients will read their surgery report. I was told he uses a 32. I was surprised when someone told me to read mine and it said 36

There are also some books that MacMadame has recommended focusing on emotional eating

I am opening the chat window earlier tonight. Anyone want to talk?

I totally understand. My bf broke up with me after telling me just a week before, that he had never been happier in his life and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. Then my dog died a couple of weeks ago,who was definitely my baby. We do learn other coping methods. Unfortunately, grazing is still possible with the sleeve. It's totally possible for me to eat nuts, chips, and candy. I have to decide for myself that I don't want to gain any weight back and head to the gym when I feel stressed out. We all understand and are here for you.

I just read my surgery report and it says he used a 36 but oversews it to a 32

I have never tried unjury. I like the PVL whey Gourmet Peanut Butter chocolate that I get from Netrition.com

Chat window is open in case anyone is in the mood to chat tonight!

Yes, I forgot to make that more clear. That is only the first few days that you can only drink 2 oz every twenty minutes. You progress from there.

I take protonix. They are very tiny pills. I have taken them since 3 days after surgery with no problems. They come in generic so my doc prescribes them for me to take twice per day. I only take one per day, but that way I get 60 pills for $10. My ins. will pay $10 for any generic prescription.

Yes, my instructor is very good at that. I love that class. It's just difficult for me to not add more weight when I really want to . If I do, my back and neck just kill me the next day. I usually do an hour of cardio after the class is over. It really gets me in the mood to want to exercise!
