i've been drinking decaf...my doc said no caffeine for 2 months...

206! So so close! Is it may yet?!!!

overnight stay for me! well worth it for the pain management!

nice!!!!!!

i ate it as a mushy..cooked in much the same way..tilapia and it was fine...can't cook it too long though or it becomes too dry to manage...

i have only been able to attend one since my surgery that is held at my surgical center and i found it to be amazing...most of the people were bypass patients but they were very warming and welcoming. i found that our struggles as wls folks are similar. the group was facilitated by the psychiatrist that completes our evals for pre-approval and he was brilliant. of course, i may be a little biased as a clinical social worker myself, but i think support groups, even peer mentored are very, very useful. who else can support you better than your own...you'll find me here often for the same reason...but there is nothing like real life support..hope this was helpful:)

glad to know you are well...just a small phase to the beginning of the healthier you!

primed with one at surgery...had to wait six weeks for the first fill...

congrats on your approval!

what an active member and great supporter...wishing her family peace.

glad to hear from you. that is great weight loss by the way...it doesn't seem that 60g of protein is too much...im to shoot for 60-80 a day! full liquid meals huh?!

well stated and so true!

happy band day!

see you soon! happy band day!

those are some tough post op guidelines! you can do it though!

i started week two yesterday! isn't it funny how it kicks your butt and you've already been running?
