Some sf Gatorade may help with salt cravings! Your electrolytes my be low. So when you get dehydrated its like when you have a houseplant that is really dy. if you pour Water on it the water just goes through it. You have to sit the plant in a sink of water for a few hours and wait for the soil to absorb the water. It's the same when we are dehydrated, even if we do not know we are dehydrated we do not have the proper levels of electrolytes to keep us going. I ended up in the hospital from severe dehydration once that led to kidney failure. It was terrible! I was drinking plenty of water but I drank it too late. My body needed something else and I was clueless. I may be WAY OFF BASE but I wanted to share my experience with you anyway!

You wont have to ask if it happens to you, you'll now! It feels like you swallowed a big lit fire cracker/ flare and it burns all the way down but then gets stuck! All self inflicted as you have ascertained! If it does happen walk around doing the funky chicken and resist the temptation to drink.

Non-eventful! Don't sweat it!

unjury is actually really good. I also found About Time online which has 24g and a little less expensive. I love the chocolate mint flavor. I'd also get samples to see because if you don't like it well, there it will sit!

My understanding with bread is that is has moisture in it so when you eat it it becomes a ball of glue. That is why we'll toasted bread works because the moisture has been removed. SOOOOO, stuffing shouldn't be a problem right? I did a test run of TG by making my turkey dinner last Sunday. Had only about 2 tbs of stuffing but did not have a problem. Then again, like you, I am new to my journey and don't have a lot of restriction yet!

Use more than one scoop!

Can she not liquefy things like mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes? Or pie? None of us are experts even the ones who been here for a while so I would say call your team in the morning. they'll be able to give you the best advise!

I eat grilled fish and veggies mostly. Processed foods with sodium have never worked we'll for me. I also make the quiche with egg and spinach in muffin tins as a go to. I freeze them in advance and pull them out when I am not prepared for mealtime or too tired to cook!

Awe! I know it's hard. Hang in there though k?

Bow-cheekie-bow-mowww! That's what I'm talking about!

Good advise msbritt! Can you imagine the call to the oncall dr...um yes, um, I got up to go potty and my bandaid fell off. Just teasing! Anyway, after you've had a nice sleep call your dr. especially since they will be closed Thursday. Better safe than sorry, and it ill put your mind at ease!

Since you said your Italian, guappo is not bad it's like saying, this dude! I lived in Italy for 13 years. Don't get too upset on here, I know it's in your blood but its all in good spirit!

You say 2005 in some threads and 2006 in others. I decided instead of answering your question to go see "who is this guappo?" Take it all in stride, you open this can after all!

Hurray!

I have a question for you dear...when were you banded 2005 or 2006?

Check out ghrelinBGone on YouTube. Scroll down her vids until you see the be about her arms. She has awesome arms, all considered!

I didn't have steri strips or clear bandages or anything other than the glue! You'll do just fine.

I'll add my two cents in too. How long were you overweight? Two months? Point is: be patient. All other replies touched on the calorie counting so I think you are in good hands there. Just remember that not only did you lose weight you also did not gain in two months so you are doing extra good! Don't over think anything except how great you are and how powerful you are. Use your whole support system, that is what they are there for ( dr, nut, friends, us) Big hug!

Ahh, you would be in survival mode huh? Or as my kids call it bear mode... Storing up for harder times? (Wink)
