Boyfriend filed bankruptcy, any chance of surgery?
RebecaSparkles replied to Jenny12's topic in Insurance & Financing
I don't know of any surgeons who do loans directly w/o care credit. Have you tried a small credit union? They are known to loan for medical expenses. If not, then saving, second & third jobs & Mexico are probably your best bet. However, theres a chance that obamacare may make his insurance offer coverage so you may just want to wait it out. allons-y -

RebecaSparkles replied to Aries's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My dad had them. Upping his Fiber & Water intake was what the dr requested he do for 2 weeks b4 they agreed to remove the hemroids. Sits baths helped as did the prep H and looser underpants. allons-y -

So apparently I'm a hypocrite for getting weight loss surgery
RebecaSparkles replied to thehappycat's topic in The Gals' Room
Sounds like shes either super envious or some other version of wrong in the head. I know it sucks losing friends. Luckily, I lost all mine years ago when I got so obese I wasn't fun anymore. My current friends aren't superficial that way & we talked it out. Shes outraged I today weigh the same as her but were working through it. Sorry u have to put up with that. Hang in there whose really on your team will be evident soon. If shes not on your team then so long farewell. allons-y -

Cream of potato soup?
RebecaSparkles replied to Kelsnikol's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got chicken tortilla soup also from my fav resturant. They make it pureed & then put chicken chunks & tortillas on top so I passed on those. I then thin it out w/ the swanson chicken tortilla broth & strain it. I know my paperwork says low fat- fat free soups but i only put away 1/4 to 1/2c so its like 200cal or so. F it I'm going for flavor. My day is less than 15g fat & about 400 cal on average. allons-y -
Cream of potato soup?
RebecaSparkles replied to Kelsnikol's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I blended up the soup then passed through strainer. I got outback potatoe soup no cheese no bacon. It was glorious. 4 oz is like 179cal. I ended up doing 1/2 soup 1/2 milk. allons-y -
Want a hug without " space for jesus"
RebecaSparkles posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey guys, How long til you were able to tolerate a proper hug? Any pressure on the belly is painful for me so hubby has to leave space for jesus & can't really hug or hold me like I want. Y'all know us post ops are so damn emotional & my dogs are too heavy to snuggle too. May have to send out for a build a bear. allons-y -
Want a hug without " space for jesus"
RebecaSparkles replied to RebecaSparkles's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes- I love torchwood & have been watching the new Torchwood revival on demand! My prius is called my Cardis bc it makes wooshy sounds under 15 mph& is tardis blue. My office desk is from a yard sale-we sanded it & painted it tardis blue. I'm angry season 7 isnt on netflix, but it made me cry a bit so probably good it isnt so I dont get dehydrated. allons-y
