jessica bowling

Wow.. Thats so soon.

I had a total meltdown on my fourth day post-op. Its the hardest day and after it well its done.. It was up hill from there.

I wore weights. Little ones in my girdle..went to bathroom before my exam.. Put them in my purse. My doctor knew i was low bmi and knew i was gaining in purpose. My major thing that put weight on was pop and bread..by the last visit i didnt need the weights:/

Apple here.. I have a funny story. I had this thing on my side. This thing was sticking out. I went and showed my husband and he shaked his head.. I went and showed my best friend.. And she was giggling and said jessica thats a hip.. I have never had hips!! So needless to say my shape is becoming more like a pear!! I was so amazed.. And everytime i say something now my friend and husband say.. These hips dont lie!! Great feeling!!

This is crazy!! I saw this crap and i thought how childish..girl be who you are if they dont like it tough!! There is plenty of people on here not just four.. You will make friends that except you for you...

I tried to wait.. I only wanted one surgery needless to say gallbladder out march 18 and sleeved on April 28. It was best because I was in so much pain and could not have waited to April 29.

I listen to that at the gym!! Love it!!

I do Atkins protein bars.. A strawberry one. My doctor has never said anything about them not being ok. And they aren't alot of $$. I also drink an Atkins for breakfast. They help me hit my goal each day.

I am also guilty of this. I was never part of the clean plate club but now I just can't leave it. It must be mental.

So cute! Congrats!!

I found vita muffin brownies and the are smaller than regular tops. Half calories and have carbs. My doctor hasn't ever told me to watch carbs but I try to have one of those a day now.

What are some of the things you have found that you love and help you get thru your day? Example: I love Da Vinci syrups.. I get them at Walmart. I get chocolate and put it in my almond milk. This syrup adds no calories,fat, or carbs. So I can have my chocolate milk for 60 calories a cup:)

Ok. Cool!

My doctor did a low carb diet before surgery to shrink liver which is great for people with sugar and liver issues. It was totally Atkins. I would not been able to make it on shakes 2 weeks before my surgery.

I can go all day and not eat. So I have to set a timer to tell me to eat.

I have RA and Fibromyalgia and I have been feeling wonderful. I don't take meds for it but cymbalta. I even questioned if I truly have it because since surgery I have not had a flair up at all. I was sleeved on 4-29.

I have had a piece of candy.. The reason I had surgery was because of liver disease so as soon as I eat a carb or sugar my liver flairs..also drinking increases sugar cravings.. Which can make you weaker when you craving

I saw that people were getting them on other site and didn't know why. Thank you now I know. I think it's a good idea in case something happens. I will plan on getting one. I saw some really pretty ones. Thanks again.

I would make it work. Start now with your son making him do alot more to help you. Him climb unto your lap. Maybe let him not sleep in his baby bed that week maybe he can sleep with you or. Maybe it's time for a toddler bed. I know my children were very independent 1 year olds and you have weeks to work at it. Your mom can still help you. I mean a week out I went back to work and work with special needs children and adults and I was fine. I just didn't lift them.

I do all Atkins products for shakes. Was doing muscle milk but sugar was to high. I don't have issues with sugar so I was fine with Special K shakes or muscle milk but truth Atkins taste good to me. I also got the bars..

I didn't have to have puréed. But I'm glad your enjoying your food. I didn't have can chicken for a few weeks after cream soup.. Wish I would have puréed it so I could have gotten more protein sooner:/

Ky here to:)
