Wild - I was given an Easiyo Yogurt maker for Christmas. It's really easy and so far I like the flavors on offer. So far the benefits I've found is 1) They don't contain added sugar. 2) They don't contain Gelitine and emulsifiers. I think there are other makers on the market but that might be the way to go.

I have the Mirena but not had the surgery yet. I did have some fluctuations with my weight when I first got it but not as drastically like with the pill. My Mirena will have to come out in 2012 and I'm debating whether or not to replace it.... I probably will.

You might want to check with your internet service provider. During peak times ISP's slow down access (in other words they do not give priority) to news groups. This website is considered a news group that could be part of the problem.

I got an Easiyo Yogurt maker for christmas from the one friend of mine that knows I'm doing this. She gave me the Greek Yogurt bases to go with it and I made one of them and I have to say they are really nice. Does anyone else here have one of these ? and do you use it alot after having this surgery ?

I don't know what it's like in the US but during the psychiatric evaluation they will try and find out if you've been coerced into having this surgery or are being pressured in anyway to do it against your will. They will flag that up and it could delay things until they are convinced this is actually what you want for yourself. Maybe some of the stateside folks can comment on that. I live in the UK and I've been asked by my GP and was told to be prepared to answer any questions about my decision to have this surgery and if I was being pressured due to abuse etc.. Best of luck - remember it's your body and yours and only your decision on what to do with it.

Hi CB. I'm not sure, I never registered for the diet and paid the membership. They might have a refund policy on the site. Else failing contact the lawyers listed on the documents and they might be able to advise you.

There are good coconut waters and bad. I drink Vita Coco which is ok'd by the nutritionist I'm seeing for dieting. It has no added sugar, no fat and no cholesteral. Iit's 100% natural coconut Water and I've been told it will be fine to have after I have the surgery. It's very hydrating. Now other coconut waters can have fruit pulp added and extra sugar added - these are not good. Make sure to check the label.

I don't want to start sling fest or anything... but have you heard about KimKim ? She's a fraud. People have become ill from following her diet and a 2billion dollar class action suite has just been awarded to the people that paid membership for and followed her diet. Here is some info: http://kimkinsscam.wordpress.com/ Some pictures here of KimKim and the founder of Lighterlife: http://www.slamboard.com/category/kimkins-diet/ I've done the lighterlife diet and it was absolute hell and my health suffered in the process. My hair fell out. I had nausea, vomiting and at night when I would try and sleep I would lay there shivering. I cannot stress how irresponsible these types of diets are. Please anyone doing any KimKims or Lighterlife please make sure you know what you're getting into. You should NEVER do low fat/Low carb with High Protein or vlc diets unless by doctors orders and then at the levels they prescribe. Otherwise it's dangerous to your health. KimKims diet is exactly this but she is No doctor. Not ranting at anyone I've just been scammed like this and don't want anyone going to Kimkims site and thinking it's a good idea. x

I really don't know if that would be allowed truth be told, but you could minimize the damage by maybe having wholewheat pasta or Dreamfields pasta (Atkins friendly) and have it with a low fat sauce.

You could cook a bunch of crap he likes and pre-freeze in portion size meals in tupperware. Do the same for yourself with your meal of choice. Then you both get what you want and you don't have to cook two meals every night - just reheat.

Hi Lovelyone, Welcome. I'm not sure if this is normal - I'm not sleeved yet. However, you've come to the right place. What is it that you are feeling angry and frustrated about ? I'm sure others here have felt these things as well and will give you some insight. Hope otherwise, you're healthy and happy P

There are other people here who have posted about having a couple drinks on a night out after the surgery - proof there that eventually it is possible, although not right away. So don't to worry too much about that. Congrats on your new sleeve.

I got a response back: "I really do not hate fat people, and really do have compassion for people who struggle with their weight and their body image--I've done both most of my life--even if I also think obesity is a serious problem that people respond to in ways that seem strange to me. I'm really sorry my post has been so blown out of proportion, and I feel really really so bad that I've hurt the feelings of so many people. Believe it or not, I never intended to that." Apparently she is still in denial about the consequences of her comments. I guess she doesn't understand still. I like how she refers to overweight people as fat people. How classy. What a bitch...
