Mini Me Wanna~Be

I'm trying to figure out all these different abbreviations, NUT is that nutritionist? IMO for days ive been trying to figure some of them out and as I start to type I can't think of anything.....duh

that's awesome so happy for you. Can't wait til I'm in your shoes and getting that phone call. since I'm just starting out it seems like it's gunna be a lifetime away. keep us posted on your journey :}

Ok thanks If it's one of those test tube gel one's i have read on here that the protein it does have in it isn't the good protein we need and if that's the case your torturing yourself for nothing......lol :tongue2:

@arcusx can I ask what insurance you have and was the $606 just for that one test?

@firebelle10 still don't know what one your talking about. I'm curious so I don't waste my money on it. Thanks in advance

@jessica9190 thank you for responding :} @snow, we are on a site that 90% of the talk is on food so I wasn't sure but I didn't want to assume anything and get my info backwards. I'm just starting out here so I'm making sure I'm on the same page as everyone else.

Lord I ask in your name for sleevendown's Doctor's to have steady hands and all the knowledge they need to make her surgery easy with no complications. Lord I ask that sleevendown has a pain free and speedy recovery so I and others can learn from her what I need to know that will help her, me and others thru our WL journey. Thank you Lord, in Jesus name AMEN Sleevendown, Please keep us posted on your wonderful new start :}

OK now im curious, which protein drink are you guys talking about?

OMG fatnomo that was awesome, I so needed that today been having a hard time lately. I will have to copy and past so i can go back when I need a laugh and read it again :}

I am in the beginning of my journey and haven't yet met with the surgeon for my consultant but was told today that having this surgery isn't going to be good for me because I'm diabetic and diabetic's "CAN'T" eat this much Protein because it is too hard on my liver and kidney's. I asked this person if they were in the medical profession and they said no, but that was what the Dr's told her sister when she wanted to get the surgery and she never had the surgery :{ (I'm not sure if she was going to get the bypass or the sleeve) and the funny thing to me is I live in a small town that doesn't have all the stores you all talk about on here and went to the grocery store and just happened to walk down the Natural foods isle (which is brand new in our store) and I found the PB2 that I've been seeing mentioned on here a lot, so I was reading the label and she walked up and just started talking to me. For the diabetic's out there, have any of you been told to be careful of too much protein or introducing the protein into your diet slowly? Until now I have never paid any attention to how much Protein I'm eating. I only have watch the sugar, carbs & sodium. Any advise or words of wisdom would be awesome. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and respond :}

That's awesome, you take it easy heal well and keep believing your healed :}

Maybe I wont be able to either, but I am sooooooooooo glad I have all the peeps here. Cus everyone understand and can relate, no judging or negative & belittling comments. I wish you the best of luck and maybe after surgery and im feeling down I will look ya up for a boost :}

Maybe that has something to do with you being a lil depressed. I know change is very hard for me, I haven't been sleeved yet and that's why I spend so much time on here reading what everyone has to say. Maybe I can alter my thinking before my surgery.

What a beautiful lady you are, you look A~W~E~S~O~M~E. I was just saying to my hubby last night that I haven't been under 200lbs since middle school, I don't know how to even imagine how I will look losing 50, 75, 100lbs. It's a little scarey. Thank you for sharing your photos, it gives me alot of hope that it can work for me too. I am just starting on my journey, my Dr. consult isn't until December 3rd :{

Added to my prayers also Kali. With all the prayers out there for you, Now you have to BELIEVE IT to be and receive his healing and you will be healed. Please keep us posted on your progress to recovery :}

Awesome, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for sharing with us :}

My husband is lactose intolerant so we usually have Soy or Almond milk in the house. I tried making SF Butterscotch pudding the other night with Vanilla Almond Milk and it was runny and tasted gross. What kind of milk do you all use to make pudding, mashed tators, Protein shakes, etc. ???? any words of wisdom or help you can give me would be great. Thanks in advance :}

I was told soon after I found out I was Diabetic that my pancreas no longer worked and would be in Insulin forever :{ But the Drs told me all sorts of stuff that didn't end up being true, so I am really hoping that this is bad info too. I would LOVE to not have to stick my self with needles several times a day.

I haven't been sleeved yet but my husband had the Gastric bypass 10 years ago and he cannot take capsules, he says they feel like they get stuck or sit in his stomach forever. Ive been thinking for myself I need to get some info from everyone here and find chewable ones. I didn't know they made sugar free, I am a diabetic so I will defiantly check into that.

I'm not sure what HEBs is, but we have nothing. I live in a small town we have a Smith's, Safeway & Walmart. for any health food type stores we have to go to Las Vegas. @Fallenangel2904 do u the unflavored for cooking and the vanilla for your shakes? @enigmachik I was thinking that but then my hubby will have to stay away from it. Thanks all for your info :}

Had a customer tell me her daughter bought a Yogurt Maker after her surgery and loves it. She has never sampled the finished product, but says her daughter loves it and uses it all the time. Has anyone here bought one? If so what are your thoughts on making your own yogurt??

That's awesome it's ok to be a little nervous, if you weren't then i'd be worried.....lol keep us posted to how your doing. and if you have any words of wisdom for us from your experience's. Take care

If I may, how did you make them? i'm getting a list together and trying new things. Plus ive never been a big Jello eater so i'm making myself learn to love it....lol Thanks in advance for your help :}

H~E~L~P Ok I'm so darn confused. I have not started seeing a nutritionist yet, they may answer this. But I'm wanting to know which is better, what is the difference between the 2. I have been told that Soy is good for women but that's all I have heard. If you all would be so kind to explain the difference. Thank you in advance for all your help :}
