No game

Sorry No bubble bath either??? I guess I'll just go back to my corner and (s)wallow

Hey butter did you see a (edit because I'm naughty) movie??

In six months you will be able to eat a lot more than that. Savory your food and savory your restriction...

I was reading a study this morning.. 55% of nurses are overweight or obese.. my profession ??? I am of the oldest profession (Not that! get your minds out of the gutter ) I am a mom and a wife. The woman on the block that all the other women send there kids to after school if they are stuck at work.. So much for ... "If a man will not work, he shall not eat" (2 Thess 3:10)

And a diet coke to go along

No it's a six inch sub!

Or a slim Jim....

Full price Oreos (no sale even) I could of bought 9 packages! Hehe yes I just looked up Oreos? Did you guys know they make sugar free Oreos now??? Go figure

That's the thing! This stuff is crazy overpriced. That box of cookies cost a mint?? You don't even want to know how many packages of Oreos I could of bought with that money..

That's very nice of you deedadumble I will say I've done this before with one of our members a couple of months ago and it's not a cheap thing to do......

Haha! You know what she said!?? "Ok, whatever, they aren't even that good" 0_o Now she's dissing my only joy? I have successfully convinced myself these things are better than Nestle toll house chocolate chip cookies!!! She comes down in the middle of the night FINDS (because they were in my secret cupboard) my Cookies. Eats them LEAVES A MESS. Then has the nerve to talk crap about them! Oh, but then she tells me that my dill pickle Protein Krinkles where good though?? what the????

Yep sounds like acid... Ppi= proton pump inhibitor, read this it will tell you about the meds, I would call your doc and tell him your symptoms he may give you a prescription or tell you to buy over the counter strength.. http://heartburn.about.com/od/protonpumpinhibitors/Proton_Pump_Inhibitors_For_Treating_Heartburn_Acid_Reflux.htm

Are you taking a ppi??? Acid reflux mimics hunger.

I woke up this morning came down stairs to find protein cookies wrappers in the living room!!! Well there is only one person that stays up later than me in this house..It's a 17 year old girl child that I'm patiently waiting for to come down the stairs so I can pounce!!

Hmmm... I was going to post a study about nurses, shift work and obesity rates. But it looks like you guys have moved on to making fun of people you perceive as being not as intelligent as you?

Lol! Good! Well hopefully you will be one of those that are up and running right after surgery. I think being in a new exciting place makes people want to get up and out sooner. Me? I was a bed slug afterwards

Statistically sleeve patients lose 60 to 65 percent of their excess weight and keep it off for a period of time... The difference is, do you want to be a statistic or not? I'm choosing to fight past the 60% and get to a healthy goal that I want. The sleeve can help you lose the weight but its like everything in life, you get out of it what you put into it..

Hey wanna, How are you? I hope your feeling better now that you are in your room.... Are you scheduled for tomorrow?

And make sure your not still taking your pain meds

158 I definitely went through a stall but I feel like things are moving again. My digestion has been great the last week..... I've changed three things so I'm not sure what's helping but feeling pretty "normal" in the digestive tract which is helpful.

Oh and here's a good read http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/78443-the-pre-op-diet-is-not-a-punishment-its-an-opportunity/

I'm not sure what kind of encouragement you need?? is it to get back on track? Did you blow a pre op diet? If so, I would ask why you had a cheeseburger? I doubt that you were literally "starving" so lets just say you were hungry? Or perhaps you craving a hamburger? If you were hungry is there something other than a hamburger you could of eaten? Or had you eaten all of your "food" for the day? This pre op "diet" and post op "diet" are different than all of the other diets you have done. So cheating really shouldn't be an option. You are trying to get your body (liver) ready for surgery. And post op the long torturous liquid diet is to let your stomach heal.. So my encouragement is... Its time to get your head in the game because you will need it there for now on if you want to be successful in this..
