Pre-op classes under way
LipstickLady replied to fatgirlsvelte's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I am totally on your side. YOU CAN DO THIS!!! -
You can! And you did!! How's the wedgie? Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Much better. I had a wedgie in a Panera in front of an old mens' club. I didn't want to alarm them. I do like a spanking, though. Yes, I do.

Can I do another??? SUCCESS!!!

"I'm sure you don't realize how personal that question is." Big smile and nothing else said. -

Fun day Friday! Tell me what you love most about yourself.

Well, @Cervidae made me rethink my response because hers was so good and thoughtful! :-) I'll think of something!

Beating yourself up nutritionally speaking

Drinking liquids AFTER a protein shake
LipstickLady replied to LisaMergs's topic in Food and Nutrition
I was told to wait. Not only is it good practice, but you want that protein' to stay in your system as long as possible. I'm no doctor, though!! -
Which blender should I get?
LipstickLady replied to AuntJoJo64's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got a bullet and returned it because it was hard to clean. (Not THAT kind, the blender kind. I love my THAT kind.) Bought a Ninja thinking it would do more. Returned it because I didn't use it for anything my blender couldn't do. Bought a food' processor. Returned it. Too many pieces. I used my regular old blender a few times, and my immersion blender much more often because it was easier to clean. I needed a blender for all of three weeks and I didn't need another appliance on my counter. Don't over buy. You won't need half the crap you think you do. -
Beating yourself up nutritionally speaking
LipstickLady replied to LisaMergs's topic in Food and Nutrition
I think you did fine! I don't worry about fat, I worry about carbs. My out on the run breakfasts? Bacon egg and chees'e biscuit at Chick Filet. Ask them to make it in a bowl and they will leave off the biscuit. McD's sausage cheese' $1 McMuffin. Take off the top (or the bottom, whichever is bigger). Sonic's Junior bacon, egg' and cheese' burrito, insides only. Wawa's breakfast' bowls are customizable. Ham and cheese' slices at any market's deli counter. Make your own roll ups in the car. (I do this at lunch', too. I add a few pepper or onion strips from the salad' bar for variety. Costs pennies.) Beef Jerky' and a cheese' stick from a convenience store. (Most of them around these parts carry good quality protein' bars' and shakes' nowadays, too!) -
Right then... 24 hours past the chopsaw...
LipstickLady replied to TheRev's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Good for you. On my "goal board", I asked the nurse to write WALKING TOOTS. My only goals while I was in the hospital were to get in my 10k steps and get the gas out. It worked. And yes, they all laughed at me. -
My new nightly snack is 1/4 small apple, 3-4 cuts of cheddar, and a Dove dark promise. Perfection on a (little) plate.

@TWW200 You DON'T have CHEESE?? What kind of monster are you??

Weight regain 42%?
LipstickLady replied to judy vsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If WLS only "lasts" 9-12 months, surely it wouldn't be approved by ANY insurance company says logic... It's a tool, if used correctly, that can serve you a lifetime. You gotta do your part.- 10 replies

Coffee... It's My One True Love
LipstickLady replied to TheRev's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's my go to store for lattes and beans when I'm out of my home roasted. They are phenomenal and only about 5 minutes from my house. If you're downtown look for Alchemy on Broad near vcu - broad and goshen maybe? Easily the best preparation and mug in Richmond. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Yup! -

Dealing with carbs in post-op diet
LipstickLady replied to blizair09's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I really liked the Carb Advantage shakes' found at Sam's and Walmart as far as protein'. Dark chocolat'e was the least sweet, IMO. http://abbottnutrition.com/brands/products/advantedge-carb-control-ready-to-drink- 1 reply

Sushi after surgery?
LipstickLady replied to Amandadoesntwant's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am stuck at 2-3 oz of firm protein'. I can do four or five if it is light like crab legs, but tuna, chicken, beef? Nope. -

Pre/Post Surgical Plans Are Not Required
LipstickLady replied to 4MRB4PHOTO's topic in Rants & Raves
Great point! Perhaps if people were more compliant with their post surgical plans and most likely, more successful, the insurance companies would be more willing to pay for WLS as a rule instead of as an exception. My BFF's husband works for a medical supply company. He goes to hospitals and sells/trains buyers on equipment like airbeds, lift scales, maximum duty wheelchairs -- all made for the super morbidly obese. His medical insurance won't cover WLS because the cost doesn't justify the results. Seriously, WTF!?!? -
Happy Birthday @Dub ! I've never fancied a man who wears boots before and I hate heavy metal, but with the grill in the background and a spatula in your hands, you are the hottest redneck on the interwebz in my book. <3 XXXOOO Come and collect 'em!!

Ya'll are mighty sweet. Thank you. Currently at the ER with one of my employees. He was involved in an accident at work.......scary times, but he's going to be okay it seems. Grateful. Texting another of my employees who's at yet another hospital trauma center after t-boning a tractor trailer on the way to work. Praying for him. Neck injuries.......
What a night.
