So cute! Being the oldster that I am, I once actually had and wore a poodle skirt. -

Those look quite a bit different than the 5 lb.DBs I use. -

Congrats! I hope to join you there one day. -
I don't know what you mean exactly by detox. I make all of my own soups using natural ingredients such as Soup bones, freshly chopped veggies, herbs grown in my yard, soaked and then boiled Beans, barley, and so on. I just make different soups out of what I have with no set recipes. I will sometimes use a recipe for something like french onion or cream of carrot, but otherwise I just add a ton of fresh veggies to whatever base I want, add herbs and spices, then eat. I will have to admit that I have never had a smoothie.

Damn, that sucks! I just got back from mine and good grief, what a yawn fest. 370 questions, true or false. I wanted to write in at the bottom: is this the most annoying test you have ever seen? TRUE!?!?!?! At one point I was in the testing room alone and took a picture of the test booklet so I could show my husband. I only spent maybe 15 min. with the psychologist and she was very nice.

Good luck and take all your pain meds! -
Ketosis is most likely the cause.

Have you tried the Isopure clear liquid protein drinks? I think that is what I am going to use because the thought of those protein powder shakes grosses me out.

I'm doing too much and nobody cares!

I know how you feel. I had back surgery in Jan. 2010 and was not allowed to lift, bend, carry, or do much of anything for weeks. Neither son nor husband got it. I had to do laundry, feed cats, and a ton of other stuff that required bending and lifting. Hubby and son were clueless. It made me so mad. -
I am not sleeved yet, but I am hoping I can still eat Sweet Bacon Chicken Bites when I'm all healed up.
-
I just followed your Paleo/Bariatric section on Pinterest. Some very good looking recipes there!
-
Good luck! Come back and tell us how it went.

Psych, Psych Baby!

I have mine on Monday morning at 10:00. What is 5150? -
4 months out and I ate the whole can!
magtart replied to Karnie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Both my son and I love the homemade soups I make more than most dinners we have. I make veggie soup with a small amount of meat from a shin bone, split pea soup with a ham bone, minestrone with ground beef, potato soup with bacon and cheese, and so on. I hope I can continue to eat these soups once I am sleeved? -
Way to go, you rock!!!

IDK, I would be popping an immodium. That doesn't necessarily mean it can't run it's course, just slow it down a bit.
-
I am so sorry to hear that. I am 59 as well and have never had a scan. I guess I had better get my butt in gear and get it done.
-
Would your doc allow an Immodium tablet? In comes in (vile tasting) liquid, too.
-
I'll have a Lemondrop Martini, please. I wonder how it would taste with unflavored protein powder in it.

Narcotic pain killers can really constipate you. I would suggest a daily dose of Miralax or the store brand. It can be dissolved in any liquid and is clear and tasteless.
