Here I may have a solution, if you get dumping from too much sugar.? If you do make your self sick from candy so that you no longer want it. I have seen it work for people in my support group. Keep in mind dumping is rough for some people and a wicked deterrent. Otherwise, search for a healthy substitute, like dark chocolate almonds from blue diamond, sweetened with stevia, have protein better for you than Cadbury or Hershey. -

Depends on where you are located, each HEB markets to the type of neighborhood they are in. In San Antonio Bandera and 1604 has its own health food protein section.

First bad food experience!

Pork chops are the only food I now find deadly. Few bites and they stay and on comes the salivating and pain . Steak without any problem. -

Well lets see, my wife of 18 years looks totally different then when I met her. She has had breast augmentation X 2 had to have first set replaced after 12 years. She has had lipo of everything and a tummy tuck. When we married she was all natural, I loved her that way. I also love her the way she is now. All of it was done as she wanted it done for her, I thought she was perfect the way she was. I always say if it makes you happy do it. It will not change what is on the inside. -

Internal Staples Question - what metal & reactions
bigmike replied to Cherry's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Generally speaking they are micro staples made of titanium, as it does not have adverse effects in long term implantation. They come in long strips banded to a surgical absorbable material, you can expect quite a few. Check ethicon in a web search for more info, they and depuy are largest manufacturers of robotic staples. -

Any change in sensation, motor function will usually be related to vitamin/ mineral deficiency. Bottom line see your Dr. And take vitamins for life. Once imbalance is found, may take up to 2 months to return to normal.

Better than care credit is Chase Health Advantage they provide total cost financing plus fixed interest rate.

Ok ladies lingerie is more about you feeling beautiful, it accentuates your curves, leaves some to the imagination. Giving maximum time for foreplay, remember that excitement of being on a date. Teasing up to the point of no return. Leave room for the passion, I for one love lingerie, makes a beautiful woman that much more sexy.

The old adage patience is a virtue, or Rome wasn't built in a day comes to mind. I know you are frustrated, but it will work just takes time. The amount of your calories is low, be sure you are getting adequate protein intake. That way you just lose fat and not any of your muscle mass. I encourage you to fill your mind with positive thoughts, and be kind to yourself. This gets better. -
Omg this woman is driving me nuts on recovery

Being a nurse myself for over 18 years, I can tell you that each patient's pain threshold is different. Also some medications just do not work for some people. You may give a tiny dose to one person and they sleep all day and another you could give a dosage big enough to drop a horse and it just does not work. -

I guess my Doctor was right, he said the small amount that I could consume at a time he doubted I would have food intolerances. So yesterday being my sons 15 th birthday. I had broccoli cheese soup, pizza, breadstick, and a slice of birthday cake. 0 dumping 0 problems. Mind you it was all homemade, ladeled in fat with real cheese. It did however take me 3 hours to finish it. My portion size was sig smaller than my 13 year old daughter's. It was my first real meal since before Christmas.
