My insurance won't even look at pannier removal until weight is lost and stable for two years. Then they may pay for it if medically neccessary.

Hummus made with protein powder and low fat Greek yogurt...we'll. See how flavorless the protein really is.

Great job! Lookingg good!

I eat at the same time everyday...meven if it's just protein in some form I'm not very hungry.

Nobody would take mine either..I ended op flushing it, tearing the label off the bottle, and trashing the bottle...not the best solution

Great! I'm excited for you!

Ouch! Been there done that...hope it didn't ruin your day.

I agree with Pam...I know I'm going to hurt and that's why I came to the conference despite my doc's advice to the contrary. I guess after thirteen years of nerve pain I'd learn to be ok with what I can and cannot do. I enjoyed the hell out of the part of the conference I could go to. And that's going to have to be good enough. Acceptance is the key to all my problems today. It's amazing how much better I feel after 10 hours of sleep! Gratitude ...I also have to remember that I was bacically in bed for twelve years after a very bad open heart surgery...now I expect to leap over the moon 6 weeks after rny! Laughing at myself!

So I'm at a conference and of course I feel like the biggest one here. Then my leg and side start hurting more and more as the day goes on and I'm going to miss the most important meeting tonight. I'm really frustrated because I think my chronic pain is going to keep me from getting into shape ....I do all I can do and it just feels inadequate. Feeling fat and sad right now.

I just got cleared to swim again and I can't wait to hit the pool again. It's just that standing and walking really exacerbated my chronic regional pain syndrome and the nerve pain in my leg...the conference required a lot of both. I was also with my sister who is 5'7" 123lbs and has never had a weight problem or a physical ailment. She moves fast and gets frustrated when I can't keep up. Oh well tomorrow will hopefully be better.

I had a delicious crab cake with corn relish and spinach. Not the healthiest crab cake in the world but eating all by myself at the hotel it was hard to find something without bread or that wasn't huge. Sigh..now I'm feeling guilty.

Thanks you guys...it's a bummer. I hope ALL of us feel better soon.

I am a chronic pain patient. A year ago I went to a long- term pain rehabilitate program which really improved my quality of life...I decided to get healthy hence the rny. Welll as I was exercising pre op, I somehow pinched a nerve in my hip which left me in constant pain again....the I found out I tore the labrum in my tight shoulder. Then today I found out that My back is totally f'd up with arthritis and intrudinng bone spurs that are causing me more nerve pain. I'm ssssoooo tired of being squsdhed by health problems. I walk everyday but I get jealous when I see posts about how herd people are working out. I really just want to get healthy and toned....I guess in God's time....I still think that I'm failing because I can't really push myself when exercising..n YET!

Yeah a conference and have to miss the big meeting tonight. Not happy about how I feel right now.my side and leg are killing me and I only walked like five miles I hope that losing another 100 is going to take care of this.

Cool! Can't wait!

I'm hoping my insurance pays for some removal...I'm already having rashes and skin breakdown and my surgery was 4/29

On the road so I ate about three bites of a chicken chopped salad with fat free dressing from subway. Not bad for on the go. I had about five bites from a pf changs chopped chicken for lunch..lol it took me longer to eat this than it took everyone else to finish their entire entree.

Congrats to everyone! I'm at a conference in Ohio and I fit in the arena seats yesterday...a small victory but a victory nonetheless.

There was a four pound difference between my docs at 3:00 in the afternoon and mine at home in the morning. I didn't sweat it because I was a number on a scale for so long, I'm not going to give it that much power over my life anymore. I'm losing, you're absolutely tiny and that's that.

I had to wait til my incisions were healed...one of mine was left open to drain and it took about six weeks...I just went swimming and I had surgery on 4/29

Isn't it amazing how different each program is? I had surgery the same day and I start regular food Monday.

I know massage and acupuncture did wonders for my chronic pain...try it mami!
