Look at u hot mama!!!

I'm telling u use it to your advantage if you are going out during the Christmas frenzy. I'm sure it would clear a crowd if it's anything like mine

Same thing with your calcium. Don't take calcium and antacid together. Gas x..hmm I don't know. I seem to take randomly. I had my gallbladder out 10years ago so never had to take the actigall.

What a wonderful way to start a new year!! I agree on the last supper thing it's nice but honestly a lot of things after awhile u can tolerate in smaller quantities. I thought they were full of it when they told me my tastes would change but it did. I would def be excited the surgery got moved up and it's so worth it. This time next year you will be blown away by just how much your life has changed and health improved. It's awesome and I wish u well!

No idea what to expect for food this Christmas. My mama is cooking and we are going home. I think a ham will be made. I wanna make a meat and cheese sampler and she always has veggies they just may or may not be cooked to the healthiest degree Thought I'd update a new pic. Loved seeing Dori and would love to see some more of u guys as well. I'm so proud of us Awesome April peeps!!

Awesome!! I hope to be there Jan prob towards the end of the month. I'm thinking I wanna work on base there. I've worked on base here so might as well

Hi y'all! Christmas is almost here and we have about made it through our 1st hurdle of holidays. I got to say I'm pretty proud. I did have one mess up around thanksgiving but I severely learned my lesson! I'm quiet proud as every year I seemed to have packed on so much more weight and lost control this time of year. I don't see that happening this year! It's a huge victory. We are turning the corner from 2013 and 2014 is bringing closer our 1 year marks. Amazing!!!

Awesome

Just talked to my nutritionist Thur about this exact same thing so was glad to see u post this! It was helpful talking to her and also being able to whip out my app my fitness pal and actually show her exactly what i had been eating and get her input. I can say that was pretty helpful. She told me the goal is to make good choices from here on out but also to be able to live and eat normally also. It's all about done balance.

Congrats!!! What a wonderful way to start a new year! I hope when you look back a year from now that you are absolutely amazed at the life changes you have made! Congrats!!

Wow!!! Way to go! You look great and are doing amazing!!

Moving to Aurora or close by soon. USAF wife!

Too bad we can't use this gas for some kinda alternative fuel! Funny a little pouch and some skipped sections of intestine can produce so much! I think I'm gonna try to crop dusting and blaming someone else these Christmas shopping lines are just way to long.

I agree to the point..pay back is heck and my hubs is reaping.

I refer to it almost as a train horn. Long and steady!! My favorite is my 10yr old son horrified I was passing gas In the car taking him to school. He reached over and turned my seat heater off. He swore it was "cooking" them!! Like I said...maybe I'm just warped lol

Happy birthday!!!

Maybe I'm warped.. Maybe cause I'm a nurse and it's so just a typical convo..but I apparently seem to reply to gas & poo type questions..lol..yay me! I think there's tons of us on here who experience the post rny gas issue. Apparently I'm also no longer a lady(according to my husband)! Gas x strips are pretty much a staple around my house and it's not really went away. I didn't have the gas like this before. Just another wonderful things to love about the journey to better health

Looking good!!! Awesome work!!

Hi! Congrats on upcoming RNY! What a way to jump start life and start rebuilding after the band experience. I too have struggled with food addiction and emotional eating. It's a rough thing that is real and can cause so many problems. The good news is any weight loss will help your health and also the mobility. Rny is the gold standard in obesity surgery and has the most proven data to support that claim. It's definitely a step in the right direction. It's normal to have some Nervous apprehension about such a huge change and surgery coming up in your life. I encourage you to speak with someone that can help guide you with these feelings as well as talk about the food addiction. Wishing u the best and can't wait to hear from u and how things are going! Congrats! Good luck!

Yep! Your body is going through some big changes and it includes hormonal changes. I cried like a silly person over the smallest things. Commercials would get me!

How long ago was your surgery? Are there any pink/ reddish discoloration on the calf? Any warmth? Those things could be a sign of a blood clot. Not trying to be an alarmist but I am a nurse. If you are pretty recent post op u should definitely have this addressed as it could be a dangerous situation. If the things above are listed please don't wait and head to your nearest ER. Please promise me you will have it checked.

Prayer answered! At least maybe now they can help u. It's def a step towards progress. Yay!!

You look great!!! I think I'm close to goal but the scales I was using were packed up. Will weigh Thur when I go see my nutritionist.

Fluids!! It's vitally important to make sure your fluid intake is adequate. Get it however u can even if u have to use sugar free Popsicles, crystal light in water, broth etc. It Is a part of healing and recovery. If u are feeling unwell please call your dr. Sometimes it's easy to forget soon after surg as the feelings to eat and drink aren't As strong. Setting a alarm can be helpful. Healing, recovery, and adequate weight loss all depends of a well hydrated body. Good luck!!

Pork loin chops, lentils, and broccoli with cheese. I enjoyed dinner tonight
