I can understand that. we have been poked and prodded more in the past year than most humans get in a lifetime. but you would look soooo badass with some ink. a flower or bird on the ankle? tell me it wouldnt look badass when you are biking along....ha ha

Oh...as a follow up....seriously, you had your entire digestive tract reconstructed and you think a tattoo will be painful? whats up wit dat

Mel. i have three and they are reminders of milestones in my life. this one will be a major one nothing large but highly significant. and you are and will continue to be a source of inspiration, motivation and smiles. thanks mel for always being there..have a great night

Thats right its the 12th and i did remember your my mate for this day. im celebrating hopefully this week with a tattoo. sounds strange but its a huge milestone and worth marking it. in Japanese letters for Honor, Courage, Discipline. i have some tests on the 16th and then my surgeon on July 3rd. very very busy doc. that appt was made 6 months ago best i could get. enjoy our day skinny. so very happy to hear from you.

Stacy97006, i added metamucil to my protien shakes (vanilla shake orange metamucil) and push as much water through you as you can stand be careful to do this slowly, no gulping. the bloating is more than likely from the internal swelling. this will pass (ha ha) it took me about five days before it passed. nothing unsual. but if you feel discomfort or have concerns call your team.

Yes i noticed it after i had my surgery....i honestly dont think its blood Yep same as Colefeet, had some trace blood that is expected but it should go away right. If you are concerned call your team and let them make the decision. Always remember the team is your first & best line of medical advise. They get these questions all of the time

We made it 30 yards out into this field and both agreed there was an above average chance of one or both of us breaking a bone if we went any further. took pictures turned back. mission deemed successful — with Alix Besecker at Hickory Run State Park.

Man boobs getting smaller soon to be gone .....sorry for all of your loss's but im very happy to see mine go. Kristi. 96 is a minimum for me i constantly drink,also pee alot honestly i averaage 2 gallons a day. this has helped me with kicking the soda habit. good luck sorry to hear about the gout.

Happy Surgiversary Mel! you are an amazing person capable of great things. Im glad you are one of my copanjeros on this journey. You have helped and inspired me to get to where i am now and will be with me when i hit my goal weight. to a long and happy life my friend revel in your sucess and have a wonderful day RJ

FYI .... A guy i work with introduced me to spagetti squash today. that right folks a vegetable you can subsitute for pasta and pardon my french but its damn tastey. his was your basic red sauce with turkey meatballs. actually tastes better that the traditional pasta . Joe is emailing me recipe and i will post on the june post-op recipe swap asap. bur google it!

wheeeeew .... thought it may just be me. strange i just assumed symetrical weight loss was expected...who knew.

Im going to put this out there. i know i still have a ways to go before i hit my goal weight and im healthy and happpy. and i know its a marathon not a sprint....etc etc. So with all that being said. while admiring myself in the mirror ( not an easy task ) i noticed i'm a little lopsided. is anyone else loosing "unevenly" ? im sure it will balance out EVENTUALLY but in just curious if anyone else has noticed anything similar

Amazing transformation, just like a butterfly :-) i so happy for you. Thank you for sharing this. it made my morning

Upsate PA. a little town in the Poconos called Mountain Top. Relax and shed some technology. going to an old school amusement park. going to ride roller coasters (2 wooden 1 metal) all day until i puke :-) since i fit in them now looking forward to an excellent adventure.....

Thesuse2000, Sound great. i cant do the greens. since my rny they just dont like me in the worst possible way.think ill subsitute some cut green Beans Going to give this a try when i get back from vacation. sounds like a great dish/ meal. thanks again and have a great day

m not sure if i mentioned this before but if i didnt i have been remise. 2 words- Savory Oatmeal Look up the recipes!!! Seriously its way healthy and a great quick meal you can cook at the beginning of the week. Oatmeal is no longer just for breakfast. here is the one i have done twice and been very very hapy with Irish steel cut oatmeal onions whole cut mushrooms soy based bacon bits olive oil low sodium soy sage rosemary garlic salt to taste ( least bit possible) pepper Cook oatmeal seperate and use a butt load of onions and mushrooms saute the mess together and add to oatmeal as the last step. You can cut up chicken fish or turkey into it. i like mine cold but you can work out the serving temp on your own Look up other recipies they are wide and vast. next week im doing an asian oatmeal and following that a middle eastern one. low cal, low fat,full of fiber and filling..with chicken or fish you get the added protien Peace out skinny people
