What should I take to the hospital?
shmily replied to nx4slim's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I took slippers and hair brush, something loose to wear home, like a lounge dress.... and that was it. If you use your IPHONE etc take that and the charger. You probably won't care about anything else. They provide all you need. -

I think we should not change what is working for each of us

Recently Lost a Best Friend Because of My Decision to Get Bariatric Surgery
shmily replied to Sharon C.'s topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
She is an uneducated person if she thinks it is "cosmetic surgery" and to me, in todays world, those who prefer to remain uneducated on a subject fall under the "ignorant" label. I would say she wasn't a very good friend to start with and why on earth would she FEEL BETRAYED????????? -
I just wanted to write a myriad of things here. My hair has been falling out now for about 2 weeks. It is more of a nuisance than a concern. Also, I was at Sam's Club yesterday to get Premier Protein drinks and they have gone up to $18.88 for 12!! SIGH.........If I can get a better deal at Costco I may have to get a card for there. The last things is this. Has anyone else had a problem with BO since surgery? It seems I cannot find a deodorant that works and I never had this problem before......
-
We had Sams and Costco but when it came time to renew, we kept Sams because they offer a military discount on their membership. They are both the same distance for us. I just got a Costco membership because I did the numbers and with the shakes alone, it will pay for itself in three months, with the price difference. I will pay for Costco and my husband will keep Sams. Sams Club has free shipping on orders of 99.00 or more.
-
I priced them elsewhere and even Amazon is atrocious!!
-
I am trying to justify the 55.00 a year fee...from savings on the shakes. Unlike Sams Club, Costco does not offer a military discount on the membership fee.

Thyroid (hypo) condition and gastric bypass anyone?
shmily replied to bellalulu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
High thyroid has nothing to do with being overwt. In fact, typically it causes wt loss, but has to be treated with radioactive thyroid or sometimes removed as my friends was -
Thyroid (hypo) condition and gastric bypass anyone?
shmily replied to bellalulu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes mere. I have high thyroid .. Whatever that is. I just haven't been scheduled for surgery yet. This is my last month for the journey and I meet w the surgeon June 4.. Super excited If you have high thyroid then you have HYPERthyroid. -
has anyone else had....
shmily replied to xtina965's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Probably "roids" from straining. I have this problem if I get too plugged but pls do tell your doc -
No symptoms of any problem for me. I also take other meds. I was never warned about any problems. Bloodwork coming at 3 mos. Don't take your vitamins for at least 2 hrs after taking your thyroid

Will I be able to get rid of my CPAP machine?
shmily replied to Bandista's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Betcha a dollar you can ... Mine has security settings, too, but hey ... it's electronic ... there's always a workaround. PM me your make and model. You'll have to disconnect the phone, for sure, but also know many, many people are dropping their home phone lines now, so ... Yep, I sure do. After much adoo and many phone calls, I finally got my pulmo to work with the provider until they got mine set on auto, to only give me what I need. It is SO much better. I told her If they don't hurry up and get it done, I will just do it myself since I found a youtube video that shows me how". She replied "You shouldn't mess with your machine". I replied, "That is better than not wearing it at all". The data showed since my wt loss I had only stopped breathing three times an hour and the mask loss was 47% per night. I find since I have started using it again, I don't wake up with a headache and do feel less sleepy during the day. -

I got this sometime back, they are good but very high in fat, for my plan -
More than any food or booze etc, I miss my ibuprofen! I have fibromyalgia and spinal stenosis. I hurt my low back yesterday during exercising and cannot stand up straight. Normally a couple of Ibuprefen would help so much, but I cannot take them ever

On myfatsecret......how do I manually add food? For example I only ate 1/4 c 1% cottage cheese and it didn't have that portion selection

What program do you use to track your food? MYFITNESSPAL says I should have close to 1500 calories a day and 49 gr carbs. I don't think so...

Will I be able to get rid of my CPAP machine?
shmily replied to Bandista's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have a machine with a modem and I cannot change the settings -
When I saw my doctor for my 2 mos checkup, I told him I was eating his suggested 400-500 calories a day. He said "great". He also told me I would lose more wt if I kept up with the 2 shakes a day and I am happy to do that. He suggested 600 cal a day for the phase I am in....(almost 3 months) so that is what I do
