I told everyone at work. Got the same comments as you. Not fat. You can do excercise you can blah blah blah My hubby "checked in" on Facebook at the hospital so the night of surgery I said f it. I post a long post about it and told naysayers to stuff it in advance. I was shocked how many of my FB friends private messages me to tell me they had had a lap band or sleeve or bypass. They're keeping it to themselves and that's fine and great. One person on FB posted a response thanking me for coming out and asked why I did. I responded that 2 years ago I saw an FB friend I hadn't seen in 20 years. Back then she was a nice round blueberry and 300 plus pounds. The new her was 120 and still losing. I asked her what she had done and she told me the sleeve. She was upfront honest and his nothing. She told me of her struggle. She made a difference. And my honesty is making a difference to a coworker. I hide nothing. Open book.

I went to get a ring guard last week. The jeweler told me come back when I stopped losing so it's sized kne time only

I am sorry this happened to you You're very courageous to share that.

My whole foods near me had sample packs of everything they sell. I picked up one of everything and really liked Tara's Whey.

Not for this. I could only do liquids 24 hours before

Go on yor states exchange and purchase a private plan with coverage would be what I would do. Not ever go to a foreign country

Excellent. Good luck to you!

Congratulations! Best of luck!

And by the way you look FANTASTIC!!

I did my nose a couple years ago at eye and ear infirmary in NYC. They charges me $3000 They had a ton!!! Of plastics that they did and I won't mind returning when the time is right. The boob lift and implant was $4000 plus the implant cost. So the bigger you go the more it can be. You just really have to do a lot of googling to find them. Look for plastic surgery teaching clinics in your searches I live in north jersey I know hey have them at: NYU- Presby/Columbia, langone and cornell Eye and Ear Lenox hill

Try this also- and if you can eat soft food great of not break out the cuisinart! 1 pound lean ground turkey 1-2 teaspoons Japanese sesame oil 1-2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce 1 scallion 1-2 ounces cilantro chopped fine 1 eggs - mixed 1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs (add slowly) Combine all ingredients except egg and Panko Slowly add 1 egg. Combine. Add a little of the Panko combine. Once you see it is binding you can stop adding Panko and save carbs Make meatballs. I go for golf ball size Bake at 400 for 20 minutes Makes about 15 or so at 3 ounces each if you do golf balls----Delicious. Wrap em up and freeze eat as needed I serve this to the whole family. They eat what I eat or they can make their own meals

I like it. I used can Beans once but trying to reduce the sodium content so I made my own pot of dry beans over the weekend and packed up 4 ounce baggies from that and froze them. I use those now and that helps on sodium by a lot. I eat this maybe 3-4 times a week and mash the beans with a fork

Luckyyyyyyy Bet you'd never think that with your diabetes. My hubby is a type 1 and he lost 50 + pounds with no issues. Eats whatever no issues. Just be careful on timing of insulin shot maybe?

I chalked it up to the oil It was from am Arabic restaurant and had a lot

Dumping is diarrhea. And it's awful I ate a falafel and 2 tablespoons of hummus and 30 minutes later I has indigestion, hot flashes, intestinal cramping and liquid runs. The 2nd time I almost did not make it to the toilet. It was bad. Think stomach flu without the vomiting and once it's all out your done

She had rny per her post

Are you on soft foods yet? Can you start incorporating ground meats? Make some turkey chili or Beans? I eat an egg a day. Gotta say am all egged out. But I was getting really creative. I love deconstructed huevos rancheros 2 tablespoons of beans - I like black and mashed them you can use refried 1 tablespoon 2% Mexican blend cheese shredded 1 poached egg on top A couple drops of cholula hot sauce. Optional or add a tablespoon of salsa Delicious

June 24 and yes am feeling same. NUT said not enough Protein. I try to walk daily or use staionary bike. Each for 20 minutes I really can't handle more than that I am just trying to get more rest and sleep but practically impossible since evry little noise wakes me up. Went back to work today and even more exhausted

Agree with jiinwa. I really had hoped this post would be closed. Enough has been said pro/con. Sad that women have to treat each other this way rather than build each other up and be supportive. I don't appreciate high school bully behavior.

Bergen county. Had sleeve June 24 at valley hospital

I do chewable children's Vitamins and a sublingual b12. I set an alarm on my phone to remind me and wait 1 hour after eating as was told by NUT that it absorbs better Adding Calcium this week as well Vitamin d I do 50,000 units every Saturday morning

Started actigall today as prophylactic am 3 weeks out from being sleeved tmmw. I have been feeling like complete crud all day since I took it. A general feeling of indigestion. Intestinal cramping (already went today thanks this was after) Don't know what it could be. Everything I ate today I've had before today so nothing new. This is the only thing I can point to. Anyone else bad reaction to actigall?

They pipe popcorn smell into theatre I heard?

Was told I can do Special K as part of soft foods. I haven't yet. Started soft foods today and started with oatmeal.

You should add the state for the bcbs as they're all different.
