Heading back to ER again, prayers please
Inner Surfer Girl replied to nprcowboy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow. Focus on you and your wife's recovery. That is all that matters. IF you are able to update us that is great. IF NOT, for whatever reason, that is understandable. Still praying for you and your wife (and whoever it was who sent you such an unkind message). -
I'm so thirsty...
Inner Surfer Girl replied to FindingSassy's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
If you are drinking bottled water you might want to check the sodium content. Believe it or not some bottled water has a lot of sodium. -

Inner Surfer Girl replied to FindingSassy's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
How much is "plenty"? If you are thirsty you are probably not drinking enough. -
This is the one I use.

Just need someone to vent to
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Aribay1's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Relax. Breathe. I think it just takes time for our perceptions to catch up with reality. Have you talked with a professional (your Dr., a counselor/therapist) about your feelings? Your body and your mind are going through a lot of rapid change so be gentle with yourself. -

I think you meant something similar to this one? I found it via Pinterest from this site http://jewelpie.com/sure-way-to-get-8-glasses-of-water-diy-water-bottle-marked-with-time/

Inner Surfer Girl replied to nprcowboy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Still praying for you both. Thanks for the update. Even with all the stress and uncertainty, your post reads much more hopeful and optimistic than before. -
Welcome and best of luck with your journey. I had to give you a shout out because my parents used to live in Ottawa, IL!

Cooking for one
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Bacon-n-Limes's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I live alone, have a small/limited kitchen and am learning to cook regularly for myself. I am trying to focus on the basics and clean eating. Following this post for ideas. -
Shrinking liver
Inner Surfer Girl replied to MamaTo3inNH's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was told no carbs. My surgeon isn't concerned about fat, just carbs. -
Walking on the beach figures in my daydreams, too.
-
Don't forget we have a lot of internal fat, too. We can't control where our body stores fat, nor can we control where it is burned from.

Any SLOW losers out there?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Go4itLori's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Sounds like you are doing great. Comparing yourself to others will only drive you crazy. -
Some no nos
Inner Surfer Girl replied to mishelcrz88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Staying off the scale (no compulsive weighing) is one that seems pretty common. -
I second the suggestion about grief counseling. Have you considered seeing a therapist, attending OA, and/or other support?

How did you get started?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to tel80's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I started with my Primary Care doctor who referred me to a surgeon. Whether or not you have a referral you can attend a seminar. Most surgeons have frequent free information seminars. Look for a Center of Excellence. -
Can someone help me out? Drinking water isn't easy...
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Anthony DeCastro's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you tried it room temperature? -
Struggles with Living Away From Home
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Bea Amaya's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
What a fun adventure. I agree that there have got to be some good local options (I love Mediterranean and middle eastern food). I would love to see your suggestions if you discover regional foods that work for your program. -
Onn occasion have you taken NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin Motrin® , Aleve®, Alka-seltzer®
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Homecie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This sounds like something you should ask your doctor. -
What kind of pain meds?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to laurenella82's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'd definitely talk to your doctor. -
How can I get the 60g of protwin?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Sexy Granni's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you then divide this into 3+ servings? From my understanding that is way too much protein to have at once. -
Not Losing much weight.
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Wmc1231's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You said you are eating less, eating sugar, and not getting in your water. Sounds like you should try making sure you get in your protein and your water. -
Is it okay to ask your surgeon his mortality rate?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to raquel_c's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't have to ask mine. He discussed it openly in the first group meeting. -
Have you tried this broth?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to laurenella82's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
How does it compare to Better than Bouillon?
