How old are you? I do believe at a certain age you know when you've met a person that meets your expectations, but I wouldn't call it love.

How many clear liquids can you consume without discomfort?
her1981 replied to provenzee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You're doing great! It just means that the swelling has gone down quickly and you're able to get liquids in. Once you move to food, you'll feel the restriction. -
It's funny how people keep calling me skinny. I guess when you're used to seeing me at 400+ pounds, 300 would look skinny, lol

Anyone else already dreading the loose skin?
her1981 replied to reachbree's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will probably get my arms done, but I kinda don't care about my tummy and chest. So far, they are not terrible and a good bra and spanx's can make them manageable. However, these arms must go! -
Acid reflex – only when sleeping?
her1981 replied to Scottyd1264's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sleeve has higher incidence of acid reflux. Things that have helped me is to not overeat ( lol, it happens), don't go to bed too soon after eating, and no carbs in my evening meal. -
Having salmon tonight and total calories for the day is 869. I don't usually go over 900, but the steak was calling me, lol

Pre-Op Diet after Surgery (Stall)
her1981 replied to iamaredhed39's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I live on the "pre op" diet, but mine was basically a low carb low fat diet.... I personally do not prefer the liquid diet to break a stall. I might drop carbs or eat some carbs to shake up my diet based on how long I've been stalling and the foods I've been eating, but overall, I just ride them out. My body has a pattern of stalling for 2-3 weeks and then the 4th week I'll lose 6-10 pounds, pretty much EVERY month. -
Ok. My surgeon keeps trying to keep me at 600 calories but it's hard to do with keto. I'm losing plenty, I just wanted to know if anyone else was doing it.

I had steak for dinner and it pushed me over
-
Yeah, I've been doing it all along. It's the only way I know how to eat and feel satisfied. Here's today. Definitely over my calories. I was so hungry. ????
-
Thanks. I'm trying to find the right balance. Here's what I have currently, although I aim for about 800 calories.

I just saw "All of Me"
her1981 replied to Pinkgirl1234's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@yerawizardamy I totally agree with you. I was 435 pounds and got sleeved because it was affecting my health. Even now, I just look forward to being like a size 16 or 18. I love being full figured, and my husband loves it too. It's a happy medium. -
How was goal weight determined?
her1981 replied to Freckles70's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My doctor uses a scale that identifies body fat, body water, lean muscle/bone density and determined that I could be healthy at 230. My fat free weight was 180, and based on that, I could weigh 230 and have a healthy amount of body fat. -

Going in I was nervous and my mind was blank. All I remember thinking was how stark white the room was. Coming out... I remember shouting, "oh, the pain. It hurts!" Bwahahaha

My 600 Pound Life: 2016 Season
her1981 replied to Inner Surfer Girl's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I think it depends on who's paying. My insurance will pay for skin removal, but only by my bariatric surgeon. If I want it done by a plastic surgeon, I'm on my own... On Skin Tight, I would like to think the show pays, and maybe she though Dr. Now would do a good job??? I don't know. As far are her shape afterward, I think she was a touch too thin and would benefit from some muscle mass. She was just very skinny. to me. -
Stall busted with a 5 pound loss!!! Every time I start complaining about the stall, the scale moves,. Maybe I'll complain more often, lol
-
one month stall.......................................No words.
-
'Tis the season to stall again and again, lol. I'm not even mad.
-
-
I officially have less to lose than I've already lost. I'm excited!
-
What a glorious day!!! The stall is broken and I have now lost 102 pounds!!!!! God is great!!!!
-
I'm definitely going to need an electric blanket. I'm so cold and it's only November!!!

Although im still hot flashing some, I notice I get cold easier than before WLS. What continues to be a HUGE help is wearing a warm fleece or quilted type vest, and wearing a loose cotton scarf around my neck, and a cute knitted beanie all the time. The vest keeps your core warm so the body heat can spread to your extremities. Since your neck and head are already warm ( scarf and beanie! ) , its hot flash time !!

And here I was hoping I could skip the dreaded period stall this month since I'm going to San Diego next month... XD 
merry christmas
