    Sorry, hit the wrong button....I wanted to tell you guys, subway will make any sub they offer into a salad, it is gf and tastes great. Here in col. Ohio, it was $6.00. Completely worth it. Oh, and Bob Evans restaurant has a gf menu, you have to ask for it.
    Thanks for all your help and advice.

    Hi..... So I was diagnosed yesterday with high gluten intolerance, my mom has full celiac disease. My pcp is saying that my gluten intolerance is what is causing all of my MS like symptoms, I was considered probable MS before now. I am a super picky eater and I've been helping my mom out with her shopping for gf items, however there is nothing really that I would like to eat myself. In my house there are only a few things that I can eat that are gf, cottage cheese and Heinz ketchup being my favorite items. Lol. I can't ever eat matzo and butter, which is a favorite snack, nor Peanut Butter. I am also unsure how the gf foods will work with my band. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

    There is butter and Peanut Butter out there that is gluten free. Smart balance peanut butter and I think the butter is called smart choice. It's in a little white tub. If you have a Kroger where you live I would go there. That's where my mama gets all her GF food from. They actually have more things than you actually think. Gluten free meatloaf is the best meatloaf I've ever had! :-)

    HI
    Im totally gluten free and feel much better. I have not had problems with gluten free food and the band.
    Do you like eggs?
    There are gluten free Protein powders and drinks, also, for when you get a fill.
    A snack I Iike is some crunchy rice crackers and almond butter --- but I watch the rice crackers because they turn to sugar in my body, and just a few.
    I eat a fair amount of meat that I cook myself.
    Be careful with switching out gluten free Snacks and treats. I fell into doing that, so excited to have found gluten free foods ----but I found the wrong ones! Cookies, cakes, ice cream, bread--which required BUTTER to go down. Dont do that!
    I fix green smoothies and add Protein Powder.< /p>
    Going gluten free can help one go low carb since mostly what you have to avoid are the gluten containing foods that are also carbohydrates (like bread).
    I drink coconut milk that comes in a carton in the refrig section (not the canned ones). It contains 50% more Calcium than dairy milk.
    I hope this helps.
    I also hope you feel a lot better going strictly Gluten Free!

    I actually found that online and I bought a bra there. Went from a 40H to a 38JJ.... I had been squeezing into the H for awhile. I also found a place in Greenville,SC and bought another bra there. I can't think of the name right now, but I'll post it when I remember. Lol. It's a huge difference having the proper size bra.

    I really like the Lane Bryant balcanette bras, they are molded cups, so they give light shape, no padding, they are really comfortable. In your size I'm sure they will have lots of cute styles to chose from. I've been wearing only L.B. bras for almost 15 years now. But, I wear a 40H and now I need a 38I or a 38J and I can't find any stores that carry them. I have to try them on. We are going on vacation Thursday and I am looking online to find anywhere that carries big sizes in store....from Ohio all the way to obx. Lol. Good luck.

    I know what you mean about them being droopy. My DH told me mine looked like bowling balls at the end of tube socks. Then one day he told me they looked like a sad basset hounds ears. :/ Smh

    KTBUGG got a reaction from Bos123 in Anyone use UP by Jawbone?   
    I use the fit bit flex, it is like the jawbone up but it has several things I like better than jawbone.
    The flex clasps around your wrist and is secure with a closure, the jawbone overlaps a little on your wrist, so it can get caught on things. * The fitbit is Bluetooth connected, whereas the jawbone has to be plugged into your phones headset jack to upload all info. I like going into the fitbit app on my iPhone and it syncing right away, makes it a lot easier for me. * the fitbit will work in the shower, baths, doing dishes and giving dogs baths, I don't have a pool so I don't know for sure about swimming, however that's not really what they count. * the fitbit comes with a large and small wristband, you choose which size fits you best, the jawbone, you have to find which size fits you and then buy that size wristband. If you need a large wristband now and lose weight around your hands and arms then need a smaller size, you will have to buy a new jawbone. * the fitbit is $99.99. Vs. $129.99...... I am just giving you a few things I really like better, I did a lot of research between the 2 devices before I bought. I really like using the combo fitbit flex and my fitness pal apps together, as well. Hope that helps.

    Dr. Brad Watkins did mine, he is awesome! That's a great weight loss! Congrats!! I'm losing the pounds slower after my revision, but am losing inches really quick. I think I would lose more pounds if I ate more. Lol. I'm in the green zone and am never hungry. If I can help with anything please let me know.
