well i used to have a very scary psycho somatic reaction to peanuts and so my go to choice for Protein bars where larabar they are nut free and gluten free theres another on i like but dont know about the facility

well i am 24 and my bmi started at 52 when i started this process and i only weigh 281 right now thankfully but if you watch my 600 pound life that doctor performs bypass on patients that are over 500 pounds so i dont know why itd be an issue for your doc i would deffinatly get a second opinion

hey dawn its great to hear the update. are you allowed regular food during or is it all liquid? when i am 3 weeks away from my surgery its no starches of any kind then the last two days are Clear Liquids only. pm me if you want we can chat thru text or here if you like

i live in Baltimore lutherville specifically if your familiar with balto county and yes you guys have a ravens fan here

im not from pittsburgh but i do travel there every november for the gaspcon. is anyone on here apart of that me and my hubby go every year and i would love to hang out this year with fellow wls patients. and for those who have no idea what gasp is it the game association of southern pennsylvania its a monthly group that meets to play board card and role play games. the convention is held every year in november and its tons of fun with an auction that you can sell your geeky stuff that you no longer need. like i said i go every year and would love to meet some people

Hi! I have never heard of this. Sounds interesting tho

if you go on the website for gasp you can join and meet with people. unfortunatly i live in md and its too much of a drive to go except for the convention. it is a lot of fun 3 days of nothing but games and geeky people of all kinds. if you like d&d or any other table top rpg there are loads of people to play with

im in a different situation than most i work with family and they rock they're 100% supportive and i have my best friends support as well. it just happens my best friend is my hubby. i would be lost with out him honestly i thank his mom all the time for raising the perfect spouse

im so scarred for you because many of the "christian men" i had contact with when i was a believer were like this. and yeah its just emotional abuse now but there is a sect of christianity where it is perfectly acceptable to beat your wives into obediance and please dont let it get there just look up quiverfull movement and please learn from these women who got out. i was raised in an abusive home and its just words now but love wont make him not abuse you. in stead of asking i love him why does he treat me this way ask why do i love someone who treats me this way

ive had 3 surgeries on my ears and im still pre-op for bypass but the last thing i recall is the plastic mask on my face and the first thing is wow i really need to pee also wheres my apple juice

My surgeon doesn't like straws so she has all her patients buy a camalbak water bottle with bite valve this makes it so your not sucking air when you drink

im coming from the perspective of the daughter of two addicts liking to go over board one weekend is not addiction drinking 10-12 drinks every day and not paying bills because you spent it on booze is addiction. so yeah lets be careful about how we sling that word

hey dawn just checking in with you i know you start your pre-op diet soon just be patient your time will come and it will be over before you know it

my practice has us all buy a camalbak Water bottle with a bitevalve and it makes sure you dont suck in air when drinking its awesome

thats fantastic go girl

I'm submitting for insurance in march and should have an April date. Thankfully I don't have a liquid diet preop just the last two days

So my final meeting with my surgeon is in march so I should get a April date then I hope I feel so good about this decision and even though I'm a little scared of the surgery in more scared of what's going to happen with out it well lets get this support group going

I'm still preop with no kids but I just wanted to say your fears are just that fears don't let them stop you from trying because that little two year old needs the best mommy he can have. I'm sure next February once you've lost all the weight you're going to look back on this post and smile it will all be ok

Oh sweetie I'm sorry your going through this speedy recovery for you I hope

Awe your so cute and yeah he's a hottie you got a good guy it seems so that's awesome ????

My goals for 2016 is to get to onderland by new years and to start a physical fitness routine

I watch the show just out of kind of a bemusement and a shadenfraude of wow this is a really strange way to approach life. But do I get angry when the Dr on the show tells one of the contestants that he took the easy way out by having bypass and he failed yes defiantly

Honestly it comes down to what your surgeon thinks is best for you if your bmi is over 50 and you have gerd go with bypass because it can get way worse with sleeve
