Clothing Sizes: What do they even mean anymore?!?!?
lifeofblair replied to OutsideMatchInside's topic in The Gals' Room
I'm not sure I really had a size goal. I just knew I wanted to able to ship the same stores off the rack my friends did. I just assumed I'd be a 14-/16, but I'm a 10/12 depending on the store Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

I add a tablespoon to Protein shakes. I haven't tried any other way Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I wasn't allowed protein bars until 6 weeks out. I know programs are different. Can you tolerate yogurt? You could always add powder to yogurt for protein. But, the Oh Yeah! One bars are softer than other protein bars and are really good.

Protein drink suggestions please
lifeofblair replied to Nymea's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I could barely stomach protein drinks after surgery. I drank lots of milk. Not sure what's available, but there's various protein water out there. Isopure makes some but they can be pricey. I make my own protein shakes where they taste like milkshakes otherwise I wouldn't be able to stomach them. -
My Diet Coke has been laid to rest........
lifeofblair replied to Armygalbonnie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was a regular coke drinker. I had to quit cold turkey. No other way for me. -
I like the Powerful Yogurt drink. I found it in Walmart also. Tastes like a yoo-hoo to me.

"She's blushing!"
lifeofblair replied to emme.vee's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I work for a similar size company. I didn't tell anyone, but they figured it out. They were supportive of it. There have been others that have had it in the past and one lady was considering it, but has been able to lose weight without it. -

St. Francis Hospital in Memphis, TN
lifeofblair replied to DebiW's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I had my surgery through him. He did fine and I haven't had any problems, but I wouldn't go there again if only because of the hospital staff during my stay. The nurses forgot about me on multiple occasions while I had vomited and one point (finally) came in the room and asked why I was still in the chair. I told them nobody had come to help me back into bed. It was the first night, so I was still weak. I know of someone that had theirs at Baptist and they highly recommend them. My insurance doesn't cover St. Francis anymore, so I didn't go to my 1 year post op. -
I was the same way! I started dating in March. it's been fun go see what's out there and to go on dates. Nothing has stuck yet, but it's fun trying!! I've never brought up surgery or anything. I just say I eat healthy and work out just general stuff. Now if it goes anywhere I would, but nothing has yet.
