    Every day I'm waffling....

    I think that sounds normal, you have to give it thought before you proceed... I was like that until I starting moving forward with the process... Now I'm like I decided to have the surgery lets get on with it... My surgeon suggested attending a support group to give me an opportunity to hear from those who have had it... I hope to do that this month.. They say the taste buds will change so many things we think we'll miss we won't because they would taste the way they use to.

    The straw that broke the camel's back

    This getting approved thing is so annoying... It hard to mentally prepare for surgery when you don't know if you will get approved... "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  5. Try adding yogurt or cottage cheese to the Protein shake... Maybe in the blender with ice and cinnamon... I find the shake taste best when I use the blender.... "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein

    chia seeds/flaxseed

    Hemp seed are high in Protein too... I have them, I'm pre op... In reviewing my papers from the NUT, I see they will be allowed post op too... Hemp seeds are soft so easy to add to yogurt, have a nutty flavor similar to flax seed. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  7. Take an inch off your height, bam your qualified "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  8. It's not the most comfortable situation for you, it will all work out.... Good luck with your surgery "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  9. Just keep in mind these are medical professionals I'm sure this happens a lot, they will help you handle it. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  10. I'm thinking if you could have all these doctors who are treating you put something in writing regarding your medical issues and how they think surgeon will be the best option to resolve them... Or you could shrink a bit plus put weights. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  11. I think the focus on planning food will never end... As a teacher we have a saying if you don't plan for kids, they'll plan for you... I kind of see it the same way with food, if you don't plan your meals you will wind of making poor choice.. I do believe the longer you follow high Protein eating the easier it will be and as you move along in the process you will find more and more sources of protein..600 calories does not sound healthy to me.. During my trip to traders joe yesterday, I found hemp seed... 10grams of protein per serving, good for adding to yogurt etc... "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  12. I add lots of ice, keeping it in the fridge should be fine... I make mine with Water but will add Greek yogurt or cottage cheese or Peanut Butter.. Cinnamon or flax seeds... I like to vary the taste of it so I don't use pre made shakes. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein

  15. Using sulfate free shampoo may not stop hair loss but will be gentler on the hair you have... It will also help your color if you color you hair last a bit longer, not at the roots of course... Chaz wen is one example of sulfate free shampoo, there are many.. Peter Coppola has one that's sulfate free and infused with Keratin... Preventing the hair loss seems impossible so the only option is the treat the hair you have well. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein

    Ugh annoyed

    @robertd16.... Once they removed you from your first date they filled your spot with someone else... They can't tell them oh we need to move you because our patient lost weight and his surgery is back on.... Glad you lost the weight and maybe learned an important lesson on the way to surgery "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein

  19. Thanks a bunch... I'll be checking those out other ones out. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  20. @imadethelist... Do you know the correct name of the gadget, I think I got mine at Walgreens... I'm pre op so I'm working on dropping a few pounds prior to surgery. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  21. Talk the insurance coordinator at the surgeon's office, get a copy of your policy and compare what they both say... Good luck "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  22. I too love Pasta but in making my decision I considered is pasta or being healthy more important... You can get a vegetti, think that's the name and it turn squash etc... Into spaghetti.. As long as you use your own sauce it's tasty Your taste buds are going to change after surgery so you may wind of hating it.
