I feel ya. A couple of months ago i went to a dr (not my reg) about an ear infection. My bs was really high (350) and wasnt responding to insulin so she sent me to the ER in case it was asypmtomatic ketoacidosis. It took one ER nurse 5 trys to get enough blood for the tests. The nurse trying to get the iv fluids going took 7 trys to get it in. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I have had a 10 day stall, losing and gaining the same two lbs. I am 6 weeks weeks post op today. One promising sign, I have lost 21 inches over all. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I actually think its true, particularly with people who were obese or morbidly obese. Not because they dont find heavy people actractive, but because they need to chose partners that will help them maintain their new lifestyle. Most of us gain "love weight" when in a committed relationship. Someone who was obese and had to take it off with WLS already has predaliction towards unhealthy relationships with food. If they match up with someone who has that same issue then there can be problems including regain. My husband and I met through Medifast. We were both 326 pounds. Over the next seven months we both lost 65 pounds. But when we physically got together (as it was an online relationship in the beginning) our tendency to backslide pulled each other off track. By the time we had lived together for 6 years we had regained the weight we lost plus another 60 pounds. If we had both connected with health nuts would we have backslide? Probably not.

Ouch! Bipro Water is expensive. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

In my belly some (skin is trying to kiss in the middle), the thighs for sure and even in the naughty bits! HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I ordered this from swimsuitsforall because their sale was ending and I couldnt find another company that made similar. I want something to cover my thighs because of chub rub and because my thighs are losing weight first and getting even saggier. Not sexy. Hopefully I can find better options in the future.

They want to make sure you understand what you are doing. That this is no magic tool. That you are getting the surgery knowing your life and relationship with food is going to be changed forever. Its to help weed out the ones that will have instant regret and/or eat thru their sleeve and not be successful. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I didnt have a problem the first 4 weeks after surgery. The last two weeks thou... Had my first in 6 days today. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Current weight: 335 Goal weight: 300 Ive been in a stall this past week. Going back to mostly liquid diet, hitting the miralax and adding exercise to break it. Wish me luck. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I had 5 days of crazy food funerals prior to the start of my two week liquid diet. I cheated a couple of times on the liquid, mostly with Protein, but was 100% the last 5 days. I lost 25lbs during those 2 weeks. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I.was also sleeved on 10/5! Buddies! HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I have severe complex sleep apnea (my o2 stats were in the 60s when untreated). I had no issues with surgery. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I have a supply of WonderSlim bariatric food, some of which is pudding with 15g Protein. Its pretty good. I havent made my own, but bought the supplies to do it. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I was given cream of wheat while in the hospital and on full liquids. I would say yes HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Personally, I wouldnt because it wasnt on my approved foods list and because it still has 11g of carbs. Youre better off drinking half of a chocolate Protein drink heated up. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I made a warm slaw of shredded brussel sprouts, grated apple, crumbled bacon and cranberry wensleydale cheese. It was awesome. I had about 1.5 oz and my husband ate the rest. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Ok, I know its not lunchtime for everyone but how about we show off our tiny food creativity? I bet you guys have/ eat stuff that others wouldnt think of. Here's mine. 2oz - "Butter" chicken with paneer 2 oz - grapes HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

However, this is not an option in 22 states. That's why I mentioned this alternative. It's also not an option for federal employees no matter what state they live in....unless they carry completely THC free products (which means they come from the same regulated hemp plants as the products I described.)The problem with that is people might not throughly research the hemp based CBD products. The CBD might have been extracted using harsh chemicals or contain negligible amounts of CBD. My main point is - People need to throughly research any product they are considering buying if they cannot get it from a reputable MMJ club. We know there are a fair number of posters and lurkers, based on some of the posts, who do not do the needed amount of research. http://www.drugpolicy.org/blog/are-websites-claim-ship-cbd-oil-non-medical-marijuana-states-legit http://www.thedailychronic.net/2015/41401/fda-issues-warnings-to-makers-of-legal-cbd-hemp-oil-products/ HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!)

Didnt even think of eye brows. Good idea. Thanks! Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App Did it go by fast at least? Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App Yes. Surgery was on weds at 12pm. A lot of that day is blurry thanks to the nifty self admin morphine drip. Thurs was a lot of calling the nurse to help me pee, friday i was discharged. Supposed to be noon but wasnt 5pm. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Thanks! I brought all kinds of things to the hospital, anticipating all this doen time to fill. In reality I slept most of the time that wasnt filled with vitals, nurses, family, walking etc. One of the highlights of my stay was when they said it was ok to put on pants.

I also got my hair redyed, eyebrows waxed and a mani pedi the weekend before. I knew that i wouldnt be up to upkeep for a couple of weeks. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Toothbrush, hair brush, underwear and charging cable for your phone. You want really need anything else. You can wear the same clothes out that you wore in. During the stay you will be in a hospital gown and pretty much nothing else. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

I was wearing jeans 4 days post op and thats mostly cause i left the house. The jeans i have didnt come near my incisions. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Its nice when double chin recides behind reg chin, right? HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Dang nabit! I forgot the bloody ducolax! But i bought brussel sprouts and zuchinni... and accidently the most expensive piece of mozzerella in my life. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16
