  1. Saw this in a fb post and thought it was hilarious. I've lost a newborn calf. Lol. Happy Monday!

    Acceptable Low Carb Snack?

    Personally I would not buy this for the sheer fact that ingredients have white rice and sugar.
  3. Lily's chocolate is my go to chocolate when I crave it. It's made with stevia.
  4. Everyone's response is more funny than this list now that I've re-read everyone's comments. 🤣
  5. I think that's why these are so funny!
  6. Thanks! I was just hoping it would make people smile at least.
  7. OMG!!!! These responses are great. You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work losing!
  8. The best worst comment I got was when a coworker asked how much I've lost and I was happy to tell because I was excited about it and the response was "wow, you lost a 5th grader". My boss heard and now she makes comments about the 5th grader comment, dragging it out, so I'm always hearing it...smh...really?!? People just don't think before they speak.
  9. I was at work laughing too much at these. It was difficult to keep quiet.
  10. Congrats on losing a house cat. Lol. The complete oxford english dictionary is my ultimate goal too.
  11. I did not tell anyone until about a month after surgery. I wanted to wait until I had my 1 month post op check up.

    Clothing Size

    I think it depends on where someone carries the weight on their body and their height. I went from 289 wearing almost 24/26 to 209 wearing 16/18 and I'm 5' 5 1/2.
  13. My daughter's bday party was almost 4 weeks after sugery at a bowling alley. Talk about junk food. So I asked my nut what would be good to have and she said the pizza toppings as long as I don't go over the 1oz portions of protein I was allowed. Since I was already able to have cheese this was a little treat but I haven't had it since. And I took a protein drink with me just in case.
  14. At my 4 week post op appointment my nut said that my protein drinks were considered part of my fluid intake count, because I was really worried I wasn't getting enough either. I felt so much better after what she said.

    Smoking

    I'm not a smoker so I never had to do this test but I found this article that might help you understand the reasons/benefits of quiting before surgery and after. https://obesitycontrolcenter.com/blog/2014/08/20/smoking-bariatric-surgery-can-i/ As far as starting again...I can't help you there. Sorry. Good luck.
  16. I was told to drink some protein after working out.

    terrible skin dryness....

    Yep...I experienced that. It sucked! I ended up using the lotion from the hospital they sent me home with (more like oily vaseline and hated how greasy my hands felt) but it seemed to work. I also increased my fluid intake.
  18. Some nice thick slipper socks. Hospitals are cold so those would help with that and also prevent you from slipping when they have you walk. Those hospital socks suck. (imo) I also brought a robe and wore over my hospital gown when walking. Luckily the IV is long enough for your sleeves and won't cause issues (for me anyway).

    Dumb question?

    OK so I don't have to worry about fluid intake before or after? Sent from my Y538 using the BariatricPal App I was instructed to drink my Protein shake 30 minutes after a meal or 30 minutes before a meal. But I can't even do that because I get full, so I always wait at least an hour before or after a meal to drink my protein
  20. I did not weigh myself until my 4 week post op appt, which I'm glad because I see several posts saying they had these stalls but I never saw it in my weight. I think it helped my mental and emotional state not knowing there was a stall. By the time I had my appt, my weight showed a 25 lb loss.

    Dumb question?

    My nut and surgeon both said it's considered a fluid.

    Meal ideas

    My husband made me pureed chicken lunch meat from the deli with mayo and mustard and it tasted like a sandwich.
