Love covers all. She did her best. I applaud your mom for that. 😊 Day is good. It's been a long day actually. My knees are currently aching. Not sure why, but I'll be glad when most of this weight is off. I posted somewhere on bp, my 7 year old exclaimed that she didn't want me to get smaller, she loves me just as I am. Lol. As much as I appreciate and love her, I cannot stay the same. Of course my 4 year just repeats it. 😂 What did ya do today?

Are you in desktop? Mobile? App? The techs should be able to pinpoint exactly how if they know what you're using.

Awesome! Thank you hon.

I'm not too far off from you. I take multi's 2x, b12 sub, and 3 calcium chews too. I forget all the time, so I use the Round app. It's helped immensely. It pings when I'm due. I am grateful for that piece of technology!

Bone in is an absolute must!

Hi there!!! Welcome to the thread! 😊 No scale for me. The one I have is collecting dust. Lol. Oh wait, you talking about food scale? Yes, I did buy one. But I don't think I'll be using it till I'm good with getting food down first. Lol

I'm still so sorry. i don't want to get up all in your business, but I just wonder why she didn't do nothing when you were a teen. I'm just sorry about that. But, it's time to move forward, right? Nothing we can do about the past but make the best of everything and go forward!!! 😊

@Apple1 I really wish we were neighbors! Ha! That soup looks so good! I don't think I've ever made homemade chicken noodle soup. I've made chicken and dumplings (and not the store bought dough stuff--I like from scratch). I'm guessing that could be close enough to a broth, before I thicken the juices. Sounds so good now.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yay!

Thank you! I confess I zoned out for a couple of hours though. Lol

I love this!!!!! 😂😂😂😂

😂. Cute kid!!!! Who's that in your profile?

lol. I don't anyone really caught it. I had to go back and read it to see for myself. 😂

Yep. Hungry about 4-5 days post op too. Quite normal. Like others said, stick to your plans! 😊

Sounds like me. I was sleeved on the 15th. Started the bathroom trips on the 18th, part diarrhea and some solids together. (Sorry if tmi) I too got spasms especially afterwards. It seems to have died down somewhat, but I did have another episode this morning. I am just doing my best to make sure I've got water in. I've read others who've been through it too, so it can be normal. But your best bet is to call your doc is you're more concerned then I am. Lol. Blessings to you! Hope it goes away soon.

It sure is. I wonder if the millinneals would understand Kodak moment. Ha!

Duly noted!!!! Lol

I've got a 4, 7, and a 12 year old. All girls. They know that the doc had to fix my stomach so I can get healthier and in turn, I'll get smaller. My 7 year old exclaimed "Nooooooo, I don't want you to get that way. I love you the way you are now!" Awww. Lol.

Sooo I did have a drinkable yogurt. I turned around and my four year old has a yogurt mustache. She looks at me and smiles real big. I can't get mad...she's so cute!! Lol

That's awesome!!! I love it.

Ok. So the overnight oatmeal was a fail-taste/texture wise. Threw it out. Then I dipped a spoon in some unsweetened applesauce about three times. Just didn't care for it. Went to the grocery store and didn't want to buy anything to eat. So I bought drinkable yogurt. It's pretty good. I'm almost afraid, ALMOST but not really, that I won't ever chew again. I kind of like drinking everything. Haha!

Not cool. I'm sorry it happened. I'm more sorry that you have to drive 2 hours to get there!!!

I can only imagine most people who are overweight would think it's just fat. Maybe that's why it goes unnoticed so much.

Aww, I'm glad. And I'm glad your brother in law is now looking in to it too. Just wait until you've slimmed way down, I bet more will follow and/ask questions. See? You've made an impact already. I'm all fuzzy inside because of that. Lol

I actually zoned out for the last two hours of my work day. Lol. Yeah, I tell many people that I'm close to or an acquaintance with. Where I live, it was dubbed as one of the top ten cities of most overweight people. I'm sitting in my car now waiting to pick up my daughter and most everyone I see are overweight. I don't think we are the 1 in 3 nationally here. More like 2 out of 3. I am, and will be a WAS, one of them. I hope to help others if they're curious enough to ask questions further than me saying what I did. A good friend visited me this past weekend. She's overweight. We even worked out together trying to lose weight. She knew what I've decided and she's very excited for me. She also had tons of questions too. So I'm sure she's may have given it thought. And if she decides, I'll be right here for her. Another part of it is the majority of the culture here. Mostly Hispanic. Their diets are TERRIBLE! That's not speaking for all of them though. I married a Hispanic man, he was blessed with high metabolism. His family struggle with their weight as well. All those yummy tacos play a big part. Lol. My favorite are egg and bean tacos. I miss them. Lol And there's a restaurant everywhere you look, it's ridiculous. But if I can start a change through helping others with my story, then that's all that matters to me. Lower the risk of cancers significantly, diabetes, etc. that would be huge. I can't wait! 😊 And thank you for the compliment.
