I like to watch Netflix while gyming lol, mostly during boring cardio. Then get super focused on the weight routine for a quick burst.

How much weight have you lost being delayed at stage 2 for so long?

Went to support group and someone asked again about carbs and apparently my group wants you to get 50% of your 1000 cals from carbs but no more. Thats around 125g carbs if I remember correctly. That's a lot of carbs someone said, and the NUT said not really They are leaning towards the Mediterranean type diet and allow flexibility. I have been getting like 70g and below , sometimes a little higher with alot of beans. I still don't think bread and grains as a regular occurrence is in my future. They just don't work well for me so I am limiting giving them up , mostly.

Sorry autocorrect is a nightmare for me lately... Roasted or toasted edamame that is prepackaged/premade. Otherwise I eat it raw in salad

Great list! I need to recommit to goal rewards... I keep losing my list 😒

You gonna be ok?

Best advice I can give is to use the search tool on the site and read alot of posts and threads about common questions ideas, etc. You see trends on what to buy, avoid, bring to the hospital etc. Life is different and the same. I found that people will now react differently to you depending on how they truly felt about you in the first place. However, you will ultimately most likely be the same person after surgery despite what you see in the mirror or on the scale. Safe Journey!

Why do you need to be at 800 cals? Is that the goal you were told to always meet? Ask your team for advice on how to reach it, if they set it.

Tell them if you don't display any obvious signs you'll skip that testing , if there develops a risk, you'll keep them posted. Honestly, they should be looking for the alternative. That's what medical training and degrees usually indicate their ability to do...

Yeah, I'm going to think about it for a while and see what kind of work around can be done. I like the idea of a challenge. IDK if I have the knowledge to run one though...

Thank you!!!!!

So I used to have this health plan too as I worked for the State as well, congrats it is great. No the application to the insurance company comes at the bitter end and it's usually what we are all nervously waiting for. You go through all the other appts to gather "proof" and submit as "evidence" then they make a ruling on your "case" I would ask what that flag was all about. It could be as simple as needing to get a new card, to there being a change in policy. You'll want to know ahead of time. If you are in a rush, tell them you have a time frame you want to have to the surgery in. You may have come off as not having a pressing deadline/urgent need because of the vacation. You can also absolutely contact the insurance company itself and find out the requirements that need to be met to qualify for coverage (ask for it in writing) Safe Journey!

The wound care aspect may be easier for this surgery than the breast reduction. It is hard but I'm sure he will be fine. He's an adult totally capable of caring for himself, or learning to... quickly Safe Journey!

Thanks for these studies as well And its completely untrue... You're apart of our coven now Thin witches LOL

Meh... Some people will say that they could have, I will say I couldn't have. How well/quick do you recover from the flu or major Illnesses, pain thresholds, age and current medical issues may be a slight indicators. But there is an element of chance that will shut all of that down. Can you do it during the semester break? That maybe more realistic...

Because they tend to have less calories and problematic types of fats. I'd double check with a doctor on fat content in maintenance.

1. With the sleeve you have to always be vigilant for the signs of GERD and act fast, 12 days, months or years down the road. 2. I drink at least 30oz before eating anything in the AM. Is a mixture of water, tea and coffee. Hydration goals are underrated. 3. Kept it a secret. I had very good reasons and still do but people want to know how I did it and I will tell strangers the truth if I think it will help them but say diet modifications to plain old nosey people. I feel deceptive, although technically it's the truth. 4. DRINK WATER. You skin will bounce back quicker. Detruction of brown adipose will happen faster. You will have more energy. Water (pure) is essential. Congratulations and safe journey!

Issa another Green Smoothie? Yup. Even bigger than before. Absolutely. Lol. In the past I would have gotten the coconut water base , insisted in mejool dates being added although there was already tons of fruit then topped it with agave syrup. Why? Sugar addict. Gave that up.make them at home with 1/8th the cals and very low sugar content. So this is a real before and after of lifestyle changes I've made even though I thought I was doing great before.

That must have felt amazing to shock them! You should totally start Catfishing people lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Doing a Meetup!!! No dating but still fun!

Someone told me I have long legs... Bihhh I'm 5' 3"!

Netflix and cocoa? Netflix and coffee? Netflix and cottage cheese? Netflix and cod... Lol eventually you'll still want live the life you love *watch Altered Carbon* and you will just with different foods around sometimes. There are Trivia nights at places that seem like A LOT of fun...
