Hi, mine was placed while I was sedated but removed when I was awake. With everything going on I didn't care that much about it honestly, but the removal was quick and pain less.

funny, friend is a weird way of spelling b.....

!!!!!Congrats!!!!!

Wow!

I will have to look into it. I was interested a while back but the small chamber size turned me away , I have teens and I would have to make batches and batches, so I took a hard pass. But I'm not in willing if the right one came around. thanks!!!

*know

No I still have not bought one but I don't think this is one of those things that would work in an air fryer, its loose ingredients . can you make falafel or meat balls in an air fryer? If so maybe it would work... Disclaimer: I pan fry foods, olive oil, grape seed oil, etc. I never intended to give that up, ever...

Good luck!

Did you make the cherries yourself?

I honesty don't work out a lot, i do walk some, but I have not made rigorous exercise the priority during the beginning stages of this journey. Exercise is mentioned and included as part of the program but there are tons of patients that for medical reasons just can't do a lot of it (me included) so diet is focused on more.

Salmon (Freshly poached/baked or pouched or canned salmon) hand mixed with various spices, a whole egg and binder of your choice (I use ground almonds, whole chia seed ,flax meal and kale) form into round Patty and pan fry med temp in 1/2 inch or less of oil until golden brown on both sides. Voilà.

The lighter I have gotten, the lighter my cycle has gotten. I don't know for sure if there is a direct connection but I believe so.

Can you postpone to think about it more instead of canceling ? To talk it over with the surgeon, your family and then decide? Chances are if you cancel now because of this without really thinking it through, you'll be at this same point 2 years later wishing you did it, especially if you need it being a revision.

Congrats, let the healing begin! Safe journey again!

How are you doing after surgery @saygrace?

It does work, I don't now why, but every month I revert to the beginning stages: liquids and soft foods for about two day and my restriction is very high again.

Damn... Sorry

.

It feels a lot like the old younger you but better rested, breathing easier and with extra energy no caffeine needed. You fit in the spaces you believe you should but previously didn't, like the regular bathroom stalls, getting in and out of cars happens in an instant and without lots of sound effects, and you don't have to constantly worry about being big and ALL it entails. Not obsessing over anything these days, happy to have gotten when I am so far, and where I land , I'll be happy there too.

Just keep trying or you will develop (or possible have) food aversion. Try try try. And jeep your team in the loop! Safe journey, sorry for the struggles

I going to vote stevia

Are you willing to join these before and after photos that showcase your diet? I started this thread because it focuses on something very positive and it has nothing to do with how a person looks.

It is hard emotionally if you are not exactly ready, but you have arrived. Only way is forward, and it does get better. You can do it, day by day you'll win every emotional battle that you are willing to fight. Stay Hydrated, read/paint/watch trash TV, stay busy, try to be positive but throw a pity party when you need to. You absolutely got this! Safe Journey!!!!
