  1. Being heavy really destroyed my knees and hips. Now they are getting closer and closer to being normal. I have now lost 158 lb and It took 480 days. That number 158 lb happens to be how much my lady friend weighs. So, 480 days ago my life was as if I carried her on my back day-in and day-out, 24 hours a day and seven days a week for all of the preceding years. That is very sobering!
  2. I can sit in a booth again and behind my steering wheel without rubbing my belly.
  3. Good Luck😀 Use a digital kitchen timer to drink liquids. Take a small sip every 4 minutes.
  4. I am also happy that I can climb a step ladder now to change a lightbulb. I live alone so I never turned on overhead lights. Oh, and get up off the floor.
  5. I developed a very strong aversion to Mrs Dash Lemon Pepper spice.
  6. If you want a morning hitch in your giddy-up and you don't want caffeine, try theobromine. It is the major stimulant in cacao beans that is used to make cocoa powder. Theobromine gives these benefits; mood booster, better sleep, breathe better, lowers blood pressure and improves cardiac health accorging to the National Institute of Health. I buy a product from Amazon.com called Fermented Cacao Nibs by Terrasoul. The nibs are broken pieces, easliy chewable, of cocoa beans before they are cooked at high temperatures which destroys the benefits. I put a teaspoon in my cereal in the morning. They have a strong chocolate taste without the sugar. Don't eat too much. Like any good thing, you can overdo it.

    Thanks Vikingbeast, I will look it over. I have already paid for premium mfp, though.

    Any March 2021 Sleeve Patients?

    March 18, 2021 surgery date. I am doing very well here in Cleveland Ohio. I just discovered this site. 😀
  9. My first dumping syndrome happened with raw green lettuce. Second with brussels sprouts, which I loved, but haven't touched since. And I never will !
  10. I have a funny one... I have lost 155 lb and have a lot of wrinkles. So, I bought some compression pants and shirt. I had to go to Home Depot to buy a few building supplies. I put my sweat pants on over my brand new compression clothes and was walking through the parking lot with an arm load of stuff. And.... My sweatpants fell down to my ankles. Hahaha, I was so embarrassed. Watch out for those slippery compression pants when your butt is flat as a pancake. 😂😂😂
  11. Now I can scratch that spot on my back that I could never reach. Ahhhaaaa........
