Oh yeah, you have to pass some language classes here too even just to get permanent residency but it's easy peasy, at least I thought so. I just gave up on sounding perfect, my husband tells me my Norwegian accent/sentence structure is really charming so I just take his word for it and press on. I feel like if people…

Thank you! I love the exemption that's allowed me to apply so soon. Live in Norway for 3 & 1/2 years and be married to a Norwegian for the same amount of time and they count it as 7 years. I'm really looking forward to visiting family in the US with a new red passport and hopefully out of the obese category, 24ish pounds…

I wish the weather was nice here, especially since it's May 17th soon! Yesterday I got caught out in the hail with my son and today it's raining. So exciting about your permanent residency, I was relieved of a lot of stress when I finally got mine.

Feel free to add me too! I've been living in Norway now for a little over 4 years. (Waiting on my citizenship papers now, woohoo!) I don't follow anything, I eat what I want so long as it fits into my calorie allowance and sometimes eat it anyway when it doesn't.

Was there gold hidden in the village? Silver, gems?

My last scan was at 32 weeks and he was almost 1800g, 4lbs. Edit: I don't know about scans in the United States but here in Norway you normally only get two, one early for dating and then the anatomy scan. I've been getting one each month since my anatomy scan just to make sure he's growing properly since I had weight loss…

We do this with cod but it might work with other white fish. A dollop of sour cream and crumbled bacon on top.

No. Where I live, corporal punishment is prohibited in schools and the home. (Established 1987) Based on how the country is running, you don't need to spank your children to raise them well.

My nutritionist recommended against the glucose drink so instead I have to finger test once after waking up and then an hour after my breakfast for five days. So far my numbers have been Tuesday: 3.6-5.9, pancakes with butter, strawberries and milk Wednesday: 3.9-6.4, oat cereal with milk and strawberries Thursday:…

I'll be grateful for this opposite reaction. Mine were every 26-28 days after surgery, normal flow, normal everything. I still wonder sometimes if they just made some little cuts on me and gave me a placebo surgery.
-
After starving through 14 & 1/2 hours, 6 of them I was awake for, they told me I need to talk to my nutritionist before I take the test. So, I guess we'll see what she says on the 17th then. >.<

Blah blah, excuses, blah, eating too soon, death from not chewing, complications, etc. Everyone is different, every surgery is different, listen to your doctors. You won't ever get away from people judging you, it's just what people do. I had RNY gastric bypass May 2nd 2012, I was on a semi-liquid diet for 2 weeks before,…

I think you could do this with salmon chowder. It's fairly low calorie with lots of those healthy fish fats then at the end your friend could add some extra cheese and a bit of sour cream, even crumbled bacon if you decided to use torsk instead. It tastes just lovely without all those fixings too though. You could also…

Daily I eat about 1900 calories. The morning the ketones were measured I had only been awake for 30 minutes before I was on my way to the hospital, one hour drive, and had only eaten about 5 rice cakes so maybe that was why. I'm really curious how things will turn out Monday but it's reassuring to hear that leaking some…

Norway here, feel free to add me! =)

My super boring but awesome breakfast suggestion; steamed broccoli with cheese sauce on top, mine was 151 calories this morning.
-
I'm 21 months out and I can and do eat anything/everything.

Try not to focus on how far you have to go but how far you have come already! =)
-
I don't know how crafty you are but I've been thinking about knitting a few of these up and then sewing in some absorbent fabric, maybe some cheap matching washcloths? I think it'll be a quick project and then I can still look "stylish" while melting like a wicked witch.…

My scale goal is that I would really like to get to my "normal" range by the end of this year. As far as fitness, I'm also starting strength training just as soon as the baby makes his way out. My husband promised me a home gym to go with my treadmill. I might get it sooner than expected though and if the doctor clears me…
-
Heck yeah, shorties united! Thanks so much! For the first time ever I'm not hating my belly getting bigger, it bumps into the treadmill occasionally though and that's pretty annoying because then he starts kicking back.

Simple dessert, just some chocolate ice cream. =)

Just wanted to say that your shoulder width is determined by your clavicle bone, if you're an adult, your shoulders are as broad as they are getting. If you want them to appear smaller, get rid of that excess arm fat, lift weights to keep toned. Or you can eat lots and hope your waist gets bigger, then no one will notice…

I think it's fun and I like that I can be not so graceful in my living room and no one can see except my ever judging guinea pigs.

28 weeks/3 days here; feel free to add me! =)

When I fold my laundry I do squats and standing calf raises so I go ahead and record that at half the time I actually did it. You could try to incorporate some static yoga poses into your food prep!

Hello! I had RNY on May 2nd, 2012, my highest weight was 316lbs and right now I'm hovering between 204/5/6; I'm 5'2. When I got to 211lbs I finally met the BMI requirement for fertility medication so I started taking Clomid and on the 2nd round, after many years of trying we're finally pregnant. This was 1 year, 3 months…

We're surrounded by yummy fish all the time, some of our favourite eats are... Salmon, raw, made into chowder, grilled/baked/fried, served with veggies, boiled potatoes and sauce. Torsk... Cod? ... grilled/baked/fried and served with crispy bacon pieces on top, fish sauce, veggies and boiled potatoes. Mackerel,…
