You can add me- I'm May 18 for sleeve. Excited and nervous now.
-
You've done a great job. Good luck with your recovery next week.

Not exactly the same but I am finding as I prepare for surgery I avoid looking at the bakery and breads in the grocery store. And I am not thinking about snack foods as much. Switched to caffein-free soda and I think I am close to conquering my cravings for that.

Likewise, I am getting close now and have had the same thoughts. I have struggled to lose for 30 years now and it took 5 months to lose 18 pounds. I am certain that this is the only way I will be able to continue to lose and hopefully maintain that loss.

Best wishes for continued good health. Best NSV I ever saw.

Quest Cinnamon bun is good if you warm in the micro a few seconds.

Wow Rob. You look great. Quite an inspiration- your hard work has paid off.

I'm sorry your Mom will not be with you this Easter. It sounds like you have a good plan. And what a thoughtful post from Rob. Easter has always seemed like a time for fresh beginnings and renewed hope for the future. Sending you warm thoughts.

Incredible bad luck on the bank fraud. Good luck resolving it. Stay strong- Family can really wear you down. Excellent point!

Happy dance!!!

Overweight people can become thinner people but stupid people will always be stupid.

I believe with the Flintstones chewable you have to double the dose to get proper amounts.

Sorry, but I have to say I don't think alcohol is, in any way, a necessary part of life. If that is what you need to give up to be healthy then give it up. Just my opinion.

Do you have a nutritionist? I'm new to this but some have said slim fast (if it is like the one here in the states) has too much sugar. Hopefully someone with knowledge can give you better info. There are many bariatric websites where you can purchase protein powders and ready-to-drink products. Anyone in the UK know who…

Incredible! I only watched this show once and decided I didn't like their approach. It's all about money for the producers and the sponsors and preying on the desperate hopes of the severely obese.
-
I haven't had the surgery yet. Based on my friends you will be amazed at the differences soon. Good luck.
-
JreedyJanelle I expect to have to do a lot of work on that area and I know it is hard to tone. I too will probably save up but don't know if I will end up doing surgery for it. (Fingers crossed)
-
Yes toadqueen, thank you. This is my worry. I have seen some unfortunate results. I'm sorry you are not happy with your surgery. Moral: we shouldn't have allowed ourselves to become overweight so now we pay the price.

Lentil soup has more body to it and chili is pretty thick. I'm pre-surgery but my friend said they are advised to eat soup with a fork and treat the broth as a liquid, consuming it at a later time.

Leslie Sansone has some good low impact Walk Away the Pounds videos too. I have no advice here but want to say I have faith in you. You can do this. You have overcome much. You can overcome a bump in the road.

Thanks all, I did feel a bit as if I had been ambushed. I expected to have to explain my choice to the doctor but not weeks later to his staff. I will speak frankly with the NP next visit if I still feel resistance from her.
-
Oh, she backed off at the mention of the doctor and said of course, they would give me all the help and support needed. But I was so thrown by this incident and frustrated.
-
Gelato is a good alternative as only a tiny spoonful is very satisfying.
-
You look lovely. And a belt! I have avoided belts for years.
-
I had some of the same feelings just this week. Then I remembered the proven benefits of the surgery, especially for conditions like diabetes and hypertension. And then there is the fact that you and I will have medical support teams monitoring our progress, as well as support groups, and this forum full of great people. I…

Chicken seems to be one of the harder foods to eat for a lot of people. Two people I know are still having difficulty with it due to the dryness factor. Six months and twelve months out.

I just wanted to say I hope you have a peaceful holiday and find joy in good memories. I love the people on this site and think you've gotten some great advice. Good luck with the holidays. You've waited so long for this opportunity - you can do this.
-
Pawoodhull- Congratulations. That's good news. You've done well.

Biotin comes in different strengths. Hair,Skin and Nails Vitamins has 5000 mcg of Biotin.

Wow, Rob. You look so healthy! Great work.
