I had one in 2001. I was not overweight, but am small and after 2 wonderful babies, I had loose and wrinkled skin. I also had a breast implants (so it was your basic mommy makeover). Best thing I have ever done. Don't go to the cheapest surgeon. Do your homework so you don't get butchered. I know too many that have.…

Kidney stones...you have classic symptoms. Emergency room for meds to get you through the acute stage and follow up with your doctor. Unfortunately, I have extensive experience with this...I pass a stone 2 or 3 times a year.

After I stopped taking ambien several years ago, the only supplement combo that works for me is magnesium capsules and a supplement called Kavinace Ultra PM. I get it from Pure Formulas, but you may be able to find it somewhere else. It works. Has worked for me for almost 5 years now. Downside is the cost. One bottle lasts…

I struggled with this too. I have tried cutting out alcohol totally in the past and it just in not sustainable for me. This time around, I cut my intake to 1 cocktail a day. I log it. Since I preplan my food/drink a day in advance, it just make it part of the whole. On the rare occasion that I choose to have a second…

I will just "put my patient pants on" and keep doing what i am doing. except i will try…

I like a yogurt parfait on occasion too and I don't like plain yogurt normally, however, since I try to keep my net carbs below 20, I tried taking plain Siggi's full fat yogurt (1/2 cup) and add 1/4 cup fresh raspberries, 30 grams of walnuts, a splash of almond extract (or vanilla) and 2 packets of stevia in the raw. I…

Thanks for the replies. Glad to know I'm not crazy! I'm on day 12 and the last 2 days have actually been better. I've found that when I heat up, if I eat a cup of ice, it makes a huge difference. I didn't start having hot flashes until I was almost completely done with menopause and after I quit having periods (3 years…

first of all, i always try to use verified items on MFP. if i can't find a verified version for an item, i google it for nutrition and then look for one on MFP that matches up with what i find. secondly, i always plan my food out one day in advance. this helps me with shopping and also helps me to stick to it. if something…

I use coconut and olive oil to cook...staying away from butter. I eat eggs daily, but only whites. I take niacin daily, but that is the only thing I take specifically for the cholesterol. I try to keep my daily cholesterol intake to 100, but is hard to gt enough protein some days without going over that a bit. The exercise…
