Currently reading A Poison Dark And Drowning by Jessica Cluess. It's quite amazing.

National Lampoon's Family Vacation

I'm always thirsty so I drink as much as I can get in.

Thank you all! I'm glad to be back!

I can't handle carbs, either. Before I got sick, I was amazing with my weight loss. After I got sick, I was instructed to eat whatever I could keep down. I got addicted to sugar again and am working on this problem but I have gained a good amount of weight back. Not all of it, but some. I am also going to look into this…

I hit Onederland this morning! 199.0! This is freaking awesome. I can't believe how much my illness was holding me back.

We did the paracentesis last night at about 6:30 and there was about nine lbs of fluid removed. The radiologist said there's still more that needs to be removed but first we need to find out what it is and see if we can get it out without putting another huge needle in my belly. This whole thing is crazy. I feel like it…

Okay, so my surgeon finally got everyone to listen up and they did an ultrasound yesterday as well as some labs and they found that I have severe ascites as well as a strep infection of the heart. Right now I am waiting to get a ct done so they can find out where the fluid coming from. I am so ready for this to be over…

I forgot to mention, I don't have a gallbladder so it's not that. Thanks!

This right here --> Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm---is one of the most brilliant things I've ever read. I have a real problem with trying to be a people pleaser and I've been working hard to get over it. I needed that today! Thaeda, you are awesome and honest and useful (which is useful :wink: ) and I am…

I went from a size nine to a seven and a half and I'm only eight months out. I'm having a hard time with all of my old shoes that are too expensive to let go of quite yet. My feet slip and slide all around the inside of em. I'm gonna have to do something different pretty soon.

You can add me too, my food choices aren't the best but I do what I can

I'm reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I loved the movie but the book isn't moving fast enough for me :(

I have lupus with liver and CNS involvement as well as the regular joint stuff. Feel free to add me!

My daughter (age 9) is a big fan of peanut butter, ham, and imitation crab sandwiches. She made it up herself when she was three.

[/quote] Agreed. This advice matches what I was told by my team. You are going to have trouble getting in enough protein and calories to begin with, and you won't have enough belly volume to accomodate raw veggies. Honestly, I am 6 months post-op, and I eat very few raw veggies at this point. [/quote] I am seven month…

I gotta say this.....we went out last night to a different restaurant than we usually go to because our usual one is closed until after Christmas for maintenance. My husband and I usually share but this time he got something that I couldn't eat and I actually resented him for it! Very interesting to me because we have not…

Lucerne makes the one I get and it comes in Vanilla Bean. Mmmmmmm. I just looked on google and it said that Breyer's, Edy's, and Blue Bunny all make a low carb ice cream as well. The Breyer's picture is in chocolate....I might have to look around for that one.

That is an interesting thought, I wonder if they do.......

Why can't they just make a box that we can check so that the website knows that we are bariatric surgery patients and then it or we can make the adjustments as needed? Seems like a convoluted process for a simple solution. They must work for the same company I work for!

I eat low carb ice cream quite often. I only have one tablespoon sized scoop at a time though. The low carb ice cream is surprisingly delicious.

That's it for me, too. I have finally figured out that food isn't evil or out to get me and that if I just pay attention to how things taste or how my stomach is feeling, I eat so much less and I FEEL satisfied when I decide I've had enough. I don't feel guilty anymore for eating "bad" things. I don't feel ashamed that I…

I already told you what I think :D but I am surprised that your dietician is wanting that many carbs. Mine said less than 30 grams a day. I do know that everyone's program is different though, it's just interesting to see exactly how different they are. Are you supposed to get your carbs from fruit and veggies or are you…

Glory and Gore by Lorde

I've only lost 67 lbs but I know how you guys feel. In pictures there is a huge difference but when I look in the mirror, I look exactly the same as I did when I spent my days telling myself what a fat slob I was and wondering why I couldn't get my crap together well enough to lose something, anything!! I have to work…

What she said! He cannot ask for medical information, period. As for telling people, everyone in the hospital I work in knows that I had it done. Most are very supportive and the ones who aren't don't have the balls to say anything. I'm with Garber and jm1fullerton, I want to help rid the world of the WLS stigma.

I wouldn't even drink milk at gunpoint, they'd have to shoot me and force it into my unconscious body lol. I have a serious lactose intolerance and that just ain't happening. I agree with everyone else, call your surgeon and ask WTH? Maybe not exactly those words, but it's a good subliminal message :) Good luck!

Did Arnold actually learn how to fight though? Statham is fast....and strong....I'm gonna have to go with Statham, mostly because of the hotness lol. Arnold really didn't do a lot of fighting without an uzi!
