OP, did you mean to ask what people were eating at Your stage? Because I know I wasn't allowed to eat a lot of these suggestions at less than 1 1/2 months out! Just wondering :smile:

Congrats OP! I understand how you feel...I was also not allowed anything till that test could be done the day after surgery. Sometime in the very early hrs of that morning I was asking to brush my teeth just to wet my tongue...lol!

Finally, someone close(r) to my height....4'2 here! My Dr said a "healthy" weight would be 100 but Id like to be around 90 for fluctuation purposes...so I don't freak out so much should I gain a lb or 2 while on vacation or whatnot. I guess Ill just have to wait and see where my body takes me to as I still have more to…

This is what I was going to suggest. If there are exercises that the instructor is doing that youre not able, just modify it! Doing something is always better than nothing :wink: I don't have a gym close enough and theres no way Im getting out in this snow to go walk! We do have a pool at the HS but its only open for about…

Look up chair exercises and modify anything the instructor is doing to meet your needs. For example, if theyre doing a high intensity exercise you can either do the same just going slower or do a different exercise still using that body part!

There are chair exercises you can look up! You don't have to do each 1 exactly their way, modify it to what youre able to do. For example, if theyre doing something strenuous w/ their legs, do something different like small air circles. Change them up so you still get the full benefits, just in a way that's comfortable for…

I was flipping through the channels 1 evening and caught sight of that. At 1st I was like "no she didn't", then I found myself gagging while watching her!

I found Whitney to be quite annoying so I didn't spend too much time on that show. Someone of her age w/ a degree, resorting to moving back in w/ her aged parents who doesn't bother herself to clean, whether it be her room or car AND having to be reprimanded for it...sheesh! Even her brother had to intervene and tell her…

Last weeks episode was just as sad... http://www.examiner.com/article/my-600-lb-life-takes-viewers-on-pauline-s-story-on-tlc Try as he might, the surgeon did everything to help Pauline but eventually just had to let her be :neutral_face:

Plateau's are a bummer but it sounds like you broke through yours, which is great!

Hmmm...this is a new 1 for me, haven't heard of them before. Whats the taste difference from the standard? Has anyone tried blood oranges....that's something I started noticing w/in the last month or so. I haven't tried them yet!

Wow, sounds interesting! Whats the nutrition info...cals, protein etc, they sound good!

Yeah, when Id go to restaurants most places would automatically add a lemon wedges. When I found out about this, I started making it a routine to let them know "ice water, with no lemon please!" Besides, you don't know if the lemon was prewashed before being sliced so that helped me overcome my desire to have it in my…

95lbs at your height :confused: ? Im 4'2 and that's what Im working towards!

I would love shopping w/ your wife...deals are awesome!!

[quote="Have an awesome day/evening! Adam[/quote] I thought this was so sweet of you to end your msg to OP this way, what a guy!

There are several new WLS people that I reached out to from the main forum and gave them links to these groups. I have yet to have Any of them tell me they didn't appreciate this thoughtful gesture! When I was new to MFP, I didn't know how to find things or where to find them. After entering into these groups, I know that…

Umm no, this was my 1 PM to you... "Just to let you know, the thread you posted....theres 1 that's already up and running! You just have to look for it :) " IDK how that could be misunderstood or even taken in a wrong way. It takes time for people to post so for you to ask everyone to re-post their replies because you…

As I kindly pointed out and even found the thread for you, these are people that have told their stories so I thought you might want to read up on them. If you look, a lot of these are very much active people on here! I also explained in a private msg that there is a current 1 that I took part in that's more recent. Sorry…

I know theres another thread but this is the 1st 1 that came to mind... http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1378967/how-did-you-tell-everyone-about-the-surgery#latest Hope this helps!

I wasn't able to chew gum for about the 1st month or so. I would have a bad build up saliva similar to when you get that nausea feeling. Whether the Dr had allowed it or not, initially I just wasn't able to. I believe I was finally able to at about 1 1/2-2 months (Im 4 months now). Gum freshens my breath, keeps the saliva…

So good to hear :smile:

For me, had the store been empty I probably would not have cringed at her loudness and I probably would've just laughed it off but because she went on and went even further by using her finger to point out the areas is what got me. These girls are actually beautiful and fit and they know it :neutral_face: As far as myself,…

Yeah, that's me too. It just depends on the protein source!

If you ask, youre going to get opinions...good, bad or indifferent. I ate Mexican food Fri night and after eating some meat, I had a couple bites of rice and that was enough for me (4 months out). In the past I could've eaten mine and then some but a couple bites was just as satisfying as the whole thing used to be!

I wasn't even drinking this much before surgery let alone now! I'm doing good if I can get a (small) portion of your 24oz in that amount of time :disappointed:

I see this Infomercial ALL the time... http://www.wen.com/?grcid=t4-wwcofferpnlc

My husband & I went out Fri night and since we don't have an actual "mall" around our area, this was fun for me to go out to this 1. We'd gotten to know some girls at a particular store and since we hadn't seen them for quite awhile, I thought "why not stop in." When she caught sight of me she looked me up and down and…
