FANTASTIC!!! SO proud of you, that's amazing.

Thanks StinkerBelle for the heads up I just ordered each Pb2 flavor from them, or Netrition.com to be exact; because bellplantation.com would only let me order 4-6.5 oz jars of each flavor which is way too much for me since I've not tried it yet. I got each 6.5 oz jar of the powdered pb2 for...

Pb is peanut butter and j is jelly. The Pb2 can be found at the store on this site and is currently on sale. Which reminds me I better stock up while I can. Thanks for the reminder Ralph, you're always such a big help. ;)

Try different brands of gum to find the texture that satisfys most. Realize that after surgery you shouldn't chew gum for a couple of months because your tummy is so small and inflamed from the surgery that every millimeter of space needs to be dedicated to protein and fluids. The reason you...

I walk everyday for about 30 minutes and then I do Zumba one day and weight watchers belly,butt and thighs DVD. I'm looking for a good kick boxing DVD to mix it up and get the aggravation and frustration out. I had one on video by Billy Blanks I think years ago and loved it. I also have...

When is your surgery date? Is your surgery the same as the gastric bypass?

Can you chew gum? Good luck and Congratulations! Keep us posted were here for you.

LauraLeigh you are amazing, you know exactly how much of a favor this woman did for you. She provoked the eating daemon in you, you saw it and you took the opportunity to defeat that daemon! I'm so proud of your insight and how you overcame the many many years of conditioned response. This...

I'm not sure why your doc wants you to wait that long, did you ask? I know I have trouble sometimes waiting 30 minutes. My Nut (nutritionist) said 20-30 min. I'm at 14 weeks now and will take a sip of tea or water when I'm thirsty regardless. If I just take a small sip and then wait about 5...

Which fit it did you get? Was it hard to get it set up? How would you rate it so far. I'm thinking about getting the Flex but I'm not that tech savvy. I find Calorie Count difficult to use so if you know this site maybe you could give me a comparison. Right now I use Calorie King and pencil &...

Thanks it was an interesting article. Seems like it would be a handy site to reference too. I bookmarked it.

Good golly you are a real trouper. I'm so sorry this has been such an ordeal for you. You seem to have an excellent sense of humor and commitment to your health. Hang in there we are all pulling for you.

How are you doing TillieS? I hope everything went well and you are resting up right now. Let us know how you are when you're up to it. Best wishes, kt

How are you doing TillyS?

This is so awesome Ralph. You and your wife are an inspiration for us all. You both are living the good life. Congratulations.

You'll know when you are full. If after eating a couple of bites wait for 3-5 minutes and then eat a couple more bites. I was like you afraid of getting sick, which I did anyway, so I just graze. I set up food that I can nibble during the day and then eat a tiny bit. I would get nauseous and...

I'm so excited for you, it'll be here soon. Good luck with your surgery and happy recovery. You're still my surgery buddy, right? Hugs and best wishes, kt

Personally I agree with Ralph and Fantastic...I brought a lot of stuff, but only used the lotion, lip balm, hair brush and toothbrush and paste. I didn't want to bring bedding especially my pillow, because I forgot my pillow once before when I was in the hospital and was really bummed when I now...

Sue-T. Congratulations on TWO life changing and hard earned scenarios this year. This must be overwhelmingly wonderful and scary too. I'm curious, since you are an admitted workaholic, what is "adequate time off" mean in actual time? I just turned 62 last Saturday and I can say its taken me all...

Hi StinkerBelle. I'm so happy to hear you're through with that gallbladder and resting well after the surgery. The hospital gave me a blanket like the gown you are talking about and later in my room the added a mattress pad like that too, sort of a sleep number heated pad. They were wonderfully...
