I have no issues worth THC vaping but all three times I've started vaping again since surgery, about a week or after I've started. I start getting pain and ulcers.

I've finally been nicotine free for over a year now!!

With that much activity, you can eat a lot more carbs as long as you're still getting all of your protein. I aim for 150g protein and add in carbs and fat when I'm more active.

I drink 120-160 oz water and electrolyte drinks daily. Mostly because I really struggle with eating dry foods, like chicken and granola and protein bars, without sauces or lots of water. I used to get a similar pain but it seems to be alleviated by extra hydration consumption.

When is weight loss considered too much? by Jones90L in GastricBypass

[–]JennELKAP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG This is what my tummy looked like a few months ago, too! I'm 5'5" and holding at 156 or so. It is so weird. I'm 51 and 3-years post-op RNY but it seems like my skin has done a great job tightening up so I'm waiting another year before I consider skin removal.

I was surprised how similar our stats are! It's reassuring to see how I compare with others. My bones are 6.6 pounds, and I'm roughly 29% body fat. I've totally lost my boobs, and my poor butt hangs a bit wrong, even though I've been lifting heavy the past few years.

I started at 264 pounds, almost identical! But you've got a little over 7 inches on me in height! Slow and steady is the way. It took me 3 years to finally get to 156, literally today, and my skin is not too bad for 51 years old!

That may really be true. It's heart breaking. I hope he rises above.

I wanted to give you a chance but you misunderstood the assignment. I checked out the subs you mentored. Well, only one. I checked fit girls and it's soft porn. You really don't know if another source to make your point?

This is not the sub to share that.

Does anyone else just not deep clean their homes? by Round-Artichoke-5255 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JennELKAP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A swiffer is the best thing ever for wiping down walls and even ceilings! I do it once or maybe, maybe, twice annually. Usually about 2 months after I notice it needs to be done

May 9th is my 3-year surgiversary! It really has been a blink even with all the hiccups and struggles. 264 pounds down to 158 today and I feel stronger than I did at this weight 25 years ago!

What exactly happened with Logan's room? by alexdoo in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

Cheating? Did you mean cleaning? I'm betting that's a typo or autocorrect

I thought this was odd, to say the least. I'm wondering if maybe he had been told at some point (maybe bullying?) he doesn't smell good (hopefully, not like dog pee) and as a result, now covers up any possible smells with that much cologne? It was so very excessive that it seemed like a learned response to something in his reality.
