Topic: Don't eat the spinach
WASHINGTON (AP) - Consumers nationwide should not eat fresh bagged spinach, say health officials probing a multistate outbreak of E. coli that killed at least one person and made dozens of others sick.
Food and Drug Administration and state officials don't know the cause of the outbreak, although raw, packaged spinach appears likely. "We're advising people not to eat it," said Dr. David Acheson of the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition

Topic: Newbie!
Hi!
I just started the journey to my "birthday". I've been reading a lot on the OH site and trying to get as much information as possible on WLS. I had my first appointment yesterday with my PCM and requested the referrals. I was so prepared in case I got a hard time from the Dr., but he immediately started the referrals and there are a lot of them. Since I am TriCare Prime, there are certain "hoops" I must go through and I do understand that. The only really discourageing thing he mentioned was that if I get referred to Dr. Todd down in Anchorage he heard there was a three year wait due to the demand. I certainly hope that that isn't the case. Then again, I'm not sure they will even refer me to him. I really don't want to go out of state if I can help it, but I don't think there are any other Bariatric Surgeons practicing in Alaska that are acceptable to TriWest. I live in North Pole, but I'd be more than willing to travel to Anchorage. Anyway, I guess I just wanted to say Hi and officially join the group.

Just make sure you get your PROTEIN FIRST, get your water in and take your vits and don't forget your B-12. I take centrum chewables(2) and Trader Joe's sublingual B-12. I know I feel so much better when I remember my vitamins!! So good to hear from you!

WOW!!! I'm not into an 18 yet, but I'm working on it. YOU GO Girl! I'm really tired a lot though. Maybe low on protein or some kind of vitamin, or just not enough sleep...

Hi Sherry!!! That sounds great! I also had a stricture and had an endoscopy once and now I am great. I have lost 65#s. I am a slower losing, but I will take any loss slow or otherwise. You sound great, yeah early on chicken and meats are hard. I usually have a protein shake at least once a day because I don't get it all in my diet. I started at 283 and now weigh 218. I purchased a size 16 skirt from Old Navy yesterday. I was excited about that. Take care and keep up the great work.

Hi Sheila! I don't know why your emails are not coming through....I'll send you my other email. I am doing pretty good. I've lost 49 pounds in 2 months. I did have a stricture and had to have an endoscopy twice. I am still on soft foods but continue to try new things. Yes, chicken is the worst! I want veggies really bad but can't afford them as I don't get the full amount of protein in each day. I AM getting in my vitamins and water though.
How are you?

I email back and forth with her all the time. She had a stricture which she had dialated but other than that she's been doing really good. I haven't heard from her for the last couple days but when I do again I'll point her toward your post. I hope you're doing well.
