Topic: RE: Why isnt the tracker updating
I go to MY OH - scroll down to Health Tracker and update the info there.
Then I refresh the page and it shows up. It can sometimes take a few minutes unless you refresh the page...Good luck

Topic: RE: Was your surgery a secret?
I told my mother - she was great and completely supportive.
I told my father - he is a Primary Care Physician and had WLS (RNY) 5 years ago.
That was it - no one from work or any friends. My brother kind of guessed and so did my sister, my sister is into OA and lives WW like some kind of cult, so she was against it. But I'm happy with my decision. After all - it's my business and my choice.

Jeff is pretty much a shoe in - all the judges and guest stars say he's got it.
Vick Vegas/Mo/Mamma's Boy will not end up without at least some guest appearances on Food Network.
I am just glad that that evil witch the "Mediterranean Mamma" is out. That back stabbing ho-bag turned my skin.
You never know....Susie Jimenez might just sneak in on top...Its all about money for the Food Network and Susie has a wider range of cuisine than sandwiches - and better boobs than Jeff.

Topic: RE: NEXIUM can kiss my butt!
So I have heartburn for the first time in my life after surgery. Not really bad but it's there. I go to my PCP this week and he calls in a script for Nexium.
I go to pick that up along with two other scripts, the pharmacy said that my insurance doesn't cover Nexium (all my other scripts are only 5.00). I said oh well how much is it for a month?
The pharmacist say's "that would be 229.00 dollars"......I was like What the **** Now I don't know how much Crack or Meth cost, but its got to less then that!
What the hell is IN this magic pill?
Does it make your penis sprout like a spring Zuchinni?
Make you irresitable to the opposite sex?
Can you crap a golden egg after taking it?....DAMN!
I told him I will pass, then he told me OTC prilosec is about the same exact thing.
Looks like Tums and generic Prilosec for me...JEEEEZ

Topic: RE: 3.5 months and 100lbs down!!!
So I got sleeved on 4/26/11 - and as many of you know I had complications and was in the hospital for 2.5 months. During that stay they fed me through an IV - a high calorie drip to help fight infections, and then a NT nose to stomach drip tube that was 1800 calories a day.
I have been out (from hospital prison) for less than a month and have been drinking 3 shakes a day and sometimes a little food. I really have no desire whatsoever to eat and put down my shakes, vitamins and fluid out of necessity. I have no idea how I lost weight while laying on my back in the ICU, but I did.
Best thing is I have officially lost 100 pounds since my sleeve date (I still have to name my sleeve). I may have had stalls but had no way to track them. All I know is that my sleeve is WORKING! I go back to work on September 1st and will probably have some explaining to do as I originally told my co-workers it was gall bladder surgery - they don't need to know my private business. By that time I may be down 110-120lbs.
I definitely need to raid my old slimmer clothes cache, and probably buy a lot of new **** on-line. All of my dress shirts are size 22-24 neck and look like a sail on my now.
Cheers OH friends!
Jason
Even will all the complications and the million dollar stay at the hospital I am glad I had the procedure done. After all, I am 100lbs down and cruising to hotness and the hospital stay is/was in the past......Just a bump in the road.

That's odd...I drink right before bed and during the night. I wake up a few times during the night and have my water next to me - then have a few drinks before laying back down.
I've never had any issues...I guess everyones different.

I hear you Rouxful,
I am down almost a hundred and I am still wearing some 6X sails/tents. I kept a lot of my clothes from my slimmer days - I just need to go through them.
Big and Tall joints are really exspensive, so I am just going to forage through my old stuff. Hopefully those size 36 501 button fly jeans I have had since the late 80's will be in my future.
Congrats on your success so far and good luck in future
