My willpower sucks!!!
That was what like 300 calories of NOTHING!! Just to waste those calories.... If you are going to snack and just have to then make it worth the calories. Put that reeses egg in the blender w a choc protein shake then it wont seem so bad. Skip the crackers cause they are NOTHING good...

How are you paying for your surgery?
Ok about Scentsy... If you look at my website it will be alot easier to explain, it's like candles but it Warmers that use a light bulb, the wax goes in the top of the warmer and melts. The wax never gets hot enough to burn anyone. We have 3 different size warmers with sooo many different styles. We have over 80 scents!! Also we have Scentsy Buddies.... They come with a Scent Pak. The scent pak looks like a little bean bag. They smell sooo good!! I have one of the scent paks doen in my purse and whenever i hand someone a catalog they say oo this smells so good. We also have Room Sprays, Scent Circles ( for your car), Travel Tins (purse etc) Fragrance Foams-- I love the fragrance foams!! They are alcohol-free foaming hand sanitizer. I have been selling Scentsy since November of 2009. If I had known about it before then I would have signed up sooner!! I have so much fun with it! It's a home party company but you do not have to get sales from home parties!! I usually only have home parties around the holiday seasons and then maybe like 1 or 2 a month on other months. You can also do Basket Parties-- thats where I get most of my sales. I take a scrapbooking bag and put a couple catalogs, order forms, and the scents and a few other things and give it to the hostess. she collects all the sales for like a week and then gives me back the basket. Now after the baske party I have sales and I havent worked all week You can also do online parties! There are just so many great ways to sell scentsy!! I really love it!!

Why don't people support me
Thank you for this post! It its the perfect way to start my day! I am very open and want to tell everyone what I am going to do, but I know I can't educate everyone... I go to the gym full of women who have never been over weight o or out of shape and they thing out should just fall off by exercising... I did lose 20 pounds since january but ghats only an average of 5 per monthand I can gain more than 5 in a weekend I am ready for my sleeve so I can show people how healthy I am going to get.

How are you paying for your surgery?
Has anyone here ever hear of Scentsy? I am trying to raise $$ for my vsg this summer. So I sell Scentsy and all of my commissions are going straight to my surgery fund. My house smells so good all the time now!! And I don't have to worry about my kids getting burned cause the wax in the warmers won't ever get hot enough to burn them. If you would like to know more info or if you would like to raise $$ for yourself check out my site! www.ashleyc.scentsy.us I can't wait to go see my surgeon on May 10th, less than 1 month now!! Then I get to figure out what all I need to do before getting my vsg!!

Rude Question, sorry
Thats not a rude question at all From what I have read on here from all the post-ops on here, burping is very normal. If you feel like its hurting more than normal or something like that then you should definitly call your doc office. Good Luck!
