well.....I think it's high time your hubby learns to cook:) I think he can probably figure out how to make a sub, I mean they hire high school students to work at subway right? I know about responsibilities to husband and yes they can be like babies at times, but he has to understand how hard it is for you to be cooking for him and try to do it for himself until you have passed some of your wls milestones, one of which is the actual surgery. Right now you have a regular sized tummy and you CAN eat, once you have your surgery you will crave different things and want to eat different things, sometimes I have no appetite at all and could cook up a storm and not be tempted to eat it. So, it is my humble opinion that hubby should support you a little bit more by cooking his own meals until you are psychologically able to do it for him......I hope that was not offensive:(

Yes this is all normal. the grumbling belly is most likely gas from the surgery or acid tummy. If you doc perscribed an anti acid then take it if not tell him/her about it and see if it's ok to take one. Mine prescribed it from the beginning so I never had issues with this. to get rid of the gas walk walk walk. The popsicle is liquid and liquids go down smooth and quick because they empty from the tummy quick. Once you start eating solid foods or mushies you will see the restriction. You are doing great! Keep it up!!!

I agree to eating more. The other day I ate like a pig and even posted something about emotional eating and thinking I would ruin my sleeve....I'm five pounds down :wink1: I didn't eat more at a setting or feel full I was just munching and munching and munching and when I hopped on the scale I was five pounds lighter... also, alot of people get caught up in the whole low carb thing and measure this and measure that but I stopped doing it after the 2nd month and when I did I started really losing GO figure!

Ok now don't eat!!!! Not yet anyway. You will see that this will be the most wonderful thing you EVER did for yourself. Congratulations! Welcome to our "losers" club!!!

I could drink milk straight away, however I did the vomit thing for the first 2 months. Eventually I could naturally gage when that last bite would take me over the edge and know to stop. I have not vomited in a great long while....almost 3 months.

ok, well I can say this. Do you remember when you were heavier and felt insecure? Ok ok ok not everyone who is heavy is insecure. Well, I sure was and I can tell you it ruined many a relationship because those guys just didn't get it. HOWEVER, if you were like me and felt insecure when you were heavy then you can empathize with him and related to how he feels. Reassurance is definately annoying but as you said, the guy was the greatest boyfriend and you saw a future with him. Give him some more reassurance and some more time to adjust to the new slimmer you....
also he loved you THEN and he loves you now. At least with him you know that he would not leave you for weight issues, you don't know that about the other guys. You know he's not shallow and just into you for looks, you don't know that about the other guys should you leave him over this and find someone new....just some food for thought, no pun intended.....

well, I have read that in some instances it actually increases depression, however when you are slimmer you can participate in MORE physical activities which could actually give you the natural high (endorphines) which could essentially boost your mood....that's just a guess:)

Slider foods are foods that just slide right down. Alot of people say carbs are sliders for them (they are for me too) and then there's ice cream, chocolate those slide right down. It's basically foods that slide down and can possibly do some damage to your weight loss....
-
Thanks guys. I already did the damage for today so I'm gonna just breath and tell myself "tomorrow is another day" and start again. I have not had an emotional eating day like this in forever....I am going to counceling it's group therepy and to help me with the emotional abuse of my marriage.....I just need to remember to breath and take one day at a time, not 15....

Going through a divorce, having just had my surgery three months ago, without a job and broke I just want to eat the fridge. Help! I'm afraid I'm going to screw everything up!

I meant I lost ten pounds the second week........you will do just fine, just keep following the doctors orders and stop weighing yourself. When you weight yourself over and over it only makes you feel bad and stressed and we all know what stress can do to us. Weight yourself in about 4 weeks. I know it will be hard to do but you just have to! It's for your sanity.
-
I tell anyone and everyone because I want to be an example for those people who want to have the surgery done but don't have the courage.

I had a sip of diet pepsi last week and it made me queesy.....I surely miss my diet dr peppers!
-
You are still swollen and retaining Water from the surgery. I didn't lose that much the first week, not even one pound....now the SECOND week!!! that was another thing. I lost 10 pounds in the first week!
-
Now you are making me want to go on a cruise!!!!! Sounds like a great vacation: eat what you want, have loads of fun doing fun and active activities AND you lost a pound.....sign me up!

The night before my surgery, at 3 AM I had the backout thoughts. I googled my doctors name and couldn't find him, I panicked! I didn't want to go through with it I had a huge issue......then I got over it, did it, lost 50 pounds am no longer obese which will cause me more problems down the line....so happy I did it.

I'm 31, soon to be 32 and I can't believe how fast my life has gone by....

They DID turn out yummy, but you have to wait unti they are completely cool, in a tin and in the fridge over night before they get nice and crispy.....I think next time I will use Stevia instead of the brown sugar. The brown sugar made it super super sweet.
-
I agree. I had so many people telling me omg are you nuts? Are you crazy this is NOT safe and my usual answer was "well neither is obesity"...I'm so happy I did the surgery. If anyone tells you not to do it....follow your heart and know that MANY people are successful at it.
An NSV at almost 15 months out? Wow... this is the life right here!
