  1. With over a year out these days always scare me. I know it is because my period is coming! I gotta make sure these next few days I watch it!!!
  2. These past two days I have been feeling hungry!!! Must remember to get cucumbers the week before my period! I basically ate two dinners tonight! I also need the sugar free popsicles! 7 days of eating like this and I could totally see some weight gain. Today I probably ate 2000 calories easy! I Only had high calorie foods! What low calorie foods pack a good punch in terms of volume?
  3. It is weird but I find that taking a small sip or two of a drink keeps me full longer. So I eat less because I know I am going to have a sip of a drink.
  4. I am 35 and my neck has this weird thing going on but who cares! I feel I can see more lines but when I watch TV all the actresses have them so I am thinking it is normal!
  5. The doctors in DC are the most expensive in the entire country! Dr. Markmann wants like $19k for a Brazilian butt lift. That is just ridiculous. I have a consultation in September with a surgeon in VA. I told myself that I would not have surgery until I really gave good effort in working out. I really am going to start now. I finally feel ready...which ever since I have been taking vitamin D and b-12 I feel better. I was kind of in a funk, but I am ready ready ready! So I will see him for pricing, but wouldn't consider doing anything until January or February. I do feel like my body is changing but only time will tell. Then the whole $20k for plastics!! That just is overwhelming. I still owe $5k for the sleeve! I have to pay that by November soni don't get charged any interest. I just wish I had $50k to pay everything off & have plastics! Thigh lift, lower body lift, breast lift, Botox, and whatever else!!! Surprisingly I am totally fine with my arms.
  6. No regrets. I love watching at the people be stuffed after eating and I am just slightly full. I still have great restriction after a year and two months. My doctor's goal was 180, my goal was 170...I weigh 165 and I am still losing. I lost 4 pounds last month! I do not see it. I know I am waaaaaay thinner, but I still feel thick. I take pics...that is the way I notice. I hope to lose another 15, but where I am is pretty fabulous!
  7. I had no gas or nausea. I just had pain where the incisions were for 5 weeks. The pain was pretty bad for me. Guess I don't do well with them cutting through my muscle.
  8. I am on this site a lot. I lost a lot! I am pretty thin now. A lot of people struggle. At first I thought maybe those people who were struggling didn't make the first six months count because they were told to eat 1200 calories. I DO NOT advocate eating that many calories!!!! But besides the fact that I did not eat that many I looked at what other people say and in another way I differ from some people is that I would never sit around eating for an hour in order to get all my food down. I literally eat 10 bites of food...pretty quickly, and I stop. I feel satisfied and in two to three hours I am eating again, but again I eat a couple bites, quickly and then stop as soon as the hunger is gone. I also remember my nutritionist telling me to eat slowly, chew my food and that a meal might take a long time to get down. Just a theory that maybe you shouldn't eat for so long just to get your meal down. You can eat again later.
  9. Now that I am a year out...I eat. I just stop after a serving because that is enough to satisfy the craving.
  10. Maybe that is why I am 5'11" now! I swore I was 5'10"!!!
  11. Mine is still falling out. No regrowth. 1 year and two months out. Still losing too.
