Going through it right now. I just got through saying how I was ravenous today and can't seem to stop. Even though I've made good choicesI don't see anything wrong with the occasional treat. It's not like we PMS and gorge on fatty carbs everyday. Sometimes you gotta give your body what it ask for. And it's very true in my case, as soon as it goes off my stomach shrinks back to its tiny size. I guess that explains all the horrible cramping I now experience ;0(

I don't think you're overreacting. Your friend should have never said a word. I wouldn't hesitate to talk to both of them.

Way to go!!! You can tell the difference, you look great.

My surgery was March 20, 2012. I'm 5'6 1/2 and highest weight was 396. I'm now 298 (yay!!!) My surgeons goal for me is 233 (say what) my goal for myself is 175. I picked this number b/c I'm solid and carry my weight as such. Most people couldn't believe I weighed 400 pounds when I did cause I carried it pretty well. I do not want to be skinny, I want to hold on to the curves in my figure ;0)

I didn't qualify for FMLA but my job offered "medical leave". I was approved to take 6 weeks off where they protected my job. It was only allowed once your first year but then FMLA kicks in after that. I even received short term disability benefits. Check with HR and se if you have any other options.

Love the pics, congrats on your success!!!

You look great!!! Congratulations on your success.

I was sleeved March 20, 2012 after getting approval from Cigna. I know that they would have covered medically necessary reconstructive surgery but I just started a new job with new insurance. I now have UMR and was wondering if anyone has ever gone from one insurance carrier that approved and covered the sleeve to a different insurance company for the reconstructive surgery?

I couldn't stomach the chewable so my surgeon told me to take capsules. I can get them down ok but have to take them with food or else I'll get nauseous.

That's how I felt too like why would she even question the surgery. Thanks for your responding!!!

I heard that they tasted great but I'm still afraid to try them b/c they contain whey protein (I'm allergic). Please share your thoughts after you try them.

Congrats!!!

I have sipped a soda out of curiosity and I did not like how it felt going down. I am however hooked on the low calorie G2 Gatorade in orange. I put it in the freezer and let it get all slusshy...so good.

Congrats!!! You are doing great. I can't wait to get 125 down.

We've ruled all that out. Just wondering if it had any connection to the WLS....
