  1. I got mine under control via self-hypnosis in one day. If you haven't seen this tool, it's pure awesomeness: http://www.transparentcorp.com/products/np/
  2. Because they are like 15 cents vs. a can of broth is two dollars. thanks!
  3. Anyone know Dr. Nick's standard bougie size?
  4. I'm in the same boat. Doing fast food TWICE a day then pizza every Friday night. I need to come to grips with myself and my eating habits. Soon.
  5. Since magazines take like 3 months before they actually start arriving at the house, I figured I'd subscribe to something. Which magazines, guides or other material can help me out after I'm a "normal weight"? Right now I just buy whatever is on the clearance rack at the Big and Tall store. thanks!
  6. Thanks for the post man, gives me a lot of encouragement.
  7. WOW! You look so depressed in the first pic, but so happy in the second. I love the mood change, and how great you're looking!
  8. I had an attractive girl laughing and having fun last night, but she wouldn't touch me cause apparently I'm physically repulsive. I'll take all the pain/suffering that you endured, plus a kick in the crotch to lose 100lbs. No problemo. And I won't even complain about it. Just get this weight off...
  9. Nothing. My nutritionist qualifies for my "supervised exercise program", and all she did was ask me if I was working out.
  10. What was your fitness level before getting the sleeve? I'm curious if that makes a difference or not for weakness after surgery.
  11. The purpose of having your stomach cut out is to provide the opportunity for eating behavioral change. Scientific study or not, stuffing down five bags of chips doesn't help.
  12. Remind them that you're the paying customer, and to save the lecture for somebody else.
  13. LOL reminds me of the story of a friend, who ate junk food then decided to go jogging. About a mile out, middle of nowhere, he develops explosive diarrhea. Funniest story ever when he tells it, but did remind me never to eat poorly before heading out on a trip.
  14. Lookin' gooooooood! Keep up the great work!
  15. My dietitian told me that she was my "exercise therapist" and "behavioral therapist" as per the requirements. Doesn't make any sense, but they seem to know what they're doing.
  16. I only had 1. He had me fill out a big form, ran it through his scanner then told me all about my surgery. Didn't really ask me any questions.
  17. At least you can see yours now, without pulling back the belly! I look forward to that day ...
  18. Canada to Mexico - how long is that flight?
  19. Wow, you look like a different person. Totally different person. Grats!
  20. Tell your hubby he's doing great too, that's some noticeable weight loss.
  21. Wow. Just wow ... I looked at your original video, and the one today. Looks like a totally different woman!
  22. This is nuts, some person came to a famous WLS YouTuber's house and went crazy: [nomedia=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHcKd2de-H0]YouTube - Update - Medical Problems - Part 1 of 2[/nomedia]
