Ms skinniness

Susan, I have reread my post and I owe you an apology.....I over reacted to my post being deleted and there was no explanation for the deletion. That is not my finest moment here......I understand the reason after your explanation in the first paragraph. I hope you can accept my humble apology.......Namaste

It's best not to buy the quest bars... they are like crack..... I have to use up my supply and not order anymore..... oh and the pure protein bars at Costco are the same, I had to stop buying them also... I like the plan of eating chicken and veggies. i will have that my next fasting day...which will be friday instead of thursday....

You have a really great support system.......The month will pass by really fast and the kids can sit on your lap and still be with you....You can do this!

Laura your totally right.....but I do find that to be a controlling issue for her...... Where's OTR? Miss him, he was very funny and playful......Now that we put it that way, then why are newbies posting on the veteran's forum? food for thought.... Hey guys sorry to interrupt your conversation.........I do love studded condoms though!

Hummmmm, did I say something wrong? was it offensive? this is a little confusing to me......

which surgery do you have? Are you gastric bypass or vertical sleeve? I get a little confused when I hear pouch.... OOPs, i should of read all the posts before posting. you are having this experience.

I would go see your PCP for this. People that are sleeved in Mexico can see their PCP here is the states for follow up. May be really important to have them run some lab tests for vitamin levels etc.

That's a great NSV! Time to buy new undies......

I would be very pissed off too..... Glad you're back on track to a healthier life style.....

I was just open with everyone where I worked bc i knew that it would be so noticeable and that i wouldn't feel right explaining to they later why I didn't tell them. It made things a whole lot easier for me. It was the right decision for me. I didn't care if others thought that I was a failure at weight loss bc I know that i wasn't. I'm just thankful I was able to have this life changing procedure to a healthier life style....

At 4 weeks out it's pretty hard to get in all the protein requirements. Focus on eating proteins first and some veggies if possible. You are going to have times where the scale just stands still and doesn't move and during this process, your body will be losing inches too. Do the best you can and sit back and enjoy your new journey. It will happen.

What a beautiful transformation! Keep it up you look really good!

Hey everyone, I am so excited..... I lost 3 lbs and feeling great...... It is hard to do the fasting thing, but I did it. Had a bit more than 500 calories though, more like 600..... But it still worked unless it was water weight..... I did drink a lot of water bc I was totally hungry..... Today is a day I can eat healthy choices too....

Yayyyy! Hopefully u have begun ur recovery and all is well. Welcome to the Big Loser's club!

You are looking hot and sexier than ever! Keep Rockin that sleeve.

I regret not doing this...... So I hope you all do this...... Oh BTW when do we get to see those pics ladies.

Today is my fasting day. I've had a Quest bar for breakfast and a chobani yogurt with whipped cream for lunch. I will have soup for dinner......I hope this works to get rid of at least 2 lbs......I just realized I had gained 7 lbs and that's just not acceptable to me. So fasting it is.....

This is funny. I use a bread plate that's pretty small and leave it when I'm full. My husband also thought it was his duty to clean my plate and had gained weight from it. Now he has changed his eating habits totally. He doesn't eat breads, pasta, potatoes, or anything with corn in it. He now tells me he is also stops when he feels full. My daughter does this too. Stops instead of cleaning her plate. It is hard to change this ingrained habit but can be accomplished. I like throwing food out too when it's in the refrigerator. Who needs it, not I nor my spouse. I love not being married to the "clean your plate."

Being scared is normal. This is reality now and it's scheduled. you will be going through a lot of emotions and the end result is always worth it! CONGRATS!

You have most likely been approved! Congrats on your new journey to a healthier life style.....

I bought this but have never tried it. Think I will try it on a non fasting day...... Today is my fasting day...... I have 8 lbs to get off now......

Isn't MOM given as a laxative. This is causing you to have diarrhea. Yes you can have a protein shake without any problems. Hope your diarrhea goes away...

Some people experience that when the food contains too much sugar and fats or eat just a little bit too much. It's a sign that your body doesn't like what you just put in it. Can you share what you ate.... I read all labels and don't eat anything that has sugar or corn in it.....

I don't like processed foods so I try to eat organic and full fat. The less ingredients the food item has, the better and healthier. The only processed foods I eat are protein shakes and quest bars. The quest bars are very addicting for me so I am cutting them out of my diet.......
