Ms skinniness

I too am running really scared. Yesterday I was eating even when I wasn't hungry and I could not stop myself. Those old eating habit hit me. Today I will do a protein day. I am so tired of all these programs that claim they will help us lose weight. Now I'm reading about how Leptin Hormones effect our metabolism too. I get periodicals from Josh & Joel of Biotrust. I posted a little about it on this site somewhere. It talks about how to get your Leptin Hormones up. Then at the end, they're trying to sell you a supplement. So i don't know anymore, but I am tired of this up and down syndrome that my body is doing to me. So I have almost given up. I do end up getting back on track the next day. Today i will be eating nothing but the basics of protein.

My surgeon's told me not to drink any kind of carbonated drinks. I did accidentally take a drink of a sparkling water and was so surprised that I spit it out..... You can wait until it gets flat though.............

It will happen, they will notify and the worst is that they will decline and your surgeon will appeal it and get an approval on it. Yes this is totally anxiety provoking too......

this is absolutely the hardest part right here. Can you try a different protein shake. I love the Premier chocolate protein drinks from Costco. Other ones I'm not to crazy about.........This will pass soon and you will be ok.

I hope that you do go through with it........ Hang in there, this is a life changing procedure.......

I can totally eat anything i want. Now a days I am eating more than before so I make sure I keep it proteins and very little carbs....

I love pure protein bars at Costco and I also love quest protein bars. I order the quest on the internet from quest and they arrive the next day. So yummy......

It's time to get yourself to see a psychiatrist for some antidepressants to help with your depression. This is a long term depression and you need something to help balance your chemical inbalance. No shame, no guilt, just a different path to success and a happy life style. you are so young a beautiful and now it's time to start to enjoy life. Let me know how your doing when you follow through. Food is not your friend, you need it to survive....

I am in such a funk I am eating so much sh**! Even though it's Protein, I am way full and have this horrible urge to stick more food in my stomach.........I will have just a Protein Drink for dinner tonight.... Ugghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........

I am totally feeling the same way too. I feel so fat today......The scale goes down and then it goes back up. Blaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Now I posted above about Leptin. It's like what have I done to my body? wow......You my dear are rocking in my world.........I guess we will have days like this......I can't wait until I see your new pics with that beautiful TT....... I tell myself one day I'm ok where I'm at and the next I'm so down because my weight is not staying the same. Oh and I can really eat now......It is so scary for me...... I am so lucky to have such a wonderful understanding friend across the pond......... I didn't mean to vent.....

Today I was reading about how Leptin Hormones effect our weight loss. When we eat way less calories, or Leptin levels go down and it causes us to go into starvation mode....weight loss slows or stops. The registered dietician recommends that we have a cheat day 1 day per week increasing our calories up by 1000. Humm I can barely get in 1300 without feeling like I'm pigging out. Then he recommends that on alternate days we increase our carbs up by an additional 20%. He saids that this will bring our Leptin levels up to. He had a 3rd stop buy I can't remember what that was. Then at the end he was trying to sell a supplement that was suppose to help raise our Leptin levels. Quite expensive and not sure if it is a gimmick or not. So I am going to research Leptin and how to increase our Leptin levels too. Here I was so happy we had our ghreline taken out. Who knew. Gotta lot of research to do here.... :)Hey this is what i have found:http://www.wellnessresources.com/Leptin_Diet.php?source=msn

Wow, looking good! Keep it up!

I so hate my bat wings...... Maybe I'll look into plastics, but I think my face will be first on the list......

My new addiction is educating people on eating less foods that are more nutritious....... My children are getting so annoyed with me, but they are learning too! \ My husband was reading a book on wheat belly and the book told him he can eat as much as he wanted so he choose to believe the book..... Low and behold his pant are getting too tight. That was his wakeup call, so now he's limiting his portion sizes...... Yayyyyyyyyyyyy! \

I practiced being thankful for my sleeve and reminded myself that I would be able to eat soft purée food soon. I kept my self very busy. This will pass soon enough and u are on ur way to need health and the wonderful side effect of being skinny!

I have gotten a personal invite and am disgusted with it. I hate people trying to push things on me. This is a support group not a place to have stuff pushed on me.

I'm absolutely positive. I've received an email from her and she was trying to get fraudulent funds from me. I don't like it when people try to deceive me this way......So she is a troll Oh and I have reported her to the board......

For me, I'd have to tell them I had wls. It is very deceiving to say that all the benefits came from the gym. I might talk to the people featuring the article first and he or she would probably publish it anyways because it would also attract individuals that have had wls. So it's targeting a new demographic that could increase their revenue. You have still worked hard to get where you are but you had an additional tool to add to your tool box...... JMO

I do have hanging skin on my arms but I can certainly live with it. I even go sleeveless now............I figure it's better than being fat!

TROLL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Troll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eat moist foods for a while, cut in small pieces and chew it really good....This will pass, it just takes time......

I would have difficulty getting my water in so I started mixing it with low calorie G2 Gatorade. Then I was able to get my fluids in and felt much better. All foods at this point need to be moist for your tummy. I would go back to basics for a few days and then slowly add new stuff in. I still drink protein drinks till this day.......

Do you feel dizzy? Headachy? I know my surgeon's office wants us to drink at least 64 ozs a day. It works for me.......

I love my Quest Protein bar Chocolate brownie........Yummy!
