Relationships
My relationship with my husband hasn't changed. We have always been best friends. The only thing that has changed is the frequency of sex.

Could I Be Lactose Intolerant Now?
I am eight months out and I have issues with milk. I bothers my stomach, so I don't know if I am lactose intolerant. Cheese and yogurt seem to be fine, but milk itself upsets my stomach.

Calories?
It's different for everyone. I started out at 400-600 daily and I am doing around 800 right now. But everyone will be different so there will variations.

How Do You Keep Low Carbs?!
I was told to have no more than 15 g carbs daily, but I actually go higher than that. I try to stick with eggs, cheese, yogurt, chicken, fish, etc. It's actually pretty easy. Just do a little research and see what you come up with.

What Is Your Goal Weight ?!
I am 5'1" and my goal weight is 120. I used to be a size 10 when I was younger, but I really don't care about the size as long as I am healthy.

Out Of Plus Sizes Into Regular Size
I went shopping for some jeans because of course I can't really fit into my old ones. THEY ARE TOO BIG!! I went into the regular area where I haven't been in years and found things that fit. I am wearing a 14/16 top which is fine and a size 18 pants. I feel beautiful. Not trying to brag, but I haven't felt this good in a loooooong time. I can feel the goal coming.

C-Section Vs Sleeve Pain
I had a c-section also and thought that hurt worse than the sleeve did. I got up the first time after having the sleeve and was shocked that it wasn't more painful. So, don't worry. Everything will be fine.

Calories
I was getting around 400-600 calories during this stage, but others have been different. Has your doctor told you anything about what you should be doing? Mine gave me a sheet of info on what calorie level I should be at and what I should be eating.

Just Got Back From The Beach
And I haven't gained any weight. I followed the plan and came off it a little bit, but overall did very well since I was around a lot of temptation. I felt great in a bathing suit and in my clothes.

At The Beach
Hey everyone, I got to the beach on Saturday and have been having a great time. I have been following my eating plan like I should eating my protein while everyone else eats what is fixed. I have been going down to the beach and the waves just kicked my butt, it was awesome though. Well, today, I decided I was going to splurge a little since I have been doing well and it is mine and my husbands 13th wedding anniversary. We went out to a seafood restaurant and I got broiled fish, clam and shrimp. It was good, but I couldn't eat it all. We then ate ice cream about an hour later and it was good. I felt yucky later, but didn't get sick. After a while I decided to have a few bites of peach cobbler that was made and it was goooood. Well, tomorrow I am going to start anew and will go back to eating the way I should. I am not going to feel guilty about today because I know I can do this. I had fun with the hubby as we ate and did things together.
