thickchic

Its very normal. It does get better with time. I'm 7 month out and depending on what I eat I still hear it...

Maybe you could redirect the comments by saying something like' date=' "Well being healthy is so much more important than being cute." then just give them a look that says, I know I was cute before.[/quote']

I soo tell people that all the time... I was always cute...

Down 77lbs today and just rode my first roller coaster ever.. I was always afraid of not being able to fit in the seat... but tonight I did and it was AWESOME!

Rather than posting the clothes on Ebay I thought I would try this first. I have clothes size 22 that are career/casual wear. I will be happy to send pictures of each item and if interested you can make me an offer for all or just a few. I need to earn money for new clothes. You can email me at Jkrause1@ptd.net

I would like pics too.. Mayaolivis@gmail.com

Its a mind thing. My dr. Said that doing push ups off the wall while standing will help that. Or some weights from walmart....

So' date=' a few of my girlfriends and I went out to a casino this past weekend... We kind of separated and perused different parts of the place... I was sitting at a penny slot (I don't gamble, so I thought pennies were safe! LOL) and this guy sits next to me and starts talking and stuff... The first thing through my mind was.. OMG, I have a sleeveless shirt... Is he looking at my arms...

At my heaviest, I was never self-conscious about my looks... but lately, it's like.. OMG, I need to do this or this doesn't look right...

Have you guys experienced this??[/quote']

I have always self concious about my arms even pre sleeve. Now its worse. My thighs are jelling up too.lol. I wii fit atleat 3 times a week and now ive added 5lb weights to my routine. Im gonna start doing squats tonight. I love the weight loss and the compliments but i have that i have bat wings......

I had this done also and thought it was no biggie until i was puking with every meal. So i googled hernia repair and its a major surgery with in its self. And with surgery there is swelling. once i realized where it was located and that the swelling was kinda like an obstruction. I just had to eat even slower and chew even more. It will go down more and more each week and it will get easier to eat and keep food down.

I have a pain under my right incision' date=' second from the right to be exact. I was fine, then all of the sudden it started hurting. I have been doing pretty much everything I want to, but I think I might have injured myself bending over to pick up after my son. Now, when ever I move, stand up, turn, sit....just move, it has a sharp stinging feeling. It burns and stings! Any ideas what I have done? Do I need to contact my doctor?[/quote']

I actually started bleeding out of my main incision whrn i was in the hospital. I was pulling my self up on the wrong side. They said it was no biggie cause it stopped. But it did hurt me for atleast 2or3 weeks after. They say its your deepest incision so it it much more sensitive. You have prob over done it. Just take it easy for a few days....

It's also used in ice cream yet somehow we don't blame it for that

I dont eat ice cream either.. LOL

Some of the mio flavors do that to me. I really like the strawberry watermelon and the orange tangerine flavors myself. However' date=' if I put too much into a Water bottle, it definitely isn't a pleasant feeling. Kellog's makes a Protein Water mix that's also good to some people. I didn't care for it, but others swear by the pink lemonade and it's got 4 or 6 grams of Protein in it, which helps with the protein intake.[/quote']

MIO has PROPYLENE GLYCOL the same ingredient as ANTI FREEZE.

22/24 or xxl

How old are you? I've got trendy stuff (I'm 25) and some more classic styles. I can go through my closet in the next day or two' date=' if you can cover just the shipping.[/quote']

I am 32. And trendy might i add. Lol sure i would love that. Just let me know about shipping costs. I will message you my shipping info.

Try resale shops or Salvation Army in your area. That's what I did. I now buy cheap stuff from Walmart until I get to my goal weight!

I check them on a regular basis and never find anything decent. Its all older and not my style...:-(

Everything i have is too big (YEAH). Down to a 22 from an 26/28..

I was the same way.. Now it will take me all day to drink the $1 tea (unsweet of course) from McDonalds.. Lol. Even the small Water bottles are hard for me to finush at once...

Sooooo glad i saw this.... I felt like i smelled like a working construction man but nobody else smelled it... And i am also breaking out like a school girl...

Also i know some of the Protein Shakes are NASTY!!!!! I use the champion vanilla and i add the red sugar free Hawiian punch powder packet to it.. Tastes like a fruit punch cream cicle

I go to weight loss surgery center at mary immaculate hospital. Dr. Terricina is my dr. They are a WONDERFUL.AND SUPPORTIVE STAFF.

Willowsknot my NUT said i need to get 800calories aday atleast for my body to continue to lose weight. But i also need to get my fluids in too. It was very hard until i started drinking sugar free carnation Instant Breakfast or making sure i get my Protein Shakes in. Its killing two birds with one stone. Your getting more calories and the hydration part too.

Kim i was the same way and the following week i lost 4lbs.. Your not getting enough calories and your doy is in starvation mode. Its keeping everything you eat for the fear it wont get more. Once i got my calories up i was back to my regularly scheduled program...LOL

I don't even own a scale. I was sleeved on 3/15. I go to Ollies (a bargin type store) and weigh in weekly... LOL. I keep saying im going to buy one but im scared i will become obsessed....

I also got sick after eating. I was not taking enough time chewing... I started chopping my food up very fine and chewing for 30sec and waiting 30more sec before i took another bite. Your not getting enough calories for the exersize your doing. My dr told me i could not do zumba until i was getting my calories in consistantly for 2weeks. Your body is going into starvation mode and keeping everything you eat for the fear it will not get anything else to eat.

Im from the middle penninsula and was sleeved on march 15 2012
