Tom Question For The Ladies
Okay, I am at such a loss!!!! I stalled out around 7/15/12 for about 2 weeks then around the 30th I lost 5 lbs then got down another 4lbs. In the last week I have gone UP 4 lbs. so in a month's time I have only lost 3lbs. I know it is around TOM and I started working out this past Monday, but anyone have any ideas on YYYYYY this is happening. I am getting anywhere from 800 to 1000 calories a day and about 40-60 grams of carbs. 60+ on protein and 8-10 glasses of liquid (water w/crystal light or unsweet tea w/sweet n low). I am sooo frustrated please any advice would help, I am crying almost daily.

I Think I Want A Wls Buddy- And I Don't Care Where From. Any Takers? :-)
I am doing better daily. I am down 42 lbs from sw and 45 from hw. I have hit two stalls and both really messed with me mentally but they happen. It is really a mental thing for me because I am still so big and can only eat a small amount. Haven't started a regular exercise routine, everytime I start something seems to come up either an injury or having to work 12 hours a day a work. but I am loosing on average about 4lbs a week and I am wanting 15 a month so that is good. are you preparing for your surgery? what are you looking forward to?

Probiotics Yes Or No?
I had stomach issues before surgery and thought maybe they would go away but now I go from being constipated to cramping and diarrhea so much. I was on probiotics before surgery and it helped is that something we as sleevers can take? I know we are not suppose to have asprin products or large pills and my probiotic is fairly large? I hope someone can answer this question and I can resume a more normal life!!!!

Share Goal Weight Fantasy... Evil Ones Welcome ;-)
this thread has made me start thinking about other goals, I guess my fantasy is to feel as sexy as my honey thinks I am. I also :wub: want to feel more comfortable during sex and not have it wear me out like I have been running a marathon after only a few minutes. now for my not so "bad" goals I want to have the athlete body I had in my teens, I won't be that weight but I want to be in that shape, I was never a thin person size 9-10 is what I was but I felt good and healthy and attrative at one time.

Surgery Biggest Mistake Of Life!
i am 7 1/2 weeks out and I am still tired some in the afternoons but it is getting better. I have noticed the further out I get the Less i can eat. Just 1 or 2 bites and my stomach feels sooo full and I feel bad. I am eating proteins, no "junk food" in over 2 months. i have discovered that eggs do not sit well with me anymore they did at first but now not so much. @i_did_it, I understand what you are talking about, I have noticed my wife tries to eat very fast so I am not just sitting there while she eats but I tell her that isn't healthy and I am okay, but sometimes I am not okay and want to EAT!!!!. To OP I am glad you are starting to feel better about your choice. In the end it will all be good I hope for you. I hope for a healthier more acitve life for us all!!!!

Starting At Over 300?
i haven't bought any new clothes because I keep saying I am gonna wear these scrubs till they fall off of me THEN i will spend the money on new ones, I am kinda enjoying my clothes being big on me since I haven't had that in FOREVER. I can't wait until I get wold whistles and stares because I am "sexy" and not because I am big. I am also married but they will have to learn to ignore it LOL. I am trying very hard to stick to eating healthy. I haven't had candy, chips, white rice (and I live in Louisiana where we eat EVERYTHING w/rice, lol), pasta, cakes, pies. I have had frozen yogurt as a treat occasionally but just the yogurt no toppings and only about 3 ozs.
