I think all Protein powders are nasty in Water. Lol
That wasn't helpful. What about almond milk? I don't know a hong about a colonoscopy tho.

Only 4 weeks out but I had complications. I'd still do it again. I'm glad I don't have to though. That first three weeks was hard!!

I don't know how I'm gonna handle this as I'm only 12 days out. I really REALLY don't want my in laws knowing and thy know a lot of people so of I tell anyone it's gonna get back to them. Basically I'm not a big small talker and I don't feel like answering a billion and one questions about it umpteen times to people I dont even know.

Also close your eyes for a moment
Imagine yourself down 50 lbs or so. You're happier. It's easier to shop for clothes. You don't feel like everyone is thinking you're huge or staring at you when you put a froZen pizza in hte cart or little Debbie cakes. Occasionally you catch a glimpse of yourself an think "not bad at all. ". You have energy to play with your kids and you WANT TO! You are more active and feel alive for the first time in a very long time.
I could keep going.
Not everyone's experience is line sharonintx. I can definitely take 8 + bites. I don't drink tho so that's a non issue. I enjoy the foods I used to like and I'm satisfied having it far less often in far smaller portions. Mostly because I'm enjoying SK MUCH MORE in life now. food was all I ever did. Now I do so much other stuff that good really became much less important. Now I eat so I can do the other fun stuff/ fuel my body for running, biking etc. . Not because there's nothing more fun to do.

So life happened and I haven't been around for a Really long time but I've missed some of my pals!! From a quick scroll through the list I don't see anyone I recognize here, I was a member when the site was named Something else.
I'm now two years and 3 months out and I had gotten to 120 lbs but did fall at one year out when I hit goal. I think the "what now's" hit me and I failed. Started bingeing on poptarts and Cookies. In ashamed but I'm back on track. Ready to do this thing.
I'm glad to be back. My goal is to lose this weight again keep it off for six months and hopefully get a mommy makeover

Too funny that you ask this. I didn't really expect this....didn't know it was part of the whole thing. The first time I saw my "lady parts" in the mirror I was like "holy crap!!" It's a good thing though. I got a little lift and it's back where it belongs lol

Thanks everyone. It helps. I don't typically hang around the "vet" forum, but it just struck me the other day that I'm almost 2 years post op. I guess that makes me a vet. lol.

I don't. I am rather clueless on other people's feelings towards me for the most part.
Keep posting, focus on the positive and f'em if they are poopy people.

So I'm a pretty regular poster on the "general discussion" board since before my surgery in 2013. I still need support to maintain my weight loss as much as those who are actively losing. I still struggle everyday to work with my new "tool", I still struggle to make the right choices, and I struggle to keep myself in line. I join the holiday challenges to get me to goal and to keep me accountable to maintain. But more than once I've gotten snarky comments there like I don't have a right to be tracking my weight there. And sometimes when I post responses in other threads about struggles etc I feel like I get some snarky comments there as well. Like maybe once you reach goal or a certain point people don't really want to hear about struggles, or think that you don't need support? IDK......
I mean people on on the pre- and post- surgery forum seem more than happy to get feedback, so I don't get that vibe there, but I guess I just am disappointed because we all need support in this journey, no matter if we are 100 pounds from goal or at goal.
Oh well Does anyone else ever get that vibe??

Are you stressed, trying to make sure you get your Protein, etc?
I read once:
"For men, sex erases stress.
For women, stress erases sex."
! I agree with going through the motions. LOTS of foreplay. It'll come back.
It's really easy to get caught up in your own stuff and not feel like being that close and intimate with someone else. Not let someone else into your personal space bubble.
Also,you said he's getting frustrated. is he being a jerk about it? Biggest turn off!

"Titanium" because that's the song the drs played while they put me to sleep. Fitting, I think.

Louise, very informative.
Ill just out myself here as the worst wife ever because I will NOT ever do this again. I don't even like swallowing my own phlegm. And it tastes better.
Shudder*
