Do you still eat sugar based foods like cookies? I am 9 months out, down 95 pounds!

I am from Little Rock. Sleeved on April 23 by Dr Gibbs. Down 75 pounds so far

I do a non fat chai tea latte every once in a while but it eats up a lot of my calories for the day. So it is a present to myself, a luxury!

I know what you mean. I think it is my body adjusting to digesting and it is causing pain. My doctor nurse said milk of magnesia will combat the pain killers, lets hope!

I had mine taken out on Thursday. I was in a lot of pain. Now it is more sore pain than indigestion pain. How are you feeling?

I called my ob-gyn and told him about my hormone rages. He changed my hormone replacement (hysterectomy) to a lower dose. We store hormones in our fat and with less fat I was overloaded. I will tell you all if it works but I do feel more aware of my attitude. It was good to say it out loud

Anyone else loose your patience recently? I never had road rage or said exactly what I was feeling with the irritation I have since surgery. Lately I have made an employee cry, insulted my mother (we are really close) and yelled at another driver. I hate feeling like this

I was just talking to my mom about being scared of food last week. I am making an appointment to see my therapist and going to group this week but this post has made me feel better. Not alone! I don't want to eat bad food and fitness pal has helped but I am nervous about eating out, what to order, people looking at what I don't eat! I use to eat my feelings and I don't want to fall back into that

Well I need to get a man! 50 shades of Grey, all this talk about better sex, etc... This thread has made me giggle and turn a bit red. Love it!

I have always been warm blooded, it was really bad after the surgery. I froze everyone out at my house and had to take 2 showers a day! It passed about 2 weeks after surgery. The more weight I lose, the colder I get! Yeah!!!

I made it to 195 a few days ago but didn't want to believe it! Yeah!

Not supportive at all! I have supportive family and friends around me. They may not believe in the procedure, but they believe in me. Last week I opened the freezer and saw Ben and Jerry's, I almost cried until I looked at the label. Not one I would like. My mom said "I would never buy something you liked, that is just cruel". That is what you need around you, people who want good things for you

I was sleeved on 4-23 and including pre op I am down 29 pounds so far. I had a stall 2 weeks ago and was a little depressed but then it started coming off again. I am so happy I made this choice. I am finally learning how to eat right. I told my family over the weekend "I have a new body and I am going to treat it right this time "
